WOYWW 741: One Week On

 Thank you all so much for the condolences and best wishes last week.  We should know by the end of today when Dad's funeral will be held - Mum is determined not to have it next Tuesday though as that is my and my sister's birthday. 


I had the most beautiful bouquet of flowers last week from Barabara Gray and the Clarity team for me and Mum and took them over to Mums.  The lilies went into a vase in the kitchen away from the cats and the rest looked lovely on the hearth with family photos.
My desk shows the folder of projects from the Clarity workshop.  Eva brought it over on Sunday and I look forward to trying them out.
A favourite of Dad.
I am determined to keep up with the challenge of #dailydrawing2023. 
Hope to get round visiting you all later today. Eva is visiting later too after my annual health check.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Don't forget to visit/link up at Stamping Ground.

How wonderful the Clarity team sent flowers for your mother and you after your father's death. That is one thoughtful team.

Love the latest set of daily drawings. My favorite is Stack because it makes me hungry. Happy WOYWW from # 6.

How lovely of Clarity to send you and your mum some flowers. Such a sad time for you but hopefully your daily drawing and visits from Eva will help take your mind off things.
Have a lovely birthday next week.

How lovely that Clarity sent you those flowers, so thoughtful. They look beautiful together with the photos. I hope the funeral sin’t too far away, the waiting seems interminable. Well done for keeping the daily drawings going, crafting definitely helps.

Hi Sarah, I'm late today as we've been to the fish farm this morning. I know you've been keeping busy and loving the new journal pages. That was very kind of them to send flowers, bet they brightened your and your mum's day. Sending you hugs and wishes for a happy and creative woyww, Angela x15x
