for a special person......with love

I have spoken before about Laura, she was truly an amazing person who fought hard but sadly lost her fight against lung cancer in July, aged just 24....

She was way too young to die, and had way too many more things to do and so much more love to give.
Laura's family are setting up a charity in her name...Pink Mackenzie.

I made some scrapbook pages with some pictures of Laura to give to my lovely friend Bunty who is Laura's Aunt.
I didn't want to post pictures on here until I had delivered them to Bunty, but for one reason and another we didn't manage to get together till this evening.
We had a lovely meal with our Hubby's and I really enjoyed spending time with them.

This is the first scrap book page I ever made.
Emma helped me, both with the layout and with emotional support....
It was sad making these pages, but in a way it was almost like saying good bye to a lovely person I knew too briefly and only online and though her family. xx

I am very proud of these pages....
So here they are......








This one is for Bunty's daughter Nicola, who will miss her special cousin,
who she was very close to, spent family holidays with and loved like a sister and a best friend....

This one I am keeping....just sums up the fun that Laura and Rich shared in their love together.
It is really unfair they had so little time together, but they had more in thier short time than many couples have in relationships that last years......

There are many out there on blog land who are having difficult times,
heart broken over lost loved ones, worried about their own or loved ones health problems....
Life is hard and too often too short.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle


hippy hugs and love xxxx

friendship and tea

I enjoyed Sally card class on Tuesday and the two cards I made were very
different to what I would normally make.

One is a Chrimbo card that is gonna be for Emma,
so wont be shown here just yet.

And the other one is on it's way to a lovely friend. ( the lighting is awful....)


and has a wee envelope inside it with a tea bag....a bit cheesy but cute all the same!

In the post the other was a beautiful card from Chrissy.
Sent by Chrissy~mail....same as Elf post...


I commented on a card she made a wee while ago and asked if she would send me a couple of stamped images from this stamp....I don't normally do begging requests honest!



I have been looking everywhere for this stamp with no luck...
but Chrissy sent me lots of the images and a fair few more...

Thank you babes XXX
