Bet you thought I wasn't coming back! It's been ages I know...and I've been having a lovely time holidaying and enjoying the festivities of Christmas and New Year. I hope you and your families have enjoyed this time also.
My physio suggested I get back into my crafting hobby to help my wrist along and so I've spent a little bit of time lately (not a lot, don't want to overdo it lol) playing. This card is for a friend who has her birthday in the early weeks of January and I'm quite confident she doesn't look at my blog so I'm sharing here before I post it off.
One of my grandmother's passed away on the first day of the new year. Although sad, it's a blessing as she has suffered dementia the past couple of years and her quality of life was greatly reduced. I like to think she's in a better place now. I'll be heading off to New Zealand this weekend for a few days to attend her funeral.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy new year Patrice, your card is beautiful, I am glad your hand is a little better, love the dr's therapy he he he, on another note am sorry about your grandmother, though a blessing for her it still hurts - a big hug for you! Have a great time in New Zealand too xx
