#MakeForMum

On Wednesday 7th March I will be taking part in a #MakeforMum event. This is an event organised by Child Bereavement UK to celebrate and remember mums everywhere, or for mums to remember their children on Mothering Sunday.

#MakeforMum aims to raise money and awareness to help even more families rebuild their lives after bereavement. If you're interested in getting involved, you can visit their website here or for more information on the charity as a whole. The same for their Facebook page.

To spread the word you can share your pictures on Mother's Day using the #MakeforMum hashtag, or text MUMS02 £10 to 70070 to donate. (£10 is used here as an example, you can insert any amount you choose)

If you are local, pop into the Clare Charity Centre for cakes, candles, jewellery, hand sewn gifts and cards! There's more posted about this event on my Facebook page 

Have a lovely sunny (cross fingers) afternoon!

Spring

Last weekend felt a little bit like Spring. There was a chill in the air but the sun was out. I was ready for the grey January and February skies to be replaced by blue, and for the great outside to take on some of the colours I've been using in my cards for the last couple of months.

Because my mind has been on Mother's Day and Easter and that's prime time of year for bright pastels!

The world has caught up - daffodils are starting to emerge and bright purple crocuses are out in force.

It is about this time of year that I start thinking of Mother's Day. I consider what card I am going to make for my mum and how we can treat her to say thank you. I'm hoping for another refreshing Spring day so we can spend time together in the sun.

I've listed a few Mother's Day cards on my Etsy shop. They're all blank for a special, personal message. I can also do custom designs if there's something you like but would prefer some personalisation.

Have a really lovely weekend!
