Inkspirations Sketch Challenge # 12 WINNER…..
Remember me?……
Yeah just when you were wondering where I had gotten myself off to, here I pop up again. I would like to call it popping up for air, cuz that just about sums up how I am feeling right about now! LOL
I have hit the ground running this week, completely not literally ( I only wish) but have had all sorts of events, like doctors appointments, tests, birthday lunches, and unpacking etc…. It has been good and bad. I had some lovely birthday suprises, which of course made me feel so very loved, and I had some bad news about my ankle, which wasn’t so pleasant. It seems that I have Fractured my heel, and torn a ligament that decided to take some bone with it, along with other injured ligaments as well. They have had to refer me to a Orthopedic Surgeon to see if I need surgery to re-attach the ligament, as well as to get it casted. The earliest appointment I could get was for Tuesday, so I am being taught the art of patience! By the time I see the Surgeon, it will be a 3 week old injury too, so it will be interesting to see what they can do with it etc. I am just hoping that it will heal nice and quickly and I can be back on my feet asap!
With all this going on, i have had very little energy to stamp, or even think about stamping, which is really sad. With taking time to rest, it has also allowed me to catch my breath a little, as life has been very busy of late. It has also given me time to reflect and meditate on the things that are important to me, and about the things that I realise are not so important etc…. I hope to make a few changes with my website soon, which I think will be a great step in the right direction, but more on that later! 
You will also notice there was no new challenge up on Friday. We have taken a weeks break, so that I can recover, and also prepare for the new Design Team member etc. It is always nice to have a break now and then and I am sure the DT have enjoyed it too. We still have lots in store, SO do be prepared for lots of upcoming fun this September!
I have now seen all the amazing creations for the fun Sketch challenge from this week, and wow there are some amazing creations as you will see in the Slide show. Once again it was hard to pick a winner, but I was really amazing by this creation from Susannah Iredale.
I just love this different colour combo, and how Susannah has used the crimper to dress up the strip, as well as all those gorgeous pearls! Fabulous creation Susannah!!!
For the Honourable Mention, I picked this card by the talented Shelley Starkis. I think this is so very clever, and love the simplistic look Shelley created. I am sure it was work, but don’t those works in the circle work beautifully as well! So very elegant.
So here is the Slide show, enjoy!
I promise to be back with more Incentive Trip news asap, as well as I am very much look forward to sharing with you some of the amazing birthday cards I recieved as well~
Have a great night,
All my love,
Keesh x
Makeesha - take care of that foot. I’ve done this several times…. don’t as how! But I can tell you from experience that you have to take this seriously and get it fixed, otherwise you will have problems with it for the rest of your life…. oh and even more when you get into your 50s! So, take care and get better soon. Thanks for continuing to update your blog when you can.

Morning Keesh, I was just crusing thru the slide show as I usually do when they are all up and I noticed my name attached to a card that I DID NOT DO!!! (unless by some weird twist of fate that there are 2 of us out there). Wld it be possible to check the records and see if this is true, cause there is someone out there not getting credit for their beautiful card out there. Thanks Lynda S (spelt Linda on the slide show) ooxx
Mornin’ Keeshie!!!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I sent you an email when I got your text on Saturday! Hope you got it!
I hope your still resting that foot up - and resting yourself too! It’s a good thing remember! lol
Talk to you soon
Luv Karen

Hi, Keesh,
Wonderful slide show in response to your great sketch for a challenge. I do hope that you are on the mend - and resting both your foot and yourself . Take care, Jo
Oh Keesh thank you soooo much I am glad that you like my colour combo to. I am still in shock I was thinking it would be great to get an Honerable mention but to win wow wow.
Thanks again and you take care and rest that foot as much as you can.
Susannah xo

Goodness me you don’t do ever things by halves do you? It sounds like Someone up there is giving you a big tap on the shoulder (via your ankle) to take it easy. Please listen!!
Look after yourself!
xoxo
Goodness! I second Marelle’s comment
Well I am bringing you a cyber cup of tea (Earl Grey ok?) and a huge hug with “heal fast” vibes! T.a.k.e…C.a.r.e!

Hey Keesh
Good luck for today, hope all is good news for you, you sure do need some.
Hope you are resting your foot up at the same time.
Cheers

Gosh Keesh, you poor thing - I really hope your foot heals quickly. It must be so frustrating for you to be sitting when you are usually running around at full speed. But please, rest properly and get better quickly.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.
xx Louise
