Here is my card for this week's teapot party! Oooh, this one was very close to home. As some of you might already know my mom (72) has been living with alzheimer's for almost 12 years now. It's not been easy but we have had some time to adjust...do you ever. If not, we live with it as alot of us I know. The best thing to help me cope with it, is to remember my mom as she used to be. Vibrant, playful and so much love for her grandkids!
Thank you for looking and enjoy the day
My card is for the ladies at the center that take care of her there.

You learn something new on here everyday. I did not know about your mom. Hugs to you BOTH! The caregivers will LOVE getting your sweet little card made just for them!

What a beautiful card for your Mom's caregivers, Peggy! I love the sunny colors and pretty images and I am sure they will truly appreciate your thoughtful card! I am sure that it is very difficult for you to see your Mom with this terrible disease. Hold on tight to the memories of when she was well and happy!

Oh Peggy, I didn't know that about your mum! In a way you must have lost her just as much as I lost mine when she died. This sunshiny card is bound to bring a smile with it.
