Blue and Yellow

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is just a little reminder of what the people of the Ukraine are still suffering. 

This unnecessary conflict has gone on for far too long now and innocent people are being murdered in their own country.

I am not political and I don't have the answers.
All I can see is the horrible things that are being done in this country and Putin is just getting away with it.

He seems to be able to do exactly as he wants and has the rest of the world watching on. 

So please keep these people of the Ukraine, and anywhere else where conflict is allowed to rule,  in your thoughts and prayers and hope that it will all soon be over with for them.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Sunflower Card

Hi Everybody,

I am adding a card today that I made when we did the Craftathon last week. This was an appeal to raise money to help the people in the Ukraine.

I am sure that by now you are aware that we raised over £7000 and this will go in some small way to help, and I know we all wish that there was more that we could do.

There where some lovely projects created on the day and many names that many of you will already know.

Later on today Lou Collins, who as one of the hosts on the day, will be on the Craft Store showing you the latest of my collections called Butterfly Trails.

I have sent samples to her to show you what the dies can help you to make and I have several videos lined up as well. This set is so versatile and I am really happy with it.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Rainbow of Hope

Hi Everybody.

Rainbows are beautiful things and yet they are nothing that you can touch.

Never the less they give us hope that brighter things are yet to come, and I couldn't wish anything more for our friends in the Ukraine

I cannot imagine the terrible things that they are going through, having to flee for your life with your children, Leaving behind a home that you may have had for a long time. that you have lovingly built up.

Leaving behind all those memories that have been created in and around your home and town. maybe this is where you grew up and now it is in ruins.

I pray that it will be brought to an end soon. Life will never be the same for some of those brave people.
Your home is no longer there and worse still you family and friends are no longer there either. Rebuilding a city and a home can be achieved but losing loved ones in this senseless war can never be un done. 

My heart breaks for all of you in the Ukraine, and anywhere else that is suffering war and blood shed.
And for what reason ????  People will never be cowed and those that have fled have left you with empty, devastated land,  and those that have had to remain will hate you for the rest of their lives.

End all wars now and learn to live in peace
