A huge huge thank you to everyone for all your emails and well wishes, I am sorry I haven't had chance to answer them all yet but I will this week but let me just say right after the last show my mum was taken into hospital and we were all told she was not going to make it and 7 or 8 hospital transfers later she has now defied all odds and has been given 6-18 months to live but is fairly comfortable and getting on although is very confused now therefore we all have been at the different hospitals most days and the days I wasn't this week I was prepping for tomorrows shows, yes that's right folks I am on Create and craft tomorrow( actually its today as its 3 a.m) at 10a.m and again at 4p.m with a stamping show and as most people struggle with male cards I have gone for a more masculine theme with a couple of girly bits too and also a bit vintage, shabby chiq.
I hope you can come join me as I have done a couple of items for people to email in and win as usual so be sure and write into the show for your chance and next week to celebrate my return and some normality I hope .. I will be doing a giveaway and sending some bits out too.
So to wet your whistles as it were I have a look at one of the cards on the shows.
Anyway my lovely Internet family I am so sorry I haven't seen you all in so many weeks but I really look forward to catching up and showing you all that I have been working on , I also have a whole collection I have drawn for Heartfelt Creations coming out soon and of course I will let you know when that is.
Unfortunately those of you who were looking forward to meeting me at Aly Paly I won't be there now, I was told yesterday that they are having someone else there this time so I am not going to get there (so sad) I really was sooo looking forward to seeing you all there. But I would love to know if any of you will make it cos I could come down and have a coffee with you anyway.
My foot is healing very well and I finally came off the crutches this week so although I still have a fair bit of pain it is becoming more manageable and less relentless as it were so thank you for all your kind thoughts and emails, cards and thoughts in general I really am so blessed to have you all here as I know I have been away a while.
I will leave you all now with kind thoughts and I hope you can make it tomorrow if not huge hugs to you all anyway.
Love and best wishes
Kim

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteSo pleased your back, I Love the Card you've produced today it's great when masculine Cards are made as I'm rubbish at trying to come up with ideas and different techniques. I'm sorry to hear about your Mum, I would have Loved to have met you for coffee at Ally Pally but I'm not in the country I'm on holiday!
Hopefully you will be at Ally Pally in April, or even better a workshop in Kettering I'd Love that.
I know you've been taking care of your Mum but don't forget to take great care of yourself.
I'm so looking forward to the shows it will be great to see you once again on air.
Love and Hugs

Hi Kim. You have been missed but now I know why, bless you. I am so sorry to hear about your Mum, life becomes one long whirl of visiting and seeing doc's etc doesn't it. Glad that she is a little more comfortable now. My thoughts are with you, sadly been there ourselves with my lovely Mum in Law, bless her, and it is such a difficult time. Much as you will be caring for your Mum it is important that you take care of yourself too. Glad that the ankle is slowly improving, at least you have got rid of the crutches, that is a step(no pun intended!) in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI will be watching the 10 am show hopefully but am out at 4pm so will have to record that one. Enjoy yourself on the shows. Take care.
Hi Mrs B.
DeleteGood to see you and thank you for saying I was missed , I am so sorry about your mother in law too.I hope you managed to catch the show and that you had a fab day yesterday. I oved the show with Leonie at 4 too and was good fun with techniques.
Thanks for your kind words

Hello Kim, sorry to hear that it has been such a trying time for you. I can honestly sympathise, as my Mum-in-law has been in hospital for 5 weeks and have been doing twice daily visits. So glad your Mum is improving. Love your masculine cards, they are always awesome.Take care and also try get some rest yourself. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget
DeleteI am so sorry to hear of your mother in laws illness too, The daily visits take it out of you dont they, and hospital charge ridiculous amounts for car parking I have to throw out there. idiotic amounts.I am so pleased you like the masculine cards they are always a worry for people so I thought I would do some inspiration.
Huge hugs

