Hi Everyone,
Hope your all well....Well we have no snow here at the moment which is great although all the kids in our cul-de-sac keep saying why not,where is it...I know some of you have a few inches so I hope it's not making life to complicated for you all.....Can I say another big thank you for the lovely cards I keep receiving for my cousins it cheers them up so much ,and some of you have e-mailed and asked how they are well Betty is still quite poorly in hospital,I'm really worried about her and Ann-Marie has been moved on Wednesday to a community hospital as they wanted the bed on the stroke ward,it makes it even more difficult as you have to go 15 miles to the hospital that betty's in then drive 15 miles to the next town to the hospital Ann-Marie is in then still drive home again..So I'm sorry if I'm taking a long time to come and see you all and comment but I will get there eventually PLEASE PLEASE bear with me while this situation keeps on..

Awww how sweet! Just adorable. Loving the embossed background. Thank you for playing along with Ellephantastic hugs x
Sorry to hear that your family are still not doing very well.
I think it is very good of you to spend so much time running around taking family members to appointments and visiting sick ones. There always seems to be so much to do without those extra duties. I know it will be a relief for life to return to normal, but hopefully with a postive outcome for everyone.
When I get frustrated by a situatuon I'm in, sometimes I find it helps to think of how it could be worse and that makes it more liveable for me. I don't know if it will help make you feel better about the drive or not, but in living in northern Canada (by Flin Flon,Manitoba) my problem is distance. Our hospital is just basic care, so if anyone needs more than that, they are flown out to a larger center which means 5.5 hours to Saskatoon or 8 hours to Winnipeg by car from home. I don't know what the distance in miles is as it's habit to go by how long it takes us to get there. :)
Anyway, have a good week and best wishes to you and your family.
This is beautiful Mandy, I love your colouring and papers xxx
Aww Mandy I really hope your cousins improve soon so that life becomes easier for you. You really have enough on your plate caring for your parents and your own family. How's your back? has this situation made it any worse?
Love your card, the image is so sweet and she looks great on the snowflake background.
