CHEERS

 Today my card features a digital image from Kenny K I have had this one for a very long time and as it is my son's birthday this month I thought that I would colour him up and make a card.

I coloured him with Promarkers stencilled the background and die cut him into an oval framed die, the papers are from my stash I added a stamped sentiment on the front along with some mirror card punched stars and I used a new die for the inside, I think this is called a Z fold card

I will be going into hospital on Thursday for my ankle operation, hopefully all be be okay a tad nervous
I had a bit of a crap week last week I had an argument with a woman in the shopping car park, then my neighbour asked me to stop feeding the birds, he doesn't like them landing on his roof and he has found a couple of dead ones in his garden where either the cats or fox has attacked them.  
I was a bit lost for words I have been feeding the birds and wildlife for many years especially during the drought that we have had.  Unfortunately I am not a divine being and have no control over wildlife I cannot tell there where to land nor can I stop them from flying into other peoples gardens so needless to say I will not be stopping feeding the wildlife.

I received some upsetting news this morning that my sister was in hospital she is the oldest of us seven kids and being the first born daughter was very close to mum, she lost her husband a few years back around Covid time but you always think your loved ones are going to last forever, I know that is impossible especially since my mum passed but I know I have never been the same since she left and the clock seems to be ticking a lot faster.
take care all

Unfortunately I am not enjoying this dry hot weather the flora and fauna are suffering I am keeping the bird baths filled and making sure visiting wildlife have water to drink throughout the day and night, I still do my mum's and brothers garden but it is so sad to see the plants suffering we are saving all the washing up water so we can try and give as much sustenance to the plants to try ensure that that don't wilt and die.  
Take care
