The end of a day and a half




Had rather a stressful day today. Went to take Mum shopping and put her hair in rollers, ready for her Thursday outing tomorrow.
Not to go into fine detail. I was tired by the time I'd been in two supermarkets and walked with Mum at a snail's pace. (She's 89 bless).
By the time I'd emptied the car and got her settled, I was about all in.
We had a 'misunderstanding' and ended up shouting at each other which really upset both of us. Anyway, it's left me feeling like a wrung out rag, so I'm hoping the lavendar essential oils in the bath I'm running. will help soothe me and bring my stress levels down to manageable proportions!!LOL

I went to my dear friend Pam's
yesterday and we did really well. I made three cards and she made four!!!!!
We had to bring all the craft gear down to the kitchen so we 'managed' with only a bit of her stash.

Here are my efforts for the day. What do you think?
