SHADOW BOX

Hi all, my mum is now back home she will be coming to stay with me for a few days on Friday, she is on medications and was given the all clear, thank the Lord.

While I was full of worry to keep myself occupied I decided to do some colouring and made a few items this is the first one.

It has been a long time since I did a Shadow Box and I came up with this. I recently won some Bestie images this is one of them Image 806

I coloured her with a mix of Graph It Markers and Copics, I used some new antique style row of gems to make the frame and down the two sides of the box, the flowers and leaves are die cuts to which I added some little pearl flowers and yellow Nuvo pearl drops.

I would like to enter my shadow box into the following challenges:

My mum was admitted to Hospital yesterday with breathing problems, they carried out many tests and hooked her up to a machine to monitor her heart. They found that her heart is enlarged and beating our of sync, however, I believe they can give her medication to rectify this, once the doctor has seen her today we are hoping that she can come home, she was sat up and talking this morning so I am hoping and praying that she will be ok.

I have not been able to sleep or do much else as I have been so worried, I went in to see her last night and will go again today if she has to stay in.

Apologies if I do not get round to visit you all today.

I have been doing some stamping and colouring to try and ease my anxiety levels and depression it isn't working at the moment but if I keep it up maybe I will be able to smile a little more very soon.

I will be around to repay your wonderful kindness that you have left for me by way of your comments, I know that seeing your beautiful work will raise my spirits somewhat.

I would like to send all my love to friends and followers who are suffering with ill health, I am sending not only love but hugs and prayers, keep safe.
