Sorry I didn't make it last week, a good friend of mine died after a seven year fight with cancer, it certainly puts everything into perspective and every day I am so grateful my cancer is stable and I am still here to help raise funds for charities with my cardmaking. I also had a bad outer ear infection and the tennis elbow is still playing up, but hey, I'm still here and that is the main thing. You just learn to live with pain and get on with life and crafting helps me a lot to cope with that.
So what is on my tray today? It's a card I've just put together with offcuts and the backing paper was free in a magazine for Fathers Day. It's ideal for a male card and this one is going to be so ta-dah - perfect timing!
I've got a few ideas in my head so as usual I've got a few things on the go at once. It keeps my little grey cell working!
Happy WOYWW everyone!
Enjoy!

Oh Karen, I am so sorry to hear about your friend, it really does put things into perspective. I complain about constant pain but it is much better than the alternative... Good that you can turn your hand to crafting. Thanks for your visit too. Happy WOYWW, Hugs, Anne x #51
Love a good male card! I have a hard time with them since most of my embellishments are flowers and butterflies. LOL. I need more manly embellishments. The perspective is good but so sorry about your friend. Happy WOYWW! Tammy #118

Hi Karen
so sorry to hear about your friend but well done you for fighting on and still raising funds. I live with several conditions that mean chronic pain 24/7 so I know where you are coming from and how crafting is a saver.
Loving your papers as you say great for men
have a great WOYWW and enjoy the rest of your week

I'm sorry about your friend's passing and your terrible ear infection, Karen! You are so inspirational with your positive "could-be-worse" attitude! I second that!!
I hope things go better next week and especially that you get rid of that ear infection. Thank you for stopping in to the Playhouse and letting me know you came by! Darnell #20

Condolences over the loss of your friend, that was a long and brave fight indeed..we aren't expecting any less from you missus! SO the card involves a bone...that's the only clue as your main images are upside down..teaser!
I am so sorry to read about your loss. My heart aches reading this.
Also I am sad to read that you have cancer as well. This is really challenging...
I am a cancer survivor myself and just posted a few days ago that I received the lab results of the latest biopsies - all healthy!!! I am so relieved.
I'm glad I found your post - thinking of you!
Kindly, Jana #100
I'm sorry about your friend. I am also sorry cancer has struck you, too. That card really IS perfect for a man. Reminds me of argyle socks. Have a great slightly late WOYWW from #17.
