Up Date on eye and Gift Card For a Child

Good Morning all where do the weeks go !I seem to have spent the last week back and forth to hospital.I went yesterday and oh what a cock up,i was to have further test which i did .But also surpose to get results and was hoping for a diagnosis.But after alot of confussion and staff passing my notes from pillar to post ,a receptionist came up and apologised she had made" a massive cock up" her words exactly and she was sorry.Didnt realise i had been reffered and should have seen the Consultant today.That the consultant isnt here they want you to see.So you guessed it another trip on Monday to see consultant .So now nearly 2 weeks on pian in rt eye,no vision except a blurr,chronic headaches still no diagnosis.Oh well Mondays another week!
Apart from that mass lorry drops stone from his lorry on wya back and have lovely chip right in the view of drivers view.Typical when Mot due so today after taking ouir sophie to have 2 teeth out due to overcrowding...not looking forward to this she petrified dentists so Diazepam before we leave.The worst is i actually told her they could take her into hosp,but NO having 2 teeth out that have grown through her Pallette of all places.Rather her than me i do feel sorry for her as first time having injection or teeth out but her mouth is over crowded.So exciting morning ahead of me!
Anyways i do hope you like my creation if you saw yesterdays post WOYWW this was the card i was working on now complete so hope you like it!ive used my new Penny Black Stamp.

Anyways now onto the creation i have made this based on a sketch from
