Love Tinkerbell - posted on the cafe thread in more detail about that though.

Love the decopatched frames too. I would have been tempted to sand them a little and paint them a contrasting colour then wire brush them for the shabby chic look, but they look really good as they are, plus I suppose it depends on what the person likes that you are giving them to

Chemo went REALLY well, didn't take half as long as last time, plus I had my dressing changed which took half an hour but she repositioned my line, so instead of it draping downwards towards my hand it now lays across my arm, so whether that had anything to do with the poison going through quicker I dodn't know, and the first flush went through in 30 mins, the second in 20 mins or so, and not the hour it took last time! Even both the chemo meds went through a lot quicker, and I was done and home by 3.15pm!

Will update everyone later as I'm going back to bed for a bit

Great news and hope you have a good weekend with lots of rest
