New Years Eve 2023

 

Good morning and can you believe I was woken up to the sound of the birds singing this morning.  Havent heard them in quite a while. 

We had a chilled day yesterday although I did put lots of bits and pieces away and get things straight....as I do.  Went to see mum and dad in the afternoon who were both in good health (as best that they can be).  I also made a turkey pie, yes we are still eating the turkey.  Hubby has been after making a pie for a few years now so we went off to the BBC good food guide, found something that had good reviews and had a go.   

The last day of 2023 goodness me.  I do hope that you have a wonderful day and evening, whatever you may be up to.  Us, we are off to see my parents again this afternoon and hopefully meeting my sister and her hubby there.  Mum wants to have a game of cards....should be interesting as her memory is not the very best these days, ooops. Having vasular dementia and Alzeiheimers isnt the easiest thing but at the moment she still knows who we all are.  She may get confused by the days and she may get in a muddle halfway through a sentance but we are lucky, she is still mum.   Dad is amazing with her and it cant be easy for him at times. 

Do you make New Year Resolutions?  I think that this last year has made me realise that it is the little things in life that matter and make the most difference in my life.  Such as holding the door open, taking the time to get in touch, receiving something in the post for no reason at all, saying thank you, adding that extra little touch to card making, pretty packaging etc.  So that is what I shall be doing for 2024 making sure that I do the little things.  Do you have any New Year resolutions?  Would love to hear about them in the comments if you do.

Of course I shall spend another year of crafting now and then and meeting up with all the wonderful friends I have made over the years.  Fingers crossed I get to meet lots of new friends too. 

Speaking of crafting, here is a card that was made for a recent birthday.  

 

I loved making this one.  It has so many different elements to it and it is from a sketch I saw somewhere on the internet.  Do you ever follow sketches?  This is where you see an image and it shows you where you should place elements but the elements you use are totally up to you.  

Well I must go and get myself ready for another lovely day.  Thank you so much for having a read x
