Now you may be asking why is it a blue card in so many ways, well #1 My Mum isn't with us anymore,
#2 its not Mothers Day, #3 The stamped image is smudged as it got a couple of drops of rain on it (or maybe a couple of tears) but I am sure my mum would love it anyway. When we first lost my Mum to Cancer 41/2 years ago just before Mothers day my eldest daughter naturally went and bought her a Mothers day card as she always had (they were very close) then suddenly realised what she had done, but she still took it up to mum's garden at the cemetery and after 4 1/2 years she still takes her a card or flowers for any special occasion.Now you may be asking why is it a blue card in so many ways, well #1 My Mum isn't with us anymore,
So even though its not Mothers Day lets all remember our Mum's.

Gorgeous card Sally. My Mum too passed away just before Mothers Day (8 years next year) and I just had a little cry reading your entry. Thanks for sharing not only your card but a little bit of you too.
