Life really has dealt you and your family many blows this past year but as much as you have to deal with you are doing a remarkable job. <br />The world is hurting right now we have harmed the beauty that surrounds us, we have all played a part mostly unknowingly. I praise you for standing up and making your voice heard because something needs to be done fast to save our planet. <br />Living in the UK we too have seen many changes over the past few years, this year with devastating floods where residents were given no warning. Homes and history washed away within hours, catastrophic for many families. We are used to rain in the UK but we have seen record rainfall this Autumn...<br />Wishing your partner all the best Jesse and I hope they soon find out what is causing your Son's sickness. Your Mother sounds like she has chosen the right path for her at least you know that she is safe and being looked after. I hope you soon find a buyer for all her worldly possessions. <br />Family is so important and being there for each other even more so, take care of each other and I will keep you and yours in my thoughts and pray that those fires do not come any closer. Stay safe & look after yourself Hugs Tracey xx<br />Tracey@Hotchpotchcreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362505772186981279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484406258278583706.post-79601709714349104532019-12-01T03:30:10.892-08:002019-12-01T03:30:10.892-08:00It sounds as though you have had an unbelievably s...It sounds as though you have had an unbelievably stressful year - you must have had to dig deep to make your way through it all. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by and say hello.<br /><br />The bush fires are horrifying to see even from here on the other side of the world. It must be terrifying to live within their reach. I have a friend in Sydney who says you can see and taste the smoke all day and the sky is often red with the reflected light of the flames. I've also been on some climate marches and find the lack of will to act on the part of governments around the world utterly baffling. I guess they prefer money and power to protecting the future of the planet.<br /><br />I'm sending virtual hugs, and I certainly hope that 2020 will provide some respite from everything that is going on for you and your family. Stay strong.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484406258278583706.post-73274210666968628422019-07-22T17:36:56.068-07:002019-07-22T17:36:56.068-07:00Thanks for your kind words, Karen.

You have credited her beautifully with a 'new' dress, a little friend, and lovely collage; gorgeous layers so well done in vintage style~ And there is your precious cat Tara! (I myself am deathly allergic to cats, but I think they are beautiful:) You must have so many great memories~ <br />Thru the years I have had many blessings from 'generous spirits' like your garden friend; probably too many to remember! It is always a good thing to pass along and pay forward : ) Hugs to you and yours, karen oRoosterhead Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085120740728639979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484406258278583706.post-82131666626050244572019-07-20T17:26:37.862-07:002019-07-20T17:26:37.862-07:00Yes, Dorthe, this doll is a beautiful treasure.

Not at all usual so I am behind in all my flower planting. I really like the way you've edged your flower beds with the bricks and stones. I've used stones for edging for years but never tho't to combine them with the bricks to keep the grass at bay. Good idea. I hope your cold season is a happy and productive one for you and your family.
