Just Add Ink #537...Blog Hop!

                               

Happy Friday Friends!

It is Just Add Ink BLOG HOP challenge time and the first for 2021! As we always do at Just Add Ink, we are starting off the year with a blog hop and given the year just gone and current circumstances, we decided on the theme of "Family"...This can be absolutely any project theme, as long as its for a family member or about your family.

I know from talking to many friends and family during this time, that the lack of physical contact and the stress relating to not being able to actually see those we love and worry about was a huge thing.

For me not seeing my grandkids regularly was huge, but also worrying about my dad and step-mum was really hard. 

Both turned 80yr during lockdown and with both having health issues and being immune compromised and ending up in hospital it really sucked, especially as the hospital due to covid did not allow visitors.

Unfortunately my step mum is due for more surgery and although visiting is now allowed, it is the "ONE" rule...One visitor, for one hour, once a day, which l totally get, but makes it so hard.

So, my project is to send to her, to let her know l care, even if l cant be there...At least l can hopefully keep my dad company when he's not visiting her and l know she will love it, as she had been dabbling in cardmaking classes at her local community center pre-covid and gave me a beautiful handmade card for my recent birthday.

I decided on the Pretty Perennials Bundle, the Painted Textures 3D embossing folder and added a diecut greeting from the Well Written dies.

The colours l chose are Flirty Flamingo (2nd Generation)-Blushing Bride-Mossy Meadow-Old Olive-Mango Melody and then Coastal Cabana on the embossed panel done with the Blending Brushes.

RIP Ralph!

Family isn't always two legged and this beautiful boy got his last cuddles after 14yrs last night. He was our time share puppy (my sons dog) but being a people pooch, he spent a lot of that time with us while my son was at work and l will miss my furry shadow and his cuddles and click clack dance on the floorboards in the mornings...love you furball!
