Mailboxes

I think this is such a pretty image, simple and very cute. I am going to make several of these to keep handy when I want to just send a short letter to someone. The image is by Rick and is called mailboxes, you can find the image here at Rick's Zibbet shop. Printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers. Cardstock by Hunkydory.
Onto family news, we are still waiting for a date for Colin's operation. The chemo has shrunk the tumour on his lung so now we have to get Colin as fit as possible to allow the operation to go ahead. It is a strange time for us knowing that this will be a major operation, a two week stay in hospital then about six weeks recovery at home. It is the biggest challenge we as a couple have ever had to face and I thought we had been through some tough times before. Previous painful experiences have faded into dull memories. The dreadful pain my daughter has caused me, the fact that I have never met my grand daughter, the shame I feel about lies that have been told about me...I will concentrate on what I do have. My dear husband, the relationship I have with his daughter Lisa and her husband Manwai. My beautiful step-grandchildren Jaydn, Jasmine and Poppy and the crafters whose blogs I visit as often as I can. And the amazing friendships that are forming in the Rick St Dennis design team, fledgling  friendships but so important to me. Thank you my new friends, you are funny, witty, incredibly talented and always surprising.
