Candy Winner and News.

Let's start with the candy winner. While I'm back at home I thought I'd better take the opportunity to get the candy drawn.

Anne I will get your parcel popped in the mail to you xxx

The reason for my absence:

My mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer in July. Mum was a very private person and she didn't want anyone to know that she was poorly.

She didn't want to talk about it, didn't complain, just accepted it and got on with it.

She didn't want any treatment, just palliative care and her only wish was to remain at home for as long as possible.

My amazing dad cared for mum, with the District Nurses and Bolton Hospice at Home nurses providing invaluable support for the last couple of weeks, which enabled mum to remain at home for all but a couple of hours. I cannot praise enough the work these nurses do, they are truly angels.

Mum passed away peacefully in the early hours of last Saturday morning.

I will not be around much for at least the next couple of weeks.

A Little Bit Of Candy

It's definitely been one of those years when my crafting time has taken a back seat, due to one thing or another. An illness within the family is my priority now and so I'm not at home much these days.

My blog has been neglected along with my friends, my commenting has fallen by the wayside, my inbox is full of unanswered emails and although I do feel bad about it, my family will always come first, as it should.

So I have a little candy to say 'thank you', especially to those that still pop on here even though I don't return the favour.

These are all things I love...I must love them because I have two of them all!

Stempelglede "Follow Your Heart" set of unmounted rubber stamps.

Stampin' Up! "Express Yourself" set of foam mounted stamps.

Go Kreate dies, large frames Frilly #10.

Tattered Lace die - Rose.

Joy! Crafts dies, Feathers.

La-La Land Crafts die - Stitched Scallops.

All items are brand spanking new and in need of some love..like being taken out of the packets and used!

Candy is open worldwide (though I am not liable for any customs charges that some countries impose).

As I said earlier, the candy is a small thank you and I would like it to go to a follower or friend, whether they have a blog or not, so no candy only blogs please.

Just leave a comment on this post.

(I moderate all my comments just because I get so much spam so don't worry if your comment isn't published immediately, I will publish them the next time I get home and on my computer)

Thanks for everything ♥

Love 'n' hugs
