How is your week going? Did you have a good weekend? It was certainly good having the extra day. It is a shame it rained so much on Sunday. A quick update on my parents there has been no further talk of stopping the carers going in. This is a huge relief I am sure there will be more hurdles to overcome. My parents can no longer cope on their own they really do need the help. I don't want to find my dad like he was back in the summer.
I would like to say thank you for the messages of support that I have received about my parents. I know so many of you understand.
I have been looking through my files for cards to share. As you know I stepped down from a few design teams and I am having a break from two others. I am struggling to make anything at the moment. I hope things will be a bit more settled when we get back from a short break.
Before everything happened with my parents I was getting on well with making my Christmas cards. I found the image in my stash I have had it for ages. I added trees cut with the Winter Tree dies from Creative Expressions.
I do like the Forever Friends bears they are very cute.
This is a Creative Expressions Santa die it comes with two reindeer. I just cut extra and add them.
I found the sentiment in my stash too. Some of my stash I have had for ages. At the moment while I am not really crafting I am trying not to buy any new crafty bits.
Here is the finished card. The papers I used were in my stash too. One of these days I will have a proper tidy up.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
I would like to enter the following challenges:

A gorgeous card Jackie. Pleased to hear that your parents are continuing with care. Hope you have a good break.
Cute card Jackie, I love Forever Friends images too. I am glad things are more positive for your parents. Good thing about craft supplies - they never go off and will be waiting for you when you are able to crafty once again.

Hi Jackie,
I do hope things keep on an upward move with your parents.
Such a very worrying time for you.
When my Dad had problems I lived so far away and my Sister was n Angel and did it all just like you.
I love your wonderful card and the super fab design.
The for ever friends bear is so cute and I love the prancing sligh and reindeers die cut.
Such beautiful winter trees also.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful card, Jackie.
Hugs,

I'm glad to gear that your parents have stopped talking about getting rid of their care package. Hope the care company know to contact you if at any time they are told that their help is not required. Hopefully you will feel more settled in yourself and feel more up to crafting as you begin to relax - it really is a good thing to take your mind off stressfull situations for a while. Not having DT deadlines is probably a good thing at the moment. That way you can just pick up crafting when you feel like it, perhaps going through all your crafting stash an re-starting using old favourites. Then, when you feel like it you can get backon DTs.
This card is lovely with you. You bring many different elements together so well.
