managed to grab time to add a couple of little cards ... made these for my mother-in-law to give to her great grandchildren

I am hosting the blog hop over on do-crafts whilst Karen is on her jollydays

hope you all have a great weekend ... I am still visiting my poor Mum every day in the care home ... don't know how long she is going to be in there but she is being well cared for

a couple of little cards

hi my lovely friends ... so sorry I have not posted for a while but as you know my poor Mum has had a nasty fall and has now been moved from hospital to a rest home so that she can get her feet back ... she is still very dizzy and not really safe to go home on her own yet ... hope it wont be too long ... when the community nurse said that they had found a little flat for Mum she said " oh that's very kind of you but I already have a little flat and don't really need another one" ... bless her

anyway here are a couple of little cards I have made a while back but have not uploaded yet ... I am hosting the blog hop on do-crafts for the next three Fridays so thought I had better find some cards ... hope you can join in ...

hope you all have a great weekend ...

wow a few little problems to start the week off ... just what we all like lol

my poor dear Mum had a fall at home on Monday and knocked her self out ... don't know why or how ... but we had to call 999 ... paramedics arrived and admitted her to hospital ... after spending 3 hours in hospital corridors waiting for tests and Doctors inspection she was admitted to the obs ward ...  she has had lots more tests all negative thank goodness ... but is now due to have an MRI scan tomorrow ... she cant stand or walk ... very shaky and dizzy ... I am hoping it is just her age ... she is 83 and does not usually fall about ... soooooo ... please keep your fingers crossed for her ... I think it is time for my sister and myself to be looking around for a safer place for her to live ... eg like mother in law who is in a warden controlled McCarthy & Stone ... think we may have a bit of a battle with Mum ... wish us luck please ...

oh and on to the cards ... Mums get well card and a little card for her dear friend Mavis who went to her aid ... Mum could actually remember her phone number when she "came round" after her black out ...

hope you are all having a better week ... thanks for stopping by xx

get well soon Mum

hello friends ... hope you had a great weekend ...

I managed to make a card even tho we had the grandchildren all day on Saturday and we had a lot of furniture moving coz we had a new carpet laid in the lounge today ... oooo looks lovely ... all sorted ... even dusted out my china/crystal glass cabinet

anyway the card is for my dear Mums caretaker ... he has been in hospital having a knee op ... not sure what it is he has had done but Mum wanted a little card to say "welcome back"

I used one of Angie's lovely drawings and think it really does the trick ...
