Hello Wyggers everywhere... Oh I missed you all last week, as I did not manage to blog at all, and never found time to do much... the morning/evening carer has been off for 2 weeks -
well almost, but not yet - for Eid... and all hell has been let loose chez moi!!! OMG... some carers seem not to have any sense and are not worth the name!!! (
I should have said that there have been replacements ... a DIFFERENT one every time!!! Late, rude, no English, incompetent, you name it, we've had it!! Very wearing...)
Suffice it to say that things have not gone smoothly here for a while and I feel let down... I let the office have it with both barrels this morning after the ministrations of one particularly rubbish visit!!! Would not be so bad if they actually came on time, or thereabouts!!! -
enough, already, don't bore the pants off your readers mrs. woman...
So I have been working on the cruise album a little and have started another for the coming holiday - nothing like being prepared!!
and is she prepared?? NO!! not a single thought about clothes or anything, but she is doing an album!!! mad -
to Turkey over my birthday time, as usual... Anyhoo, here is what I have made -
hurrah, we thought you would NEVER get to business!!!
So this is the thought behind my title... it's a TIO DT piece for today, Wednesday, for the recipe "It's Art for Art's Sake" using a homemade background, interesting character(s) and a quirky twist. And the character looks JUST like I feel!!! -
poor soul...
I used a TH stamp for the background, along with a quirky stamp from a set which includes the eye, hand, and body of my character... naughty girl is showing herself here, in this bottom corner!!
This head is a Lynne Parrella creation... lovin her stamps, they are SO outlandish but so neat!!! Watch the birdie land on her head from the tag hole... swoop!!
So me, juggling and failing... hands -we notice that there are 2 left ones!!! - not succeeding in keeping control... head trying the recede into a shell -
oh shut up Gaywood, you are getting silly now!!!
Anyway, I really enjoyed creating it, silly and fun, and odd as it is, mostly with all TH new colours... and it does sort of sum up how I feel just now... oh well, this too shall pass. If you are STILL in the dark about WOYWW, pop over and look-see at
Stamping Ground with the lovely Julia and the rest of the world at your feet... well, at the end of you fingertips, at least!!!
Love and Light
Frankie

PS -
opps, she went and forgot the desk shot completely!!! typical... laters, maybe!! silly moo...

Loving your brilliant quirky tag. Sorry to hear things are not good. Hope it all gets sorted soon and you can have a bit of a break. Hugs Annette x
Sounds like you have had a really lousy time. But, you tell the story with a funny twist. Love your tag. #25
Loving the tag it is amazing! Thank you soooo much for my snoop! Have a lovely crafty week Happy WOYWW!! ((Lyn)) number 18
I am glad you were able to make this fun and arty tag...sounds like you have had a rough couple of weeks. That is such a drag...my Mum is elderly and needs help and I find it amazing how some people go into that carer field and have zero empathy or common sense!
Wow. I'm blow away by all the detail in your tag. One of the photos really shows the embossing really neat.
Happy WOYWW

Thanks for sharing!

Two weeks and they couldn't find a replacement????? You must be shattered... Love your tag, it is great. I think I didn't interpret your theme so well.... you'll see later!
Hope you get time to pack for your holiday soon...before you go anyway! Helen 19

It is hard having to deal with shoddy caregivers. I used to work home health and I was always checking up on the caregivers cause no one was making sure they were doing their job so I took it on. It is a crappy job for low pay (the business giving the assignment gets the big money the workers don't) and they know if they don't give it a 100% they can have another job before dark. Not a comforting thought I know. Love your tag project. Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #68
Glad to see you have still been so wonderfully creative despite all the stress - I keep looking at the Lyn Perella stamps but don't know what to do with them ! I think Art for Art,s sake does sum up her creations ! Love what you have done with them ! Ali #54
Gosh, life can be so tough caring for our elders.Feel angry for you over lack of care by some of those so-called "Carers". Most I have found are nice, and skillful.I wonder how such lovely people work for so little thanks (or money).
Like your unique Collage!

Sounds like you really had a terrible time. You did make me smile though, always better if you maintain a sense of humour through it all I say.
LOVE the new album, who needs clothes anyway? The album is way more important.
Happy WOYWW!

Sounds like you've had a nightmare time. Thank goodness for future hols plans. Love the way you have put these stamps to good use. Hugs, Buttons #81
Absolutely stunning hunni!As carers go i've been there and fully understand the frustration that goes with it.as you say some so rude,dont turn up when surpose to and when they do can't speak english and just look like they just havent got aclue what to do!My dad got so annoyed told them were to go in the end.Told social services what he thought !
hope things improve have a stress free week if possible

I hope you manage to get sorted soon. Your tag seems to be managing to think of many things whilst doing many things. I hope you manage it to. WOYWW Hugs to you from Helen 15
Very quirky!! Love it!! Great background.
Never mind about the desk, tag looks great. Francesca #99
Now you have got it off your chest do you feel better? I would, I love your quirky post it has made me smile and laugh, thank you and that tag is just awesome and manic too.
Happy crafting,
Eliza #24
So sorry you hAd a bad time hope things will get better for you. I do love your tag though. The figure you created is awesome and i love the bg
Can I come, please?????? Fab tag Honey, chin up and think sunshine thoughts. Love Elizabeth xxx
Sorry that you are having all of that trouble, but at least you are managing some creative time. dani137
This too will pass ... that's my mantra too when things are going badly. I'm so sorry to read that things are going badly for you - you really need that holiday, by the sound of it and making the album must make it seem closer too and making the tag looks like therapy. Hope your day has gone better and your week improves. Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #105
Deliciously quirky and humorous piece when I'm sure you were feeling anything but good-humoured with all those problems with the carers. Good for you, and happy WOYWW!