Oh, i'm soooo glad that you're back! I was getting worried about you. Sorry to hear about your mum, that really is a trial for you, but it's good that you have some more time with her, These extra months will be very precious. Watching you right now, I sooo love your style and you explain everything so well. I could spend a serious amount of money but must be good! Glad you're back! Love Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah
DeleteIt is so good to know that you love my inky , painty style and really enjoy the fun. I love putting together the themes as I know what we discuss on here and what you all struggle and enjoy. How are you feeling are you having some good days at the moment too, is there anything you enjoy most?
Glad to be back
Hugs and love
Kim xxx
Hello Kim! It's good to have you back. You've been so busy and must have been so worried about your mum. Hospital visiting and worrying about care really take it out of you; you'll be ready for a rest. Watched the first show and saw your stunning samples. Hope to see the next one but may have to catch up later! Hope it all goes well and that they look after you.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, Jan
Hi Jan
DeleteHuge thanks for such a lovely message, very kind. I am glad you enjoyed the samples and I hope you managed to see the show with Leonie too as it was huge amounts of fun, just to wing it some times too as that is how you get your stamps at home so why not me do the same.
Hope you are well too.
Hugs Kim xxx

Hi Carol my ovely friend
DeleteThank you as always for your kind words.I am so sorry I was up working for two nights before the drive to C&C towers and just had time to do this blog post before getting in the car. Unfortunately I couldn't take my lap top with me as it doesnt travel well, the lead is very dodgy in the socket so it has to stay exactly in one spot to charge silly thing haha, temperamental lol
I will email you today and have a catch up.
Huge hugs lovely
Kim xxxx
Hi Kim, I love watching your shows on C & C, your demos are fab..I taped and watched today's shows and just managed to catch your blog address, and I look forward to seeing the background demo you were trying to complete on the 4 pm show. Sorry to hear your Mum has been so unwell, glad she has defied the docs predicitons. Take care x
ReplyDeleteHi Anne
DeleteNice of you to come and be with us on the blog, I do try to answer your messages as often as I can so please check back to see if you get a reply from time to time.
Thank you and I am so glad you enjoy the demos yes I will do a step by step on the background as we ran out of time but it was good fun as always.Leonie is sooo fab.
Thanks for your kind words.
Hugs
kim xxx
You and Leonie should be on together more often, you can see you are both on the same wavelength ! Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment, and thanks also for the new postings xx
DeleteEvening Kim, great to see you back on the TV and blog, so sorry to hear about your troubles with your Mum, I can empathise as I went through something similar several years ago now. Nice to hear your ankle is improving and you certainly haven't lost your crafting talents, I watched both shows, what a surprise to see you there, and really enjoyed your demos, particularly watching you do those inky backgrounds. Don't think I will be making it to Ally Pally show, I'd love to go and to meet up but the train fare makes it rather too expensive from Doncaster, especially as I'd have to buy things when I got there!!! I've been investing in some Justrite stamps and Heartfelt ones recently, think they are great. Take care x.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie
DeleteThank you it was so good to be back too. I was sorry to hear of your similar issues too, it certainly is hard but so good being on the show and knowing you are all out there too. so comforting. I am just me as always and really really love showing the painty and inky side to me.
I am so pleased you like the inky backgrounds, I will be starting to do a serious of more techniques on here and backgrounds will be one of the first as its one of my most asked for items.
I love just rite and heartfelt too, watch out for the collection from heartfelt soon with lots of cogs etc, cos I drew almost the entire collection apart from sentiments and a couple of pics.
Hugs and love
Kim xxx
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteloved your shows and techniques you showed us - absolutely great.
Hope your mum keeps on improving AND THE SAME GOES FOR YOUR FOOT - did the doctor's say how long you still have to put up with the pain?
Hugs, Rose
Hi Rose
DeleteSo pleased you enjoyed the shows. doctors said 9-12 months post Op so lets hope not too much longer before im like the bionic woman with the titaniam in my foot hey lol.
thinking of you dear
Kim xx
Hi Rose
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you enjoyed the shows. I hope things are going ok with you and yours too. You know I am here for you too.9-12 months in total for foot apparently but it is definitely better and slowly slowly will improve. At least it will be long lasting better not just temparary better if you get my meaning.
I will email you
Hugs for now
Kim xxx
