Happy Birthday Mum

Saturday 19 April 2008
It's my mum's birthday today and I wanted to make her a really special birthday card. I used my Keepsake Elegance and Fantasy board and got the idea from their project book.


The paper flowers are from Hobbycraft and they came with a self adhesive backing so I didn't have to sit there glueing them all night (I would have if I had to as she's worth it). I also made a box to present it in.

As some of you may already know, my mum has been suffering with a severe bout of depression for two months now. There have been times when we thought she was showing signs of improvement, but at the moment she is still very fragile. She is currently in the process of changing medication which is making her feel out of sorts. She popped round today for a change of scenery. When the time came for her to go home she got a bit teary. It's so hard to see her like this. She is a shadow of her former self at the moment. My dad is doing a wonderful job of looking after her and supporting her through all of this, especially when she is having a bad day and takes it out on him. I really hope the new tablets start to work soon and we'll start to see a change.

I hope everybody is having a good weekend in spite of the terrible weather.
