In the last few weeks, I've had a really intense journey of setting up my craft room, plotting my Etsy launch, and dealing with my mother's untimely departure from my world. As many of you know my Mum, passed away on April 1st and I being an only child had alot to cope with, in addition to the loss of my beloved mother, I had to exact her funeral wishes and then organize her memorial of photos and music for her service. All those creative art projects that I undertook really helped me cope and helped me enable my enormous family and my and her group of friends find some closure during this hard time.
I am definitely around. I am working and doing well (as she always raised me to take the knock down, but you gotta get up, dust off, and keep going). I know she is really proud to see me miss her greatly, but yet demonstarte her masterful upbringing by not being 'completely lost and devastated' by her passing. It also helps that I have faith...I'm definitely going to see her again. I just know it.
I am still planning to post before and after photos of my fabulous work table find from Craigslist and to show you all a very special way that I am turning all your heart felt and warm sympathy cards into flowers! Thats right, I am die cutting each card into a flower arrangement! I think its a great way to immortalize your love to me and her and also for me to decorate the mantel where her ashes are to be kept with flowers that will never wilt and never die, just like our love for her. So stay tuned...
