Birds on a fence!

So glad to be here again and typing but it's sheer will power! I have been so sick that I thought I could never write on my blog again. I couldn't hold a drop of water and the odor-sensitivity was totally out of proportion. I find it difficult to eat and to drink, but I'm fed up of doing nothing but stare and wait until its gone. I was given an anti-nausea pill that cost more than 50 euros (The State pays everything 100 percent) which didn't help me either so I just have to get through it knowing that I will see good times again. I have at least eaten one apple today.  Thank you to continue to pray as I feel hope when I can count on the Lord.



This is what I wanted to share today, I made it Tuesday already after I received a little package from Hellemor. Can you see the little crochet hearts - aren't they beautiful. The card she sent me which is here underneath, just melted my heart and I so wanted to case it. I couldn't get it as nice as hers because I don't have all the stamps she used but I sure enjoyed having her card as a reference. Hellemor thank you so much!


We have both used distress inks. I am a real fan of Helle's collage cards.


And here they are together, chirping to each other!

HOPE to be back soon!! So glad you make me feel connected to the world!

  3. Dear Jacqueline, I'm so sorry to hear how bad you're feeling......but it will pass, and I guess you just have to endure it. Does it help to envision that a war is going on inside you, and the medicine is winning! I'm sending lots of hugs to you from me.

    These cards are wonderful! I love Helle's cards, too. So glad that you were up to making your lovely one. The crocheted hearts are so sweet.

  16. I am so sorry that you are feeling so very sick due to the chemo. I hope you will feel a bit better soon.
    I am impressed that you are still creating. I know; card making can be a distraction and it can set your mind in another direction for a few hours. And I am blown away by the beauty of your card. Hellemors'card is stunning too.

    Thinking of you; take care...

    I saw these words and thought of you Jacqueline.
    I can only hope the Nausea passes quickly, try and think thoughts that make you Happy,it is unfortunate that the treatment is so harsh to obtain a cure!.
