Multiple challenges!

I made this card for my Mother in law for her birthday, this is the first time I have used a Magnolia stamp so I hope I did it proud, I loved coloring her with my gel pens, thanks again Lyn for the stamps, now that my craft room is workable I can start stamping! I was leaning the card up against my cat because she wouldn't move when I was trying to take the picture so it looks a little crooked but that is OK, you get the idea. The challenges I have entered this card into are listed below. Read below for more life updates.

So yes more about the hospital as some have been asking, the waiting list is so long that they think I will get in around January, yes you read that right, is that not horrible? I don't know how they expect me to go on for that much longer, I don't know how much worse things could get and how much worse I can feel let alone how long I have to do it for, everyday is a struggle and I hate it. When I get better I am going to fight the system to get this whole waiting list thing changed, the money is not provided by the government to fund more mental health facilities therefore the wait times are terrible, voices need to be heard things need to be changed, and when I am stronger my voice will be heard! ( OK enough of the ranting and political stuff)


I so would like to get out of the house, and do some supply shopping its something that I just cannot send my Husband to do, he doesn't understand, there are thing I need and can't go out to get them!

My husband made this card for his mother and he said I could post it I think that he did an awesome job, even though the picture I took of it isn't that great

  1. Great to see you posting. Your little Magnolia is so cute! Your husband did an awesome job.
    I can't believe you have to wait till January! That is just plain ridiculous, but I suppose thats how public health systems work in all countries.
