AWWW WONDERFUL I LOVE THE ANGEL BEARS.....

My family have just found out our Auntie Sheila has cancer.

Sheila Deacon is a wonderful lady... She lives on the Isle of Wight UK...

ive just been sent this by my aunty Jennie.
Sheila on the left Jennie on the right..

She is full of spirit... She even re-married a few years ago 'to a toy boy half her age'... Shes an absolute rage...ALWAYS BUSY ... AND LOVES CRAFTING...

The last three years have been so awful to her...

Three years ago she had breast cancer but she beat it...

last year Garry her son our cousin was found deceased at home he wwas only in his thirties...

And last week she fell and broke her hip bone , sadly they hve found cance r inside the bone but are doing futher tests. She has now been rushed into hospital for chemotherpay.    

SHE HAS SO MUCH TRAGEDY SUROUNDING HER  THESE LAST THREE YEARS 

WE ARE NOW AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO AND SAY...

COULD I ASK EVERYONE TO PRAY FOR SHEILA...I BELIEVE GOOD THOUGHTS ALWAYS HELP...

I FOUND THIS VERSE BELOW ON THE INTERNET LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION TODAY..
IT MADE ME REALLY THINK I DO SO MANY OF THESE REALLY SILLY THINGS...I BET YOU ALL DO TOO...

If I Had My Life To Live Over
by Erma Bombeck

(Written after she found out she had cancer.)

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television-and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's"

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it ... live it ... and never give it back.

Stop sweating the small stuff.

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

PLEASE PRAY FOR HER  ....

Animals suffer to much...ESPECIALLY BEARS...

IT IS WRONG FOR PEOPLE TO SELL  BEARS TO MAKE MONEY EXPLOTING THE IDEA OF VIVISECTION ...

BUT THEY PROBABLY HAV'ENT EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THAT FACT.... THEY ARE JUST MAKING THE BEARS AS  SHOCKING AND CRUDE AS THEY CAN TO SELL AS GOTHIC FASHION  ACCESSORY ITEMS????

And they have now got the horrors on buy it now.
IVE JUST READ THE DISTURBING TEXT TO GO WITH THE LISTINGS????? :wacko:

'he is very durable and can take a lot of punishment(as long as your willing to risk being punished back.)'

ME THINKS ITS A BIT SICK....

THEY'LL BE SELLING THEM WITH THEIR OWN SPELLS NEXT ARRGH...

SHARI YEAH , HELLO AGAIN...

YOUR BEARS ARE SO LOVELY 

I LOVED ORY PRIOR TO HIS FACE LIFT

AND I LOVE ORY SO MUCH NOW TOO

I WOULD BUY HIM IF I HAD ANY SPARE MONEY .... HE IS SOOOOO ADORABLE....

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO BOTH FACE STYLES  THEY ARE BOTH EXCELLENT ...

AND YOU DO YOU HAVE A LOVELY STYLE ALL OF YOUR OWN... JUST ADMIRE YOU AVATAR...GORGEOUS

EBAY IS RUBBISH AT THE MOMENT...  TOO MANY BEARS ARE LISTED FOR RIDICULOUSLY TOO CHEAP PRICES... THEY MUST BE MAD...    ITS RUINS THE MARKET FOR EVERYONE...

ANY ONE IS LUCKY TO SELL AT A GOOD PRICE... IT WILL PICK UP AGAIN... IN A FEW WEEKS...

ME THINKS ...SAVE ALL OUR BEARS UP... FOR CRAFT SHOWS... OR WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS...

IT IS NOT YOUR STYLE THATS THE PROBLEM :hug:

:crackup: GIVE ME A BEAR ANY DAY :crackup:

Melanie i just caught you r message as id posted.

DONT WE GET IN A MESS... 
I TIDY UP AT NIGHT BUT SAME TIME NEXT DAY ....IM BURIED AGAIN...
MY HUBBY JUST SCOWLS AT ME....HE SAYS IM LIKE A HAMSTER.... :crackup:

Think im going for the LOTS OF little boxes labelled Melanie... With your IDEA for one big one for the current project...with a lid

Im so sick of big plastic bags...I CANT FIND ANYTHING ..

I know we all go on about having lots and lots of bear making stuff.

But ive now got bags full of things, INSIDE OTHER BAGS OF THINGS

IM SURE I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE ....

Could all the seasoned makers out there help ..

WITH SOME GOOD CHEAP IDEAS FOR STORAGE...

PICTURES MAY HELP... AND MAKE THINGS INTERESTING

IM SLOWLY BEING BURIED ALIVE IN MY LITTLE CORNER...:crackup:

IM A MEMBER OF ALLERGY CLUB TOO..

My hayfever was unbearable as a teenager, running eyes and nose it looked like i was constantly crying...

Unfortunately my son is now developing it too... he is suffering from the tree pollen at the moment...

I found out as an adult i was allergic to dust mite but only after having tests because id become so ill to the point of exhaustion.

I had a long course of injections  of the dust mites to help me gain resistance to them, it worked, and now it hardly bothers me unless im spring cleaning things like dusty curtains etc.

I still suffer from exzema but only mildly now thank god , but both my poor children do Jay has to be  be totally creamed with lotion every few days as his skin is very dry from it.

The worst thing i suffer with now is an allergy to the sun... and this is getting worse... im fine for about two days.. then i get a small rash like prickly heat... maily on my chest... then it starts to spread.. it get worse and worse until the spots turn into watery blisters like cold sores.   Its horrible horrible horrible.... DOES ANYONE ELSE SUFFER WITH THIS... AND WHATS BEST TO TREAT IT...

I sympathize with everyone here it can make life really unbearable...

that is brilliant!!!!!

Oh yes im a very mean mum...

I WISH MY SISTER COULD READ THIS...

Not having a family or children of her own, she still holds grudge, and still cant understand where mum came from...

THEY STILL DONT SPEAK NOW...

I relate to all of it, but the only thing ive changed is that, i make sure i sit my children down and discuss and explain why i do and say everything i do....

I always wait until anger has subsided and then...

I tell them i love them loads...

Glad your feeling better Brenda...
Its soo great to get done things that are niggling away at us.
Its  gives such a boost to our mental wellbeing
WELL DONE ... AND KEEP GOING....
