Football bears! - show us some sport at MAWT this week

Good morning all

Hope you're having a great week - I've had such a busy time this last week and yesterday I just got myself something else to take up lots of my time - though it will be great when it's all done!!

My youngest son Tom has severe physical disabilities and although he can speak and we have no problem understanding him at home, his speech can be slow and sometimes hard to understand especially in a large environment.  He has been waiting for a while now to get an "eyegaze" communication aid - this will help him hugely especially with his Uni work when he has to do presentations and generally speak out at uni.  - Well it finally arrived yesterday and we had a whole team come to set it up!  Bars to mount it on his power chair, another guy giving some basic training on how it works and a speech therapist - just because that's what speech therapists do!! - For those who haven't got a clue what I'm talking about  - think Dr Stephen Hawkins operating a speech aid with his eyes - that's what we're talking here!! - technology is a wonderful thing ....sometimes
There's a huge amount of work to do to set it up to his requirements and that 's mostly my job I think, but I used to  devise training programs for new computer sytems when I worked in staff training a few years ago- so I sort of know where to start - but I think it will keep me busy for a while - 
so if I'm missing for a while I'm on a computer - just not this one!!

But in the meantime .....Its a time for a new challenge over at

Moving Along with the Times 

and our theme this week is 

Show us some sport

I chose a cute little image from

I really enjoyed making this card -very straightforward and fairly CAS - it's a birthday card for my nephew - who is a total Newcastle United nut! - so of course it must be black and white. I cut the happy birthday die cut twice (once black and once white) and layered them to create a shadow
 -that's probably the most complicated part of the whole card
  I think its a bit of a - says what it is on the tin card lol
football - birthday - black and white
that's it - no more to say!!
