Yesterday was lovely. DD went off to see her friend, and I had the house to myself. I actually got some scrapping done! First off, I used a bit of the July Heidi Swapp kit and some green cardstock that nearly matches (well it looks ok in real life) for this picture of my mum's beach. I drew the "hibiscus" and cut it out freehand - doesn't look too bad actually, considering it was past 10.30pm at night!
Then I did a 12x12 of my mum's hands. I used a pale blue cardstock and some patterned paper I got free with a magazine, together with Heidi Swapp arrows and alphas, and a bit of ribbon that my mum gave me (because she totally gets the idea of scrapbooking!). I used a hole punch to make lots of little circles out of the patterned paper and stuck those in a big circle to highlight the hands. I like how it all came out. And on both the layouts I used my French date stamp in the bottom corner. 
And the good news for the day: I called my friend the oncology secretary at the hospital (how could I forget I actually knew someone in that department?) and she went to see the surgeon about the new date for my surgery. He confirmed that I'm on the list, that it must be done, but that (and this is the best bit) it's not that urgent that it can't wait a few weeks. Phew! Anyway, it seems it will be at the end of the month, or at the latest early October. All the staff now know who I am and are looking out for me. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know. LOL!
Lovely layouts and I love the piccie of the *abandoned* bike. The piccie of Mummy's hand is priceless.
So pleased that your op isn't deemed urgent (iykwim) but what a fooh about the mix up.
Happy Wednesday xxx
