Mam's 80th a Special Day

It was so good to get all of the family together for dinner.

Mam had a lovely afternoon and here is the picture to prove it,

Now the bag that she is holding is a vinyl print and the image I designed from a photograph of my Mam in her younger days, it was perfect to hold some craft goodies that I popped in for her.

Thanks to Inkspot photography for making the bag for me. They do them in all different colours.

Now you may of noticed the other thing that Mam is holding, there is a little story to that, whilst looking for a vase to put a bouquet of flowers in that was from her late Brothers wife she found this hand made little Calander which was made by her late friend Evelyn, what is even more interesting is that the little Calander that is attached was dated 1953 which was the year my Mam and Dad was married.

I know it was all most likely to be coincidental but it did make my Mam feel like everyone was with her for her special day.

Back at Create and Craft to Launch Pick of the Week

I'm back at Create and Craft today (Friday) and tomorrow to launch the Spellbinders Pick of the Week, around 100 products no less so you really don't want to miss these shows.

My shows today are 12:00, 15:00 and then a 2 hour show at 17:00

Tomorrow's shows are 08:00, 13:00 and 17:00

I have my feet up to stop my ankles flaring up with pains again.

They are better than they were.

Before I go to get ready for the shows I wanted to show you the soldier statue which is in my village on loan, it is so gorgeous that the village is trying to raise the funds to buy it.

Fat ankles

Don't you just love it when your arthritis flares up? I knew it was going to happen, I had that achy burn in one of my ankles over the last few days and I have visions of having to drag it along with meas I walked, I have psoriatic arthritis and on the whole it is controlled with meds.

I had a long drive ahead of me as I was headed back home after my 6pm show on Create and Craft and as you can see it is nicely swollen and fat now.

Time for some rest methinks.
