Perhaps it's not such a bad day today after all......no crafting stash for Mothers' Day, haven't been taken out to lunch nor had one made for me BUT I did get two very sweet handmade cards, three daffodils from our garden(!), a magazine (from Lewis's own pocket money!) and a luke warm cup of very strong black coffee all brought up to me on a tray in bed!! Bless them!! Plus, I also received this award from Tara. Thanks Tara, it really is appreciated :) I now, in turn, have to award this to five people and I've chosen Fran because not only is she inspirational but she also makes me laugh!, Denise my great blogging buddy in the States whose work I admire greatly, Katharina, another hugely talented lady, Jackie who reminds me so much of myself (!) and last but by no means least, Annie who not only does great work but is always ready to help.
I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

Thank you so much for my award. It's a lovely end to my day. xx
Sounds like a nice Mother's day. Happy Mother's Day to you! I bet those cards from the boys will be a treasured gift. Lucky too that you already have daffodils in the garden, definitely no fresh flowers here! :) Hope you had a wonderful day. Hugs! :)
