CRS

Hi everyone!  Anybody remember me? It has been a LONG time since I dropped in...missing you all and feeling in the mood for some scrapping!  

God bless the Queen. May she rest in peace. ?

Now we are all settled in our new little home, Ken decided after all we have been through it was time for a little holiday. Tomorrow we head to a seaside town for four nights. I am looking forward to morning walks on the beach. 

I am very happy! Today an EHD saved from our flooded home is working  as previously it would not work. It has some older digi products with lots of Scrap Girls items.  

My husband is a very  happy man. Last week he went to the local museum which is a small village set out, to volunteer. In conversation about all the woodwork he used to do, they have allocated him a  workshop of his own to set up and use. He will make wooden items to sell in their Information centre store.  With our move to a retirement village I was concerned about what Ken  would do to fill in his days... 

We have been home from our trip for 2 weeks now. I had been experiencing shortness of breath since day one of our walking tours & it hadn’t gotten any better so decided to go to the GP. She sent me for a CT scan - pulmonary angiogram & they found I had bilateral blood clots in the lungs so straight to ED & spent the night in hospital. Luckily they had not impacted my heart but I am now on blood thinners for the next 6 months. Just have to rest & take it easy.

We have moved into our little home but it is taking time to settle in because I became very sick on the weekend with a bad sinus attack. Today I have set up my computer and all is well with my internet through my smart phone which I am happy about. 

Phone call this afternoon from Real Estate to let us know someone wants to buy our flood damaged house for slightly more than we were expecting. 

Just finished my very first digital layout since end of February and first on my new laptop. I did not find the small 15inch screen an issue for me which I am pleased about. 

I now have my new laptop and am busy setting it all up. Sadly the EHDs my daughter saved from my flooded home does not include my newest ones that had all my current Scrap Girl products so I will need to use mostly older items. 

I hope you all had a lovely Easter. Unfortunately, we finally succumbed to Covid, as did our son and his family. So we all spent the Easter holiday week in our own homes feeling sorry for ourselves that we couldn't have our usual festivities. I still have a few days of iso to go, being one of the last to get it! I just feel like I have a massive head cold! Hope everyone else is well! ?

I can't believe in 3 short weeks Colby will graduate from college and be moving back home

Today we were to head to our town via the town where my new laptop is waiting for me but the trip was cancelled. the town is once again cut off with a second lot of flooding. Looking at photos on facebook the water may have reached only our backyard so all things stored in our shed that we saved should be okay, hopefully. 

I have just added to my thread - "Update on my situation."  I miss you all! 

Working on probably my favorite ScrapSimple club ever...now I wish I wasn't working on it about 4 months early

Today is my Scrapgirls anniversary. 12 years.

We have Covid in the household. Two of Iain’s housemates started the ball rolling then I tested positive yesterday & Iain today. David is the only one still negative. At least we are all vaccinated & it is pretty much like a head cold.

Sorry to have "dumped" in the gallery today. Getting things done before a week or so of husband having numerous doctor appointments and procedures lined up to see about how to proceed after a concussion that has left him in considerable pain when he moves his head and a numb arm. Hope to be back before long.

Has anyone seen Pantone's 2022 Color of the Year?  It's Very Peri - I love it.   I posted some info HERE

My 15 year old has COVID, symptoms started yesterday but are mild. The rest of us are negative so far, but it's a waiting game!

Today we said goodbye to our son’s faithful companion of 12 years as he crossed over the rainbow bridge. It was a sad moment as we had to take Kaos to the vet as he had been unwell for several weeks and was unable to eat. He had lost about 15kg so his time had come. To use Iain’s words - “He was a good boy.”

How in the heck am I old enough to have boys that turns 20 today

My son-in-law did contract covid from his friend and so far the middle granddaughter has mild symptoms. 

Sadly our plans have changed. This will be the first Christmas Ken and I will spend on our own in our 29 years of marriage. Daughter and son-in-law phoned at lunch time about an hour before we planned to leave our home,   to ask us not to come. They had a friend stay this week who left yesterday and that person now has definite symptoms of Covid.
