Firstly must thank everyone for there lovely comments last week i tried to pop over and see you all most i did but if i didnt im sorry.This was due to a phone call at 11am last Wednesday from my best Friend to say that her Daughters baby girl "Summer " had been found dead in her cot this morning only 7months .So the rest of the day was a blurr,and very numb.
Anyways please read the whole post as at the bottom i have some Candy for all you WOYWW bloggers.

The first piccy i have took is the album on my desk from photos took last night .i thought id show you close up.I am commissioned to make a Christmas Paper bag album for a lady who wants to take it to Switzerland to her daughter.So i have to get my skates on.This is the front cover of the album happy with that but now my mojo has gone at the wrong time as i need to get another 11 pages done!

The below piccy shows some wee Bags in abox sat on the tin .These are easy and fab to make if your interested on how to make these for any occassion see my below post.These are filled with chocolates and tag is enclosed in ribbon to match paper but you cant really see that.Next to that i have jusT made some cd covers which i have decorated .The one you can see has green ribbon and merry Christmas in green embossed on front.

Fabulous space and creations to admire here Jude.

I am so very sorry to read about Summer, I know how it feels to lose a baby (my first son died at two days old) - all you can do for your friend and her daughter is just to be there for anything they need and don't be afraid to say Summer's name either, it will help.

Gentle hugs for you

Such sad news. I would urge hor to contact a local chapter of Compassionate Friends

http://www.compassionatefriends.org/home.aspx

They were a great support to us when our don died.

It's hard to make an upbeat comment in the face of such a tragedy, but your album is lovely. I am a huge fan of paper bag books in general.

Joey said...

Oh my gosh Jude, my heartfelt prayers go out to your friend and her daughter, that is just horriffic, makes my heart sink.xx

The electronic one already has made a huge difference, I absolutely love it!!!
