Get Well Dandelion Wishes.. for me...

One of the lovely things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that you know a lot of lovely people... who are very talented... and who love to send a beautiful hand made card to wish you well...
when you most need it...

As I have said a few times this week... never ever underestimate the power of a card in the post... especially a beautiful handmade one... or lots!
So ... I am going to share the talents of some of these wonderful ladies with you... today and probably for a few days... as I got...(and am still getting) "card bombed!" by my fellow Stampin Up team mates... 

So... in no particular order... first up are a couple of beautiful cards using our Annual Catalogue favourite, Dandelion Wishes...
A beautiful Balmy Blue & Silver embossed Large Square Easel card by the lovely Anne Williams...
And a stunning Mint Macaron and Very Vanilla A6 card by Suzi Jepson...
Again... thank you ladies... even if you did all make me shed a tear!!! 

So I can hear some of you asking "why?"... and I will just keep it very matter of fact! So I started CURATIVE Radiotherapy treatment for Lymphoma on Monday just gone... I am now 1/3rd of the way through the treatment... and I am feeling absolutely fine... as I can't even feel the treatment happening...  And I am even spending some days having a lovely social time catching up with my friends/taxis to the hospital and back... as they give hubby a break from that daily chore... 

And I have to admit that I am just SO glad to be at this stage... as it has been a long time coming! So please excuse me for my blogging efforts not being quite the same for the last 6 months... well now you know why... and I will be back to normal transmissions very soon... 

So all is good... and ALL will be good... though I guess I may be a bit "tired" at this years On Stage... but I will have a good excuse!
