My good deed for the day

Hi All
Not much crafting over the last couple of days I'm afraid as I have been staying with my lovely Mum so that I could accompany her to the hospital for a pain killing injection into her neck. OUCH!!

This is the second time that she has had it done, and although I have absolutely no desire to see my Mum in pain I did hope that the injection hurt this time.
Before you think I am totally cruel and heartless let me explain.
Last time she had the procedure it didn't hurt at all going in, and it also didn't give her any relief either.
I have spoken to several people who have had this kind of treatment, and they all say that the more painful the injection is to have, the better the effects on the pain afterwards, so I am hoping that it is very painful, but with the nicest possible motives.
It is a good job that Mum and I get on very well and that she completely understands otherwise she might thank that I was being horrible to her. Definitely not daughter of the year material lol.

This photo was taken the last time Mum came for the day.
Saskia and Ciaran are always up for a photo session, although I think that Mum was less keen. I don't know about you, but I hate having my photograph taken.

A very Special Day

Evening Everyone
Hasn't today been bright and sunny.
My Mum tells me that it was just as lovely 63 years ago when she and my Dad got married,
Even though my Dad passed away nearly 12 years ago I still like to let Mum know that I am thinking of her on her special day.

This is the card that I sent her. I made it using some bits created when I was playing with my Distress Markers and a Hero Arts stamp set.

Of course as I mentioned before this is also a very special day for a lovely young lady who was born on my parents Golden Wedding anniversary.

Here she is with her little sister.
I hope that both my Mum and Megan had a suitably special day.
Big hugs to both.

Welcome to your wonderful New Home

Evening Everyone
I can't believe that it is Friday again already, where is the time going to?
I've been doing a little more upcycling.

This  card was made for a previous Easter challenge, but as I don't really 'do' Easter I have changed the sentiment on it and turned it into a New Home card for my wonderful Mum.
She finally moved into her new bungalow over the Easter weekend, so the card really is appropriate.
We also used to keep chickens many years ago at her old house so there is a hint of the past to the card as well.
I hope that Mum will see the reference to our old home and smile.

The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley clear set For You Circular Sentiments, it replaced Happy Easter.

Mum won't be short of company in her new home as she has three little companions.

They look very peaceful here but I can assure you they are not always this quiet.
Mum found their tabby sleeping companion in a Charity shop and said that she just had to give it a home.
I went to visit Mum this evening with my Daughter Becki and my Granddaughter Megan. We took her a little  parcel of kitchen staples and a box of M & S flapjacks.
This is a bit of an in joke since my Mum makes the most fabulous flapjacks and now she finally has her new Aga, and a kitchen, we will all be eagerly awaiting the first batch bake.
Sorry Mr Marks nothing beats my Mums flapjacks although yours do come in a close second lol.
My turn for a catnap, or more precisely a decent nights sleep.
