Hello Again....

Hi all...well I'm back...yes its been a while...just had to take some time out as looking after my Mum had taken its toll and although I tried very hard I finally realised I cant do it without any help...so I have spent the past month getting a daily carer sorted out and some respite for me. Mum is away in a nursing home at the moment...she is only there for two weeks but that will give me some 'me time' and some rest. Then I will have daily help with her in the mornings and then someone will come for an afternoon to keep an eye on her so I can go shopping or 'do lunch'..lol...my sister is going to help a bit more too.



Well when I say some rest..since she has been away I have decorated my bedroom... moved my craft space around!!..I changed my stash storage and finally bought myself a proper daylight lamp...Mr Mojo has been on walkabout since christmas...but I think I was just tired...I have been doing some crocheting though..its something I can sit and do while being with mum...I have made a cushion and now I messing about with some little hearts I will take some pics when a get a moment.



We had a lot of snow overnight here and it looks like my trip out to sunday lunch isnt going to happen...never mind the snow is a perfect excuse to get a bit crafty and this morning I have finally made a card...Whooo Hooo!!
I was very spoilt at christmas and I have loads of new dies and DP's to use and I cant wait...lol...I hope to have some more cards to share with you in the week.



Before I go...the lovely girls over at Lovely hAnglar Only have invited me to join their new Design Team...I am totally thrilled to be asked... The Lovely hAnglar Only Challenge is to be relaunched shortly and we are currently having a DT call...so if you just love your hAnglar's and would like to be considered for the DT then do pop over and let us know.



Keep snug and warm....
Hugs
Jan...xx

    Hey hun, good to see you back - caring for a loved one can be the most rewarding but the most exhausting thing ever, emotionally and physically. I'm glad you are going to be getting some help now. Gorgeous card - love the fresh flower colours and the oh so cute image, it's brilliant. And congrats on the Hanglar appointment, I'll be joining in a few challenges but I don't have that many stamps (sob). Take care my friend, Hugs Sxx

    Nice to see you back Jan, i have missed seeing your creations :o) I'm glad you have been able to get some help with your mum - it is essential, you just can't take it all yourself, however much you think you should or want to. We learnt that with Paul's dad. Enjoy your respite time and i send love, Kate x

    p.s. gorgeous card, as ever :o)

    Hi Jan!
    I'm sorry to hear about your situation with your poor mum. It is always so hard being a carer and also hard asking for help. It will do you both good now you will get extra help.
    This card is so cute! Love the colours xxxx
