Good Monday Morning Ladies,
Here we are at the start of a new week, a quiet start to week in our house as the girls are at Becca's, it just feels odd not having them here, although it was nice not being told off because my phone was too loud at 10pm as I was browsing social media, funny how roles switch over the years 🤣😂
We got a good amount of garden jobs done yesterday, Paul did the lawns, I planted out beetroot and parsnips, did some pruning and tidying up of the veg beds, I wish the plants grew as well as the weeds!
Today's reminder is one close to me heart, I used to feel so alone in the days after my hip surgery, going from a busy mum of 4, out every day, I ran Mum & toddler groups on Mon & Friday, helped in school when girls were in nursery and going to other little groups with girls in afternoons, to being housebound and no longer able to drive. Paul's job meant his was away from home a lot too. I really struggled with loneliness, it was the very lowest point of my life. I thought I'd make a few Christmas cards to counteract boredom, it soon became a hobby, I found Sue's Blog, back then it was very small, she got picked up by Spellbinders and then really became popular, her blog grew incredibly and that's where I met most of you, I started my own blog so that we could all talk more. You ladies gave me back my life, this is why my Blog is so special to me. I would never want any of you to feel that lonely, ever. ❤️
(Sorry that got a bit deep)
Today I am sharing a card that I made on Friday using the Daisy Art collection by Stamperia, a simple design but I quite like how it turned out.
I hope that you all have a great start to your week,
Love & hugs to all of you,

Good morning all, a bit dull this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love your journal page, I think all the separate little elements are the making of the page, I never know where to stop.
Today’s reminder is true , especially of this blog, must admit I don’t feel lonely, your blog is so important to me, it gives me the post I need to craft.
Ironing today , after that a bit of sewing.
Have a good day, whatever you have planned.
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI love your card today, the Daisy Art collection is so beautiful isn’t it 😍
Love the daily reminder. I went through a stage of feeling alone a while back, and got myself in a bad way. I thought I’d never come out of that dark place. With the love and help of my family and you all - and an ongoing prescription of anti depressants, I can now say I’m in a much better place 😊 Your blog has kept me going too and I found my love of crafting again which I am so thankful to you for 😘❤️
Brenda, I’m so sorry to hear about your fall in the garden yesterday. It must’ve been very frightening for you. I do hope you’re ok. Take it easy xx
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
