A Birthday Post

-
Today is my birthday, i am a whole 46 years old, some may say still young and others will see an old lady, but i still see a young person trapped in a body that doesnt work, its a good day,  i was left to sleep until i was ready to wake up which was nice, i have a beautiful card and gifts from my adopted mum, she is a star, i dont know what i would do without her, and no she didnt adopt me, i adopted her, she is my best friend and craft buddy too, so excitement number one, then a beautiful die set from my boys, which i adore, and then the person sending the die set had been ill, and was having to delay the dies which worried me so i emailed her and said that the dies were a present from my boys and i usually only get the one gift which is the one from them, so i was worried it wouldnt turn up, i was really stressed as my boys are autistic and they know that usually they are the only ones to get me a gift. all of which is usually accurate however this year i have had another surprise, which is flowers from my sons dad, they are so beautiful and such a lovely surprise, so from my usual one gift from my boys each year i have got 4 presents, and the extra present well, the lovely lady who i bought my birthday dies from added some bits to my parcel, and gave me an extra gift, and i have to say they really are pretty, and all of this has really made my birthday extra special, plus lots of messages on my facebook wall which is also awesome, and its only lunchtime, i feel so lucky today

There may be another post later with photos this time of all the pretty things i have made who knows,

Theyre finally here, im sure someone out there will know what i mean when you order something and its delayed for whatever reason and youre just sat there patiently waiting for something to turn up, and you sit and wait but deep down youre really fed up but because theres a good reason for the delay you cant shout and stamp your feet and demand a solution, well you could but i doubt it would get you anywhere. the easel cards shown here are from an order made 2 months ago, logistics held everything up, but i dont blame the company i bought it from, i adore the new cards, the toppers are a whole different matter, not only are they an early birthday gift from my boys, but i only ordered them on monday, and they arrived bright and early yesterday, and im already really happy with them, and this is just a small selection of what is available. The red and black card has a little bit missing, i plan to add a photograph to the front too, its of my friend who sadly passed away re...

back again, have spent since 5pm today asleep, it’s common for me sadly, and it’s not like I don’t get sleep at other times of the day, just never the right times, I feel I miss so much of my day by sleeping and then I know I will be awake most of the night, I wake every 2 hours when I sleep because one side or other is in pain, so it’s not great sleep but at least tonight im off to make crackers, I started on them last night and want to get a set of 6 done for tomorrow to show everyone, and I only have 2 more to go. once upon a time making two bits would have been nothing, it would take no time at all and I wouldn’t be wondering whether I will fall asleep before I get them done, so will there be 6 crackers or 4 in the photo tomorrow, that is the big question, and do I fall asleep and hope I wake up able to create the crackers, we shall see tomorrow, but no matter what happens I have some lovely goodies to share with you that I have already made, and will hopefully make you all s...

Positivity one of the things i enjoy most is making positivity books, i use everything i can find in this big wide web and use all of my scrapbook resources to make some uplifting pages, i usually give them to friends especially as i am a member of some Fibromyalgia support groups, and sometimes you just need that little extra push or reminder to get up and get on, and sometimes it may just be the get up that happens but hey, we should all judge our achievements differently, what is an amazing achievement for me might be something you do every day, like making it through a day without a nap or two, or even getting up and getting dressed, it all depends on how well i feel that day, there is so much talk about how FAKE fibromyalgia is, and fair enough, i used to think it wasnt as bad as it sounded, i mean, my friend who had it seemed to get so much done, and the childminder who had it was still an amazing child minder so when i was diagnosed finally i sat...
