Mondays coffeepot

Hello there! I am hoping you are well. I am ok - sore back and tired but the most difficult thing just now is my poor Mischief - she's going through it - she refused to eat for a while and it appears to be something to do with anaemia. The vets don't know why she's anaemic and think something is going on inside that we can't pin down. I am now regretting not having insurance as I just cannot afford for her to have more tests that may not even solve the issue. Todays bill was over £500 for blood tests, an overnight stay and drips, specialist food and they suggested if she went off to a referral centre it would be around £2000 in costs. What a nightmare! Anyway she is home now but doesn't seem right yet to me - she hasn't eaten the food I put down for her yet. Fingers crossed she'll eat it overnight.

Anyway - coffeepot on Monday I was in charge - I used a few different TH blueprint christmas stamps....


A closer look ...



All cards were created on a distressed background. The trees are decoupaged up and the soldier and gingerbread man are just flat.

The ladies enjoyed making these - some used the gingerbread house whilst others used the snowman ...sorry I don't have pictures of these!!!

Big hugs

Rachel xx

  5. Oh Rachel I do hope Missy picks up, poor wee soul. Treatment of pets is so expensive and can't always be managed, fingers crossed you won't have to make a decision.
    Fabulous selection of cards today, great designs and colours, hugs Kate x

  7. Fantastic cards Rachel, looks like you had fun at the coffepot. Sorry to read about your cat, pets can be very expensive when things go wrong, but insurance is expensive when they are fine.

  11. Fabulous cards love the images and distressed backgrounds-hope Mischief is okay -when our little dog(on the lead)was attacked by a staffy-off a lead -it was emergency vets as a Sunday and after just an overnight stay with fluids for shock and an x-ray which suggested no damage we were left with a dog with a permanent limps and muscle damage and a £700 bill which thankfully our daughter paid for us
