My hair is starting to grow back, not much and I look a bit 'ard like I have just been released from Borstal (no messin' with me innit!!) but it's coming back. Alan reckons I could go out without my wig, yeah right! I don't think I will be inflicting this look on the world for a while yet.
Now those of you that know me, know that I am a card maker first and foremost and I just don't "do" scrapbooking. I haven't done a layout for about 2 years, and I reckon I have only done about 4 in total like ever!, however I spied a gorgeous layout in the readers gallery of Scrapbook Inspirations by a lady called Gemma Meaden and I got inspired. Although this isn't an exact scraplift, her layout got my creative mojo started. I used my Cricut , for the alphabet, scalloped mat and some of the snowflakes. I also used snowflake die from Quickutz in my new Big Squeeze (total bargain from Arty Miss at £19.99 with an alphabet included). I have gone a bit die cutting mad of late, I bought a Cuttlebug last weekend too - oops!
Crafting can be dangerous, I dashed into my office yesterday morning and skidded across the room in a manner worthy of "Dancing on Ice". I stood on the acetate protective cover for the Cricut cutting mat and almost did the splits!!! HA HA HA!! got the shock of my life and a fit of the giggles.
I was signed off work last week, I have been working throughout my treatment since the side effects haven't been bad at all. However I realised that I have been overdoing it and my body really does need time to recover between treatments, so I am now off work for a couple of months, so hopefully I will soon start to feel a bit less knackered. I have my next chemo on Tuesday next week and then I only have one more to go - hurrah!!!!

Great to see the hair growing back won't be long before it's a reasonable length to stop wearing the dreaded wig. Must be a good feeling to know that the end of your treatment is in sight. With a couple of months off work your mojo is bound to pick up! Your layout is fab the little one is sooo cute too! I got a Cuttlebug at Christmas time and I love it. I believe there should be some new folders coming out so looking forward to thatx
You look fabulous!! Hope you are doing well and taking it easy.
I bet some blog hopping will get you back into the swing of things. Good to see you!
