When my kids were little I used to look forward to bank holidays with trepidation because hardly one went past that we didn't have to see the emergency GP or a trip to Accident and Emergency, I thought those days were past. In the early hours of Saturday morning we took a trip to A & E with my hubby who was in so much pain it was scary, thankfully it was a kidney stone which he past under the influence of a lot of morphine. He was still in quite a lot pain when we got him home but with some strong painkilling pills he managed to fall asleep. He didn't want me to stay home and miss out on the Glitter Pot demo's but he wasn't too happy when I arranged a Baby sitter in the shape of DS.I'm so glad we did because we had a fabulous time and with the help of some coffee I managed to stay awake, had a chat with Stamping Caz and Claire while waiting for the queue at the till to die down. The lovely Kay Carley was shrinking plastic, Jane Gill was making some stunning flowers with punches, Julie Hickey was making cards with the craftwork Owl and Francoise had her new stamps and peel offs. DD brought Francoise jungle set so I will be borrowing that off her later. Quick phone call home and we popped into Crafts U love on the way back and I picked up a Fiskars apron lace punch.
Once home exhaustion set in so I only got to finish this card this morning, I've used my new set of nestablities, Bloom and Grow download papers, funky flower punches and of course Tilda, the fabulous sketch is from Bev for Just Magnolia.
Today we're just chillin', hubby a lot better but feeling worn out just in need of some TLC.

Beautiful card as always. Glad to hear hubby is feeling better now and you managed to get to your demos.
Geeze Deb, I thought I was the only one who had their own coffee mug at the emergency room. Glad it was just a kidney stone with hubby and nothing more serious.
Your card is gorgeous, but then again, when don't I say that, glad you had a great time at the Glitter Pot. After all that you deserved a little R&R..
love colours and the papers that you have used
So pretty Debby and I love how you have used the dp behind Tilda too, Gorgeous colouring, Big Hugs, Nikki x
Oh what a night Debbie but glad you managed to enjoy some me time at crafting. It's not just physical tiredness though when these things hit you it takes a toll emotionally too. Despite all that a lovely card. Take care and be kind to yourself.
