This week's Compendium challenge is "perfect distress" and I don't think I've tried this one before.
This week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Us - your favourite Tim stamp - meant an ideal opportunity to combine the two.
This is the bit you can skip if you like!
I had some trouble seeing to do this because I had to go back to the hospital today to see someone about my eye again (as I was told to on Saturday) and the drops they gave me haven't worn off yet, so everything still looks a little fuzzy even if it's not meant to!
They have worked out that something is blocking the blood supply to my eye, hence the blurring/lack of vision but don't know why - so tomorrow I have to go back to the hospital I went to onSaturday, for scans and tests to try and find out why! I was at Sutton hospital all day - got there at 9 - interrupted by a fire alarm meaning we all stood outside in the rain for 20 odd minutes (felt like hours) in and out of consulting rooms blah blah blah. Got home at 4.... Am warned tomorrow will be an all day-er too. (Nearly got sent today to stay overnight, so I suppose I am lucky!) Apparently this is to rule things out and meant to be precautionary and I am "not to worry"....... yeh, right! Also, when checking my heart (something to do with listening for the blood supply to the eye) they found I have a slight heart murmur and did I know. Errrr that's a no then!!
Ah well, thanks (if you are still with me) for listening me unburden myself. Will let you know how I get on - I hope!

I'm still with you H; good grief gal, of course you're TRYING not to worry - easy for them to say!! Am truly glad there's a thoroughness about the process, that's reassuring. Take a big lunch box and your phone so you can tweet. Let us know as soon as you get home, huh. Meanwhile, am loving your craft - even one eyed you're good!
Great tag! The Santa to the right makes it all 3D... Beautiful!
bloody 'ell H... what are you up to!!! Oh, the infamous 'try not to worry' talk... easy for them to say when they are not on the patient side of that phrase! Hmmm... I'm thinking of you my blogging friend and hope you get some answers soon...
one eye or no eyes - you'll always be a better stamper than me, even if i had eight LOL
I can appreciate your anxiety - just talk to us about it if it helps.
sending you some supportive hugs

Helen am so sorry that you are going through this. Went through similar procedures with my mum and of course she was worried as well, but they have got her sorted and she is fine now. Great tag and love your Tim stamps. Take care, Annette x
Oh No! Good luck tomorrow! I hate hospitals, so I can imagine how nervous you can be. (I wouldn't be too upset with the murmur, apparently I've had once my whole life..ah well...)
I love your tag, and that color is one of my new fav's as well!
Wishing you good news! Take care
Lovely tag btw

Lovely tag, even though you had trouble seeing it, lol. Try not to worry, as if, hope everything goes well tomorrow. xx
Great tag! it will look great on a card.
Hope it is good news tomorrow Helen, fingers crossed. Amazes me how they say don't worry, we all worry, it's natural. Least they are being thorough which is a good thing. Take care, Tracy Evans x
Yikes Helen, this all happened pretty fast. I've been a tad busy of late and have neglected my blog hopping and look what you got up to whilst I was away!!!! I know St George's really well as my parents still live in Tooting so I'll be thinking of you tomorrow....I'll have everything crossed for you and I so hope they can sort it out quickly.....waiting is the worst part isn't it?
Take crae, Lin x

Your tag looks fab Helen! Hope all went well at the hospital!

Hope they figure the eye issue out :) Despite that, your tag came out really well. I like the combo of words and images.
Sorry to hear about your eye problems....hope it get's better soon!
Wonderful tag you created under the circumstances!!
thanks bunches for playin' along with the Design Teamies and Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog!!!
Helen, this is a really gorgeous tag, and I love how misty and dreamy that rockstar heart image turned out! I'm with you-- Wild Honey is truly one of the prettiest colors in the entire Distress Ink collection, and it worked so beautifully for this technique and imagery you used.
I'm really sorry you had such a lousy week.Isn't medical stuff just the WORST? All that waiting and wondering. But I'm so happy your MRI was clear, and now that you've had a few days to catch your breath, I hope you're feeling much better about it all. Hang in there, sweet lady. They'll get this figured out and you'll be good as new!
