Mother's Day

Hi there
how are you doing?
It's a stressful time, so do reach out for help if you need it.
People are only too happy to do something to help.
It's very sad for some people, so do know that we're thinking of you.

Mother's Day was a bit different this year, to say the least!
We've always tried to have lunch with both sets of parents,
but my mum is on her own now, and her and Alan's parents are self isolating.
(which used to be known simply as staying at home!)
So lunch was cancelled, but they still had cards!


This Bonnet/Hat Easel card was courtesy of my friend Jan Twinks,
who has lovely classes in Hastings.
We were all amazed we managed this one, as it looked so complicated!


However, she took us step by step and we all ended up pleased as punch with our efforts!


The lovely paper was enhanced by the gems, flower and ribbon.
This one was for Alan's mum, hand delivered, as they live very near.

I had to change the plan for my mum's card, as it had to go in the post.
I hope you'll come back tomorrow to see that one.

Take care of yourself
Lesley

  1. Super card and of course your choice of papers gets the thumbs up from me. Stay safe and well in these worrying times. We are self isolating as 70+ but trying to get a home delivery slot is just a joke right now. Hugs Mrs A.
