      Thank you for your kind words Carol.
      I know this can be a hard day for so many how have lost a love one but we should then celebrate the wonderful Mothers we have lost too.
      You could always make it as a memory book with the things you most loved about your Mother and pass it on so future generations know what your mother was really like.
      Great you are making one for your Mother in Law and I am sure she will treasure it.
      I always feel scrapbooking is pass on our memories to the family to come. A great gift! Dawn x

    Tutti i giorni “faccio una passeggiata” nel tuo sito per trovare nuove idee da rielaborare (non da copiare così come le presenti tu, solo da rifare…)… sei una gran fonte di ispirazione!!! Grazie!!! questo mini per la festa della mamma è semplicemente delizioso e non solo per le mamme! io pensavo di usarlo come lavoretto di Natale per i bambini della scuola, così potranno mettere le loro foto di famiglia…da provare!

    I saw you make this wonderful star and thought this would be perfect for my grandchildren to make for mum with photographs of them included – and I will try and make one for my daughter but change it to a Valentine star for her partner.

    Thank you so very much you are such a clever lady and an inspiration.
