thank-you all so much for your words of support after my last post, i really am so very grateful...
so back to some craft related posting... i'm really excited to have signed up for the trim swap organised by the lovely eireann... i get really really excited about such things and have had a lovely time playing around in my drawers trying to decide what to send, here's a sneak peak of the little box that is making it's way across the seas... will reveal more when it arrives at it's destination...
i just noticed that this post is #99... being that i had such a lovely time making up this little package i'm thinking i might make up some more to give away in celebration of my 100th post, stay tuned...
it feels like i've written this post a hundred times over in my head and at times i've wondered if i would ever feel brave enough to write these words... but today is a wonderful day and i feel brave...
today we walked a very special walk... it was significant because in december last year i was diagnosed with breast cancer and a few weeks ago i finished the second part of my treatment ... though the the journey continues, i'm going to be fine...
so we walked...
and we celebrated the gift of life for which we are so very grateful...
some of my favourite books are cookery books, to read about food feels so sustaining and at their very best these books speak of life as much as food... i'm currently reading the book you see here, it's called "Apples for Jam: Recipes for Life" by Tessa Kiros (isbn 1-74045-748-x) ...not only is it beautifully photograped and styled, it is full of memories and dreams...
these pages remind me of my own childhood... they inspire me to create special memories with my own little family and to cherish each moment that we spend together... in the same way this wonderful community has helped to sustain me through these days... so thank-you dear friends...
oh and happy mother's day to all the mums out there...
