Instead of Ironing Blogspot: Life has thrown me a curve ball

Life has thrown me a curve ball.....

Hi blogging friends,

As I type this, I have just returned from hospital having stayed there for 2 days with a family member whilst they had many tests. They have been admitted and will require surgery but the end result at this stage is unknown. My heart is heavy and I have had no sleep for those 2 days. I shall be back at hospital in the morning and what will happen from there is a case of waiting further results. I hope to continue blogging my cards when I can but it will be sporadic. I have four cards to share but haven't had time to write up my blog posts for them.

Please bear with me. My posts will not be filled with hospital details and detailed information about my family member but will be related to my cardmaking which will be my escape from this nightmare - but I shall be very constrained time-wise and may not be able to visit blogs as much as I would love to or respond to emails. As I am the Primary Care Giver, I must concentrate on family for now and do the simple things like keep washing done and up-to-date and keeping other family members informed along this difficult journey.

It is hard to believe that only a short time ago, my little world was a happy place - and now it has been turned upside down. I am very fortunate to have wonderful neighbours in my street and have great support from other family members and my friends plus our Church and an awesome husband who is an incredible tower of support.

Thanks for listening and hopefully I shall get to post something soon!

((hugs))

Welcome to my Blog

Hi - I'm Jocelyn from Victoria, Australia. Thanks for having a peek at my Blog. Hope you enjoy your stay and please don't be afraid to leave a comment - I LOVE reading them and then I can come and visit you too. All content on this blog is copyright to me. Now that I am retired, I hope to blog more often than I have in recent years.

None of my cards are for sale and I am unable take part in image swaps nor stamp images to share - nor do I do Commissions. My enjoyment is solely to make cards to give to friends and family: I just LOVE making cards :-)

I do hope that my cards give you inspiration to make your own but please don't take my original artwork and copy it exactly the same for publication in a magazine, contest submission, challenge blogs or for personal monetary gain eg: E-Bay, Etsy etc.

You are NOT permitted to use any of my cards as samples to help sell any of the products that I use on my cards or projects on any website eg: EBay, Etsy, Online Store etc. as this will infringe my Copyright as I am the intellectual owner of said artwork. Use of my cards without my permission will be reported to the website in question for Copyright Infringement so that they can take the appropriate action required by law. If you do not understand the implications of breaching Copyright Law, you would do well to verse yourself of this information to protect your reputation as a Seller/Store Owner/Website owner.

Feel free to CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) one of my cards for personal use ie: not for competitions, publication or where you would gain financially - but please make a couple of simple changes to make the card reflect your own input and personality eg: brads instead of buttons, different papers or border punch etc. and please include a link back here to my original card as a matter of kindness and courtesy. I have a watermark/web address on my cards to help you remember where it came from.

Feel free to share my cardmaking projects on Pinterest. If you hover over my photos with your mouse, a Pin It Button will appear and you can pin my project which will include the direct link.

All of my photographs are copyright to me and may not be copied, shared or reproduced in any form without consent. Please play fair and don't harvest any of my images. Thank you for your understanding.
