It looks like being another lovely day and I am spending it cleaning my Mum's bungalow ready for her return.  She moved yesterday from hospital to a rehabilitation home where I know they will get her back on her feet and walking.  She has been a bit depressed over the past few days but it is the first time in 17 weeks so she isn't doing too bad.  
I have recently purchased a great cycle die that I showed you yesterday in a set of cards I made, well here are 2 others with a sentiment I found on Pinterest and I think is perfect for this die.

    1. Thank you for hosting the blog hop Sandy, this is the first time ever for me! Finding it difficult to fit everything in with Mum not living/being near me. It's great to see them improving and it certainly makes you think about your own future!!
