I know many of you admire the ribbon I use so thought it would be fun to give some away.

All you have to do is tell me which of Ribbon Carousel ribbons is your favourite and leave me a comment telling me, then add your name to the Inlinkz button and of course spread the news, add it to your blog or facebook or a forum with a linkback to here.

I will leave this candy up for grabs for a few days so get your name in quick.

Slumber Party Dena

 

This little girl is geared up for a fun night, as I recall it’s not too fun for the Mum hosting as they are all awake best part of the night.

Slumber Party Dena by Mo’s Digital Pencil would be the ideal card for a birthday girl.

Pause for Thought

On our return home from the city we were driving along the sea front, we often see loads of people out walking many with dogs taking them for a stroll, joggers, power walkers, courting couples and generally people out for a bit of fresh air.

It gets less in the colder months as the North sea can blow a mighty chill through your bones.

Today I noticed a Mother walking with a teenage girl whom I took to be her daughter, the girl looked at me, a very pretty girl in fact beautiful, this girl had no expression not a smile nor a frown totally no expression, I could tell by the care she was getting from the lady who was with her that she wasn’t your average teenager, possibly Autism or learning difficulties.

This got me thinking, I love to hear and see my daughters laughing often winding each other up, chasing each other around the house, crying if the other is hurt, elated if they have joyous news. How often do we take that for granted, here was a beautiful girl with little or no expressive emotions, I really don’t know how I would feel as a Mother not seeing that from my girls.

Remember to count your blessings.
