Withdrawal Symptoms

Well I can hardly believe where the time has gone. Since my fantastic two days at AFTH with Dina Wakley, I haven't had time to do anything big along those arty lines! (moan)
I've been busy catching up on college work and running too and fro to meetings with Social Services, Mental Health, Doctor's and Care Workers about my Auntie Gladwin. Uncle Frank desperately wants her to come home, so we are working hard to put a care package in place to make that happen.
I took my Mum and Dad to visit at the weekend, its Dad's sister and they look very alike...once, my Dad put on a wig and my sister thought it was Auntie Glad! (she was only little at the time!)

Uncle Frank and Auntie Glad have married for 62 years so you can understand why he doesn't want to be parted from her.... its so sad because I don't know if he will manage to look after her 24 hours a day, even with a care package and me and my sisters not too far away. They are both 84.

The only thing I have managed to create, besides keeping up with Kate's 365 challenge ( yes, Kate, I'm hanging in there - its my 5 minutes peace every day!!) is this for Lynn's birthday - its a voucher for a meal at 'The Walled Garden' at Wentworth Garden Centre.

I like the look of the 'voucher' very much, two of the images are from a collage sheet from artchix, the one in front (yes, I know - they match perfectly!) is from the new Graphic 45 'On the Boardwalk' collection (bathing beauties) The background looked quite good before I covered most of it up!
I love to make these vouchers for friends so they've got something to look at and hold (and I know Lynn will stroke this!) - its much nicer way of saying "I'm taking you out for a meal for your birthday"! Also, Lynn will love this because she loves to escape to Wentworth....she'll just have me for company on that particular day!

The new restaurant is open at the garden centre and it's called 'The Walled Garden', I was captivated by the name because I am following Jill's story about a place she loves and visits often also called 'The Walled Garden' but this is actually a place undergoing renovation. Jill takes fabulous photographs and is telling the story each visit by making a journal incorporating her photo's. I love it. It's inspiring. Go check it out.
