Its time for snow at Indigo Blu

Hello lovelies! Would you believe it - I'm sitting here watching Holby City (strange I know) and there's a baby on it on an ECMO machine - unbelieveable!

Anyway - that aside - Shaun is still stable - the ECMO is being reduced and everything is looking okay. Either today or tomorrow the consultant will reopen the skin on Shauns' chest and have a closer look at the new heart. He will remove the ECMO and either replace it with an R-vad or nothing at all - depending on how things are looking. Then they'll be able to close his chest properly and start the process of waking him up. Fingers crossed that things go well.

I am so behind on card making - I made a batch of cards using indigo blu stamps the other night - they're not what I would have liked to have made - given time - but they're okay! Here's the results:


apologies for the terrible lighting for the picture - its sooooo dark here at present - day and night it seems!

I'd like to enter these into indigoblublogchallenge challenge-22-let-it-snow

Thanks for your continued support! Big hugs! Rachel xx

  8. Super looking cards Rachel, although I'm sure people will realise that you have other things on your mind this year. I'm glad to hear that Shaun is still stable and things are looking OK. I'm going away for the next ten day and will be out of contact with blogging, but I am keeping the fingers crossed and the prayers going while I'm away.

    Hugs

  15. Not been about for a day or so Rachel, so just to let you know I am keeping up to speed with things and the fact you can even think about cards let alone complete some beauties says a great deal for your determination. Sending love and prayers as always.
