Wednesday Stamper - Inchies

Well I kind of knew after the moo cards that it wouldn't be long before the Wednesday Stamper challenge would feature these tiny guys!! Well I am amazed how hard they are! My very first two were done simply gold embossing leaves onto script paper. Then I got bolder & tried cutting sections from my stamp & colouring with brushmarkers.I think they could be very addictive & fancy making a few more. Hopefully when I have sorted myself some new stamps small & suitable for the job. My printer is low on ink so I couldn't even print off some vintage images to add to them.
I'm late home having had to rush around between Nurse & chemist & re booking another appointment for the nurse next week. These damn cysts continue to ruin my life. Then, flying to the post office with a recorded delivery parcel in the hope it gets there before the next round of strikes. Honestly, I have no patience, some people never know when they are well off! They could always come & work where I do. Crap wages while you slog your guts out. Precious little thanks & a queue to take your holiday entitlement...yes ladies, sorry I am very pi**ed off today!!!!!

Meanwhile I am struggling on with my cold & trying to come up with something for the Arty Girlz challenge, Glueless.
I have been tagged about 5 times now by various really lovely people, (thank you for thinking of me guys!) with a tag about 7 facts about me. I have actually done this tag twice already but here goes, what the hell!!
1) I'm not half as scared of spiders as I used to be.
2) As a kid I was desperate to be on Jim 'll fix it!
3) I no longer have A favourite colour, I love them all.
4) This time of year I have a passion for mash & rich bisto gravy, made with the powder.
5) I used to be mad about Cross Stitch but RSI stopped me doing it often.
6) I would give anything to have grown up in a proper, normal family.That adage You can pick your friends' is oh so true!
7) I hope this time next year I am a lot happier & my main health worries are over.
Im certain this tag has well & truly done the rounds but feel free to consider yourself tagged should you read this.

So each card is only an inch? Very cute and detailed...wow!
I read your post and I hope you truly have a better day tomorrow. It's better to get what ever is bothering you off your "chest". You feel so much better afterwards. The seven tid-bits about you are very interesting also!
