  10. I like what you did, Shirley. It's adds so much emotion and yet cosiness to it. And big hugs to you re: your mom. I know we've both recently lost our parents. Thinking of you and sending love your way. xo

  11. Yes, it's that time of year. My mom died the day after Valentines Day... a long time ago, but I still miss her terribly and think of her most often this time of year. Wishing a happy birthday to your mom Shirley and (((hugs))) to you because I know that it's a hard day for you <3 Love the new illustration. ;)

    Hugs, Jane x

  18. Hello Shirley, he/she looks so lonely wandering in the cold forest - as Bella says, you just want to hug this bear! And yes, your mum would be so proud to have such a talented daughter as yourself. I bet she is watching with a smile on her face. The lettering on the trunks works beautifully.
