WOYWW 217 ups and downs

Hi world
The last week has been one of highs and lows for me
Lows include my laptop being sick and going to hospital so I am writing this on my I phone .... It will be short,
Menopause melt down ( don't ask!),
It rained ( cooled down)
Highs include ... It rained ( very  refreshing)
I finally found time to make some cards
Lost 7 lb sorry to mislead not ALL this week
I realised the big M is not going away.... Deal with it :0
Anyway here's the desk
 pop over to Julia's to see more http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/


Here you can see
Made cards, lots of DI pads, lots of stamps, texture pastes and I finally found my special awl.
brought some blending stumps for zen tangling.
Anyway enough waffle here's some cards I made inspired by Shaz silver wolf





I finally finished my lace book so if you would like to see it follow the link though I warn you there are a lot of photos :) http://www.janets-fairythoughts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/in-july-my-friend-lee-and-i-went-on-two.html?m=1
Usual rules apply ..... you should know them by now
Visiting on an I phone is slow going bear with!

    We can commiserate together. I had a similar week. (minus the sick computer) I've been menopausal since I was 32 (i'm 40 something now). I think I have found the 7 pounds you lost. I love how your cards turned out. The colors and design are awesome. I hope you have a better weekend. (((HUGS)))

    Hi Janet, I hope you are feeling better soon ... the menopause is a pain but it does go away, eventually, if that is any consolation.Hope your laptop recovers soon too. Congratulations on the 7lb weight loss, that's exemplary :) I struggled to lose just 1lb this week :( Your cards are lovely - I like the tile effect. Hugs - I think you need a hug even if it is of the cyber variety :)) Elizabeth x #16

    It's not fun to not feel well. and having your laptop go to the hospital (computer hospital) wasn't fun either, I bet.

    I'm very impressed at your weight loss. Good for you. Love those cards, too. they are all beautiful.

    Happy WOYWW from #2.

    Life can be a bit of a roller coaster at times can't it, but good on you for your weight loss achievement. Your cards are just gorgeous I particularly love the second one with the elongated design and pretty butterflies. Happy WOYWW and have a great week! Danie #25

    Hi Janet, DEEP sympathy about the big M - I had a flurry of symptoms a few months ago - but nothing since, if that's what I'm in for I just want a magic STOP button to be installed! Your cards are beautiful, I think the middle one is my favourite, love that water colour effect. Hope you have a better week. MMx #42

    Your cards look great. I can sympathise about the sick computer - mine has just come home after being away a week and its really too difficult to blog on a tablet or ipad.

    Oh dear you are having a rough week. Can understand. Life a bit challenging here as well.I dread the laptop being poorly. I have had post menopause/post menopause symtoms for 15 years now. Gggggrrrrr. My mum said she had one hot flush one day and then nothing.
    Hope things get better for you. Anne x #24

    I feel your pain and am right there with you :)

    You managed to make some pretty nifty cards in spite of it all. I find Shaz inspiring too. I saw that post earlier (today? this week? can't recall) but it inspired me too...not to actually DO anything, but it got my mind racing. Well done for your follow thru!

    Happy WOYWW!

    Aw fab desk with lots of fab goodies on show. Ergh to the M! My mum thinks I'm starting to get symptoms early. I'm doing everything else early so why no that I suppose but I can at least empathise, horrible hot flushes not helped by the humidity. Yay yo the rain too! Take care my friend, stay cool. Zo xx 77

    Hi Janet, love how your mosaic looks like you are looking through a window! Ace. Re the Big M- has anyone ever recommended Agnus Castus? Its a herbal tea you can get from health food shops, and is supposed to be excellent, especially helping with hot flushes.Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz xx #22

    Hope the parcel, (finally got it posted) cheers you up. The horrorpause is a bummer but all things change and you WILL get through it. At least it's not stopping your creativity as you've made some lovely cards there.
    The parcel went all the way to Brighton, all around and back up North but never got to a PO until today when I got home! Hope it's worth your wait!
    love Jo x

    aw mate, it's bloody hard being a gal isnt it. am deeply impressed that you're in the 'deal with it' mind set, good for you, and dont be tough on yourself at the times when 'dealing with. It' is hard. glad you found your awl, and gladder about the beautiful cards, bet Shaz will be chuffed at your inspired-ness.

    Oh my sympathies to you! I just hit the big M and feel like I'm having a melt down, or going slightly insane, not sure which one. So sorry you are/were in the hospital. What a week for you and you still managed to make several beautiful cards!!! You go girl! Thats awesome. I'm late visiting so I hope you are feeling a little better :) Rasz #142
