We were invited to stay in the perfect spot with a lovely Dutch family near Zeeland in South Holland in the countryside. It was nice weather and we had a very enjoyable time.
When I arrived home, once again I was overwhelmed with your kindness in the form of cards and packages!! I feel truly blessed! I am doing my best to thank everybody personally for this boost and support. Here are a few shares from the last week. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have not even been able to photograph everything, so more next time.
Today at four o'clock I have a check-up for my heart, and Monday the treatment begins. Monday morning I have been told that no Chemo-angels are allowed inside, so I will have to trust in the invisible ones to be with me :).
Several of you have informed me of the possibility of wearing an 'ice-cap'. It is put on the head during treatment and could prevent hair-loss. I have already phoned and they have them available, so it is worth a try!
I did manage to make a card before I left for Holland but couldn't finish it, so I did today to share with you.
Susanne, do you recognize the black paper panel and Tiffany I have used two of the flowers you sent me... thanks girls!
I have been too occupied with priorities to pick up card-making since I've been back, so waiting for the inspiration to start flowing again.
Thanks once again for standing with me!
Have a lovely weekend!
It's so heartwarming to see your Happy Mail ... there are some wonderful people out there in Blog land ... such lovely gifts and cards ... Best of luck to you ...
ReplyDeleteSeeing all of the tokens of love you've received makes me truly appreciate this wonderful card-making community. I hope that you will continue to feel the love and experience the comfort from our collective prayers for you as you start treatment on Monday.

It must give you some courage somehow to feel so 'carried' by all of your blog buddies. You know, there's nothing we can actually DO about what you're going through, all we CAN do is be there for you, listen to you and hope to be of comfort somehow. I'm glad you receive so much happy mail Jacqueline and I just love the card you made, hope you had a wonderful time in our country ;-) Take care, Ira
