Wow its been a long time since I posted but there have been a lot of reasons.</div><br /><div align="center">After our wonderful Cruise in the New Year which seems like a life time away now, I had some very sad news. My Dear Grandad who had been fighting Cancer had got worse while we were away. Thankfully I was able to spend a couple of weeks with him on my return before he sadly passed away. Seeing him suffer like he did was not easy but I wouldn't change being at his bedside for those few weeks for the world. Making him comfortable and chatting to him and seeing him smile, when he could was a comfort to us all.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">I must say though that his Death hit me hard, even though I was expecting it, I have found it very hard and the past months have not been easy. I was very close to him and thought I would be able to cope with his death as it was expected... but I was wrong. But with the love of my family and my OH I'm manging to get on with life.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">And although life is getting easier, and I've been busy sorting out my flat to rent out, I just haven't had the motivation to start doing my cards again yet. I've also had problems with my internet at home too, but I hope to be back soon.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">I do want to say a MASSIVE thanks to all the girls at Penny Black for all their support and understanding and to Kath for all the hard work she has been doing while I've been absent, your an angel.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Take Care</div><div align="center">Love</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85693/traciejane/4c3dc817854b1cd9f544ea3c23462475.png" /></a></div>traciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07831455603191316948noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270448937811666764.post-32147269639332513962009-12-25T08:45:00.004+00:002009-12-28T16:46:16.810+00:00Caribean Cruise<div align="center">I'm logging off of blogger now for a few weeks....we're off on a Caribean Cruise on the 29th December for 2 weeks and with so much do still....I won't be back online till the 13th Jan.</div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Thank you to all my blogging buddies for your kind words a support over the past year, and would like to wish you all a</div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Very Merry Christmas</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">& a</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Happy New Year</span></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Hope you all have a fabulous time with your families and friends</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Lots of Love</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85693/traciejane/4c3dc817854b1cd9f544ea3c23462475.png" /></a></div>traciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07831455603191316948noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270448937811666764.post-1064519975734061842009-12-19T08:00:00.002+00:002009-12-19T09:34:50.135+00:00Penny Black 80 & Sketch Saturday 82<div align="center">Morning everyone, hope your all keeping warm in this chilly snowy weather...brrrhhh !!!
