Mum turns 50

On the 17th October Mum had a milestone birthday. I made this kaiser craft 50 album. Using My Minds Eye Papers I covered and embellished it, with her in mind.






I used "earthy papers" as mum is a beautiful creative, earthy person. She loves and breathes the outdoors and always has, since I was born. Living on farms, to our domestic garden in the suburbs, to handmaking our clothes, knitting, patchworking for us all, Painting, and drawing have been others avenues of creativity, and finally its her photography of the outdoors. Sunsets and nature, animals, and flowers are the amazing images she captures on camera!




Mum opening her card made by me and signed by my brother and sisters. I have to get mum to take a photo of this as I forgot to take a photo before I took it to mum....



Looking at all the tags for each of her children and grandchildren in the ribbons tied round the book rings.


And lastly a beautiful picture of mum and her partner (best friend) Brian on her birthday, modeling a new haircut by my sister, with a brand new frame to frame her cross stitch (from my brother), 4 new chicks and a mummy hen (from another sister) in the coop made by Brian, and the soap (from another sister) after being outside taking photos and looking after her pets and gardens, to curl up on her Bio mag (from all us kids) and a flick through my album.
Love you mum, we all had the best weekend ever, and its all down to you!!
