What a day I had yesterday, one of my sisters phoned about lunchtime to say Mum had taken a funny turn in the hairdressers and was being taken to hospital - all the symptoms of a stroke! So after an anxious wait for another call later in the afternoon I set off for Northumberland and went down to the hospital with my youngest sister only to arrive as visiting ended! Luckily they let us in and we were able to spend an hour or so with her so by the time I got back home it was after 10pm.
Turns out she's had some sort of mini stroke, she's getting out this afternoon and I'm just waiting for a call from my brother to say they've left the hospital and I'll go down home to meet them and Mum's coming back here with me for a few days, so I've spent this morning getting the bedroom ready for her and doing some general tidying up so she doesn't think I'm a real sloven lol
Anyway onto cards, here's one I made earlier:
Masked off a square and inked with TM distress ink, stamps from Words with Honey. I've had a few cards to send abroad lately so finding it handy to have a stock of OL cards ready.
