Christmas Cards of Love (part 2)

   

Thank you SO much to the lovely children who came into Rogan's Books yesterday to create beautiful, original and fun Pop-up Snowman cards to send to the elderly residents of Airedale and Elcombe House. I had so much fun seeing all these snowmen come to life!

And of course, a BIG thank you to Rachael Rogan for inviting me. What a lovely way to spend a cold Saturday afternoon - in my favourite shop surrounded by beautiful books, cutting and sticking and making art, which will hopefully bring a smile or two to the residents' faces :)

It's been a loooong time since my last post. This is due to loss of nap time by our littlest one, and I think it is affecting both me and him immensely. I am much more disorganised, frustrated, impatient and exhausted than usual, and I think he is too (apart from the "disorganised" bit - I don't know what a toddler needs to organise other than maybe his gem collection or toy cars). 

It's become a bit of a mission to do anything other than the basics of looking after family and home.

I have been playing around with some pop-up card ideas though, and have managed to put together a rather silly video voiced by our very own non-sleeping but lovely huggy boys! This is partly in preparation for an art and craft workshop I will be giving as part of a "Wellbeing Day" for staff at a local school next week. I'm looking forward to it :)
