I’ve been thinking, dangerous I know! Anyone who knows me well knows that it’s a year ago on Christmas Eve that my mum passed away in a local hospice. I will be forever grateful to the loving care they gave to my mum, nothing was too much trouble for them and my mum passed away peacefully and pain free.


I vowed that I would give something back to the hospice to help them raise money and I thought I would take some of my art prints and a range of cards.
My sister and I would go into the little shop in the hospice reception. and buy things almost every day and it was a great way to raise money for them.
When I was creating some cards today I remembered how I was feeling at that time, trying to keep going and trying not to let the grief overcome me. It suddenly came to me, perhaps motivational cards would be nice. They could be on sale all year round.🙂 Below are a few that I did this afternoon. Any motivational quotes you care to share with me would be appreciated.





My husband has just reminded me that not everyone likes cats 🙀 so tomorrow I will try my hardest not to include cats 😉
Elaine ❤️😇🌹

What a wonderful idea, Elaine. Have to say, I agree with your husband. Deadly allergic to cats – not a symbol I associate with good things, lol.

Maybe a special guardian angel or two watching over everyone might make a nice card? ❤

Or maybe you could paint a cat angel? With furry instead of feathery wings…
