Mother's Day Card

Good Evening everyone,


I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the lovely comments on my 'Proud Nanny' post, I loved reading them all & it really made me up x


I will have to change my profile picture coz I have coloured my hair to dark brown ....... I still jump a bit when I look in the mirror Lol, just gotta used to it. Still, hubby thinks he has a new bird Lol. Even when we went out to the cocktail bar on Saturday evening (our regular watering hole), the waitress took time to come over to us, when she did, she commented that she thought I was some one else !!! Lol


Anyway, today was my 1st proper day to the start of my two weeks off. I had a good sort out of my crafting stuff on my front room table. Even though it was tidy, it was just getting higher Lol.


The card I am showing you today is the card I made for my Mum for 'Mother's Day'. I have just not had time to upload it!
I shall be going there tomorrow evening with hubby for a few nights. Shall miss the baby though x

    Your card is gorgeous Sally! Love the sentiment, beautiful.
    what a coincidence! I've changed my hair colour as well on saturday to dark brown, i was fed up of the blond and i quite like it, my natural colour is not as dark but everyone loves it. You can see it on my blog now.
    Have a great day.
    Hugs xx
