Hi and welcome to cardsarus blog spot My name is Jenny Lawrence and I live in Kent. My dear and wonderful husband Tony passed away in March 2019 We had been married for 36 years. I also lost my first Husband to the big C when I was quite young. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Granddaughters and 3 Great Grandsons. I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies.

BARBECUE MAN

Hello dear blog friends and visitors.
I am so sorry I have been away for such a long time.
I needed to catch up on my housework that went all haywire over 
the past few weeks.
I also had to go back to Wales as I had booked to go to the NEC
Stitch and Craft Show with my sister who lives there.
I bought some lovely goodies while I was there.
We visited on the Sunday and as you all may know the weather
was not very kind to us.
I really enjoyed the day despite the weather as it was my first
visit to one of these shows, I do hope it won't be my last as I 
spent far tooooooooo much money as you do. lol.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful wishes and comments.
I very much appreciate every one that you make.
I am still suffering with this problem I have got in the top of my
spine. The pain has now gone but I'm left with a great deal of
numbness in my left finger tips. Luckily it doesn't affect my 
crafting only my typing, good job I don't do that for a living. lol.
I know some of you might think this is carpel tunnel syndrome,
but I had that op 5 years ago.
Well that's enough of my probs there are peeps a lot worse off
than me.

Today I have a card I made for my daughter's partner.
As soon as I saw this image I knew it was for him as we call
him the king of barbecues, as he make such good food for it.

Click to enlarge.

Now the inside.



The digi image was a Mo Manning one coloured in with 
Promarkers, Flexmarkers, and Tria Markers.
The papers used were a combination of Kaisercraft, Dovecraft,
and Papermania.
I used the Grand Scolloped Squares Die, Di-namics Rounded
Banners Die, Di-namics Stars Die, Di-namics Corner Die and
the Grand Square Die.

Thank you again for your visit and patience with my blog.
I do hope you are all keeping well, with this nasty cold weather
we have been having.
I now need a mortgage to pay my electric bill as I am all 
electric. lol.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Jenny nice to have you back, and with a great card too. Jenny have you ever tried taking magnesium tablets for the numbness in your fingers it's just that I started taking it last year before I started all my chemo treatments as my boss who is a pain consultant was telli g me that they were having great results with stopping chemo patients losing feeling in their fingers and toes, I never lost any feeling and got no numbness. I still take magnesium and calcium tablets every day. I am not saying it would work for you but I am just saying what they did for me. Hazel

P.S. we all booked up for Novembers NEC.

Hello Jenny and welcome back, it's lovely to see you here.

Youv'e made a terrific card, fabulous image and so well coloured and designed. Thank goodness your hand condition doesn't stop you crafting. Sorry to here you have this problem, I too have painful hand and fingers but that's athritis, I hope you can get it sorted out. I too would have though of carpel tunnel, butyour right that is usually tingling not so much numbness. Anyway, you take care, kate x

Hello Jenny, so very pleased to see you posting. Your card is great, exactly fitting. Great use of your dies and love your colours. I have to flex my fingers and wrists to prevent the numbness, ideally before I drop something. We have had to switch our heating on for most of the day, don't want to think of the bill. xx Flora
