Sunny Sunday

Hi All,

It was my birthday on Friday 20th June, I was lucky enough to have received some lovely cards.

Several from the Dorset Stampers club I belong to.
Gorgeous ones from the addicted Ladies that I stamp with on a Thursday
More from some internet card groups that I belong to.

I will be uploading them when I take them down on Tuesday.

It was weird not getting a card signed by my mum, but I guess that will always be hard no matter how much time passes eh....
Still life goes on and I guess you pretty much just have to deal with it.....

I have made a few cards this past week which I will show next week too.

Then I hope to get back into the swing of things

Bye for now

Time goes by....

Wow, where has the time gone since my last blog entry....answer....I dont know......mind in a whirl.....
The funeral went by as good as they do.....you know....great to see all the family but not in those circumstances :(

I have good days and bad days.....infact good mornings then bad afternoons etc......I know things WILL get better but I also know that it will take time and I am not rushing things at all.....

I have great friends that help, and I am trying to get back into things that I enjoyed as I know mum wouldnt have wanted me to give up things that I loved ...she loved receiving my cards...

I have bought myself a new book and I have promised myself that I will try to read some of it each day as I am able.....

I need to sort my room out because things have been dumped there from the last 8 weeks whilst I was going back and fore to wales...so it needs a tidy before I can create again.....

On a more positive note I had an email from an old friend that I used to swap with years ago in the stamping community....we both have birthdays this month so we were *twinned* for ages and then carried on....then somehow we lost touch but she emailed me again.....yippee.....she is called NORMA and she has a blog where she creates original and unique pieces of altered art....her name is in my blog list so go on click and see what she has been up to.......

Bye for now
Hugs
Janette
