Weekend!!!

Hi Everyone!

Hope You all have plans to 

Honour Your Mum's

this Weekend, and if

You are a Mum have a

Brilliant Time of it!!!

Not many of you know, that my little badge up top of the 

child in wings, is actually my Mum as a child.

Lost my mum December 2008 to Lymphoma but carry her

with me everyday and with my Venture 

Birdnuts Mixed Media

as without her it wouldn't have been possible :)

( Miss you Mum :)

So in Honour of my Mum

for Mother's Day :) 

tee hee

(She adored our Oliver Howard as we do:)

One of my Vintage Photo's from my 

Personal Collection

some Bits and Bob's

And another one Honouring Mother's

Using the Fabulous 

Tumblefish Studios Graphics!

Bubbie, who's pictures are part of my
