Blue and White

Thank you for your lovely messages on my last post.

This is one of my quick cards and using my favourite colours.



I made the Poinsettia with a card pack I bought in Hobbycraft. 
It's got a glitter effect and die cuts beautifully. 
I must admit I bought a pack of all the colours I liked!!
Well you just have too!!

I have also been putting some more of my makes
onto the Marketplace on Facebook.
They are also on 3 other groups sites.
I am trying to get some money for the 2 Charity
Care Homes I support. I do so miss the Craft Fairs.

I am on a roll of getting all my Christmas cards made.
Just over 40 of them and 4 birthday cards too. 

I hope to get them finished in a couple of days. 
Stay safe and well.

Big hugs,
Carol

Christmas Soon - Really!!!

I have finally  found a bit of time to actually do a post!!

First, I must welcome Di as a new follower. Hope you 
will enjoy what you see on my little blog.

I have been making Christmas cards to take to the Care Home
I fund raise for. I have so far made 42 but a few more to make yet!!

This is the one I have just finished.
It looks a bit bluer than it is!! The card is actually white
but the light was very poor this afternoon when I finished it.


We have had a very stressful and sad few weeks. 
My eldest sister has Alzheimer's and for her safety,
it was time for her to be looked after in a Care Home.

It was very hard for my other sister, who has helped and 
cared for her, for a long time now. 
She has been so kind to her and has to drive for 
around an hour, to get to her. 

It was very difficult to find a home but one was eventually 
found. The best thing was,, it was in walking distance 
from where my sister lives.
So she will be able to see her more often. and no more long drive. 
Enough to say, that it turned out to be a hell of a trip 
for my carer sister, to drive her to the home!!
I just wished I could have been there to help her. 
As I live over 200 miles away from there and 
the problem with the Covid-19, we wouldn't be able to.

We are sure she will settle in soon.
Alzheimer's is such a horrible illness and our mother had it too.

Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog and I 
appreciate all the lovely messages you leave me.
Stay safe and well.
Big hugs,
Carol
