Nearly there!!!!!

Hello, it seems ages since I posted!  Been spending a fair amount of time with my sister, lending a hand with her packing, sorting and being a shoulder for her over the break up with her ex.  But we are in the home straight now as she moves this friday.  Its been very hard for her, especially as Millie (3) & Max (5months) have picked up on the stresses involved, not helped by their Dad who is being an idiot!!! :(  Anyway, I have made her a New Home card and wanted it to be one that Millie could relate to & hopefully see it as a positive move. 


I had such a lot of girly fun with this one haha!  The castle is every little girls dream isn't it?  This one is by PaperArtsy & the van is by Google haha!  The circles are watercolour crayons, had fun with those too!  I enjoyed this so much that I made a journal page to match...



Its titled 'Coming to the Hill' because we live right on the edge of the moors, whereas she is moving from the coast.  We have always joked about the drop in temperature etc hahaha!  I shall be journalling in the bottom half after the move.

Thank you for taking a looksee today, hopefully things will return to normal soon :-D, HUGS XXX

Good luck with Friday I hope the sun shines for you.

Karen, so sorry to hear about your sister's sadness. I can fully understand how you feel about this for her as my sister is going through exactly the same right now.

Loads of love to you and to J.

Millie and Dawn are going to absolutely love this - and how wonderful that you've made journaling pages as well - so colourful and gorgeous - hope the move goes well. x

Hiya my lovely, lovely to see all of your creations (as always). Your card is the perfect card for your sister and it shouts 'positivity' and 'happy days' to come. (Will be lovely for Millie to see too and I'm sure she will think happy thoughts too).

Will be thinking of you all come Friday and wishing your sister the best of luck in her new venture forward. It must be such a difficult time for her, bless her. She's got you by her side to cheer her on.

Love Dawn xx

Oh how could I forget about the babies and your sister. How awful it must all be at the moment but this is a brave move with little ones so young and so much more fun and peace to come give them all a hug Karen and tell her every one on your blog will be thinking of them (they will be in my prayers hun

Love Dawn xx

Chris said...

Hiya me lovely :D Breakups are always difficult but I'm sure your Sister and her little ones will find it easier having you near and having all the support I know you will lovingly give. I hope things settle down for you both soon and that she can make some new happy memories with her babies.
