I guess I never did do things by half... So 2 and a half years later and I've had chemo, mastectomy, radiotherapy, a second mastectomy and still seem to be here... Along the way I have made some incredible friends who I will have for life and love to pieces, sadly along the way far too many wonderful women have died and the names and stories of each one are etched on my heart...<br /><br />Scrapping - don't do too much of that these days although I go through spells of having good intentions...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6883455111314291668-7487128443972614771?l=randomthoughts-theresa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>theresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10748727248342657159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883455111314291668.post-61227732466231627802008-05-06T00:24:00.000-07:002008-05-06T00:28:51.625-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w0ImRDWkBLk/SCAInBMDTCI/AAAAAAAAAOA/YjyPMs27oJw/s1600-h/IMG_3229.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197163436412455970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w0ImRDWkBLk/SCAInBMDTCI/AAAAAAAAAOA/YjyPMs27oJw/s400/IMG_3229.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I've been missing for a few weeks - first we were off in Majorca for a fortnight's holiday... and then sadly the day after our return my Mum died...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So I havn't done the shop challenges for a while... but here is what I did for the sketch challenge on April 12th...

Full details of the sketch are over on the shop blog.</div><div>For my example I decided to use the seeds kit that we had in the shop earlier this year... Unfortunatly this is now out of stock - but there is loads of other scrummy goodies over there.</div><br /><div></div><div>So my example - This photo of me was taken on the recent lurve thread retreat i went on... I hardly ever scrap photos of me...</div><br /><div></div><div>The journalling reads -</div><br /><div></div><div>It's strange as you get older - your body seems to change around you. Bits that were perky and proud start to go south all of their own accord... You can tell your eyesight is getting worse... Still at least that means you don't have to worry so much about what you can see in the mirror... Me - I'm happy as myself...

That's what comes of being the baby of the family when your older brother and sister were older enough to be teenagers in the 60's... The photo is of Molly...
