Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all in the UK.
May your day be filled with love and happiness.


My day, so far, has been wonderful - breakfast in bed (that's twice this week that, that has happened :D) - the guys all bought me a bunch of flowers - which means, when combined with the flowers we received for our anniversary, the house looks like a florist shop - but I'm not complaining - I love fresh cut flowers in the house.
We had planned on popping out for lunch, but changed our minds and have spent the day pottering - tonight we plan to watch one of my Mothers Day gifts - Made in Dagenham - Ive heard its a good movie - but the guys will probably be bored senseless as it doesn't involve fast car chases!!

The guys also bought me a set of Liquitex acrylic inks - and as its my friends birthday tomorrow I couldn't resist having a little play - I made her this


Whilst at my crop yesterday, Hubs called by and dropped this off


it was a belated wedding anniversary gift and I love it - I'm certainly feeling very spoilt at the moment.

My only regret about today, is that I wasn't able to spend it with my Mom - Hubs is back to the hospital tomorrow - his leg is acting up a bit - which is a good sign - we were told that if he suddenly got a crushing feeling in his foot that it meant the plates were ready to come out - we are feeling so hopeful that tomorrow the surgeon gives the green light for the next round of surgeries and that he can lose the chunks of metal - its just over 6 months since his accident - which means we are on the homeward stretch to him getting back to normal - his pain levels have been really tested over the past few days and he just wasn't feeling up to being in the car for the 3hr journey "home" - I'm just glad my Mom is the understanding kind.
I heard this morning that my Mom and Sisters loved the rocks I made them - and they loved the way I'd wrapped their gifts - which was nice to hear because it was a bit of a mess up!


With my head elsewhere, I'd forgotten to buy tags for their gifts - its a good job I craft because I was able to knock up a few tags in less time than it would have taken me to drive to the store to go and buy them!

I'll leave you with a sneak of my layout for this weeks Pencil Lines sketch - which goes live at 8pm tonight - with the new DT making their debut appearance.


Have fun and thanks for dropping by.
