Hi Everyone
Surprise, surprise .. .. yet another Christmas card offering.
Crafting sessions seem very rare at the moment, so when they do arise I tend to concentrate on festive makes, and I was so happy with the finished result from my tiny craft session yesterday that I have prepped ready for making another five identical cards.
My inspiration was the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is "just add antlers".
This used:
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Backing Paper - The Works (from one of last years design pads)
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
My Trusty Sewing Machine
and that is me for today.
Many thanks for all your well wishes for Mum .. .. .. she is still needing lots of help and that will only get worse .. .. .. hence the huge reduction in crafty time. Crafting will always be there though but my Mum won't, so I have to make the most of what time I have left with her and give her whatever help and support I can.
Dementia has a lot to answer for and certainly requires a lot of patience and understanding .. .. thank goodness I was blessed with an abundance of both! But the good thing is Mum doesn't think there is anything wrong with her. Bless .. .. if only that could be true.
You really do manage to find some charming images and this is no exception - love it. Wonderful that you have an abundance of patience and understanding to care for your Mum so well. Hugs x

ReplyDeleteAwww Jules, a lovely image and I totally get the comment about spending the time with your mum as mine was in the same situation- sadly I lived too far away from her to be of much help.
