Mum -- You are Wonderful.

Lots, and lots has been going on in my life lately, some not so good, but mostly it has been really good, a wonderful, wonderful, person in my life is my Mum, a while ago now, I wrote about my mum not doing to well, well she had the dreaded "C" which was pretty worrying for us as a family, well really, really worrying. Well I just wanted to share with you, that my mum is doing really well, it has taken a while, but she is now starting to get back on her feet, and feeling like her old self, which is absolutely wonderful. I won't go into what has happened, but I just wanted to say, that I love my family and my mum and dad mean the world to me, and I am so pleased things are turning around, and that mum is doing, so very, very, well.

I created this layout for Scrapbook City, for a challenge, and I just wanted to share it with you. It was done with MOD pp's, I cut out the circles added some flowers and did some doodling with pen and glitter, this layout is sort of a tribute to my mum.
I also want to share my Topiary Tree with you. It was in the latest SM, I am sending it to Mum which I will be posting in the next few days, it was suppose to be heading to the UK, but I know mum will be over the moon when she receives this tree, especially with photos of her grandchildren, she will love it.

Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely weekend, not long now until xmas is upon us.

Best Wishes
Carole.
