Sisters are a special breed
Always near when you're in need
There to help you when you're down
Or join you in a trip to town
Help you find a pair of shoes
Console you when you have the blues
Cheer you with a loving smile
Always go that extra mile
So I'm sending this to say
Dear Sissie, on your special day
Here's a card from me to you
To wish you well in all you do.
Have a Wonderful 60^th Birthday 

Loads of Love and hugs from

thank you for stopping by and hope you all have a great week ... and don't get tooooo wet lol

a few little cards ...

oh my goodness I have actually made some cards ... I seem to have got some time to myself today ... been down to Mums flat to do some sorting out but now back home and decided to get some "me" time

thank you for sticking by me my dear blogger friends here are a few I made earlier lol 

hope you are all having a great weekend ... off to do a bit of blog hopping ... wow how nice to be normal !! lol

Mums new home

well what a time we have had ...

this is why I have not been a very good blogger of late ...

Mum had a nasty fall in her flat and was rushed into hospital via 999 ... she was in hospital falling all over the place following a stroke which affected the Cerebellum at the back of her head which is the part that controls her balance and the Doctors said she was not safe to go home to her lovely flat ... so we (my sister and I) had to rush to find her a new home ... oooo it is so very hard ... I do hope she will settle in as at the moment she is asking to "go home" ... we will probably rent her lovely flat out which will help us with the care fees ... wow some of the homes we looked at were quoting £1000 per week ... disgusting !!

anyway thank you to you all for your lovely messages and kind wishes ... have scanned the brochure photos to show you ...

I visit most days but come away in tears ... she has become old overnight and it breaks my heart to see here there ... but I know it is for her safety
