    I was looking at my dashboard and thinking of you and your dad and suddenly your post popped up saying it all. He is with the angels now and smiling and at much peace. Losing a parent is one of the most powerful lessons of life... I know you are a very positive minded person and with time you will heal. How is your mum? And I hope your sister made it to see him.

    Much love and strength,

    Monica

      Thank you Monica, yes it is a sad time but it was so nice to see Dad at peace from he pain when he had gone. Mum is doing well although keeping very busy, so will keep an eye on her after all the planning is over. Yes my sister made and had some good days with Dad. Our daughter arrived home after my sister and was lucky enough to see Dad too. :-)

      Thanks for your thoughts Brenda, it is such a sad time and its the little things like knowing Dad won't be there to share Christmas that make me sad but I do have those fun time memories like my photos show. Sorry to hear about your Dad…..life is just not fun sometimes.

Gift Bags

I made these two gift bags and filled with chocolate to go with the thank you cards I posted yesterday.  I found this wonderful mini bag tutorial on Silvey's Craftroom blog.   This bag comes together so easily and no cutting is involved.....just scoring and folding then decorating.   I have used my new Floral District Design paper from Stampin up to embellish the outside of these bags.  I didn't add any flower embellishments as I think just the papers may have been a tad on the girly side for the recipients.  The inside of the bag.  My friend Helen found on the internet at some stage these wonderful magnet clasps which are intended for real bags.  Helen kindly gave me a couple and I was keen to put them to use.  They were perfect for this bag and kept it closed tightly. I so have to work on allowing time for better photos.  These bags look so much better in real life. Well Friday has arrived although I felt like it wa...
