My mum has been in hospital for nearly four weeks after being suddenly struck by a serious illness but she is recovering really well and will hopefully be back home soon - a huge relief for all of us.
I live a couple of hours away so in between visits I’ve
sent her a few things in the post, including a get well card that I made in
haste and forgot to take a photo of.
This is the second get well card I made, or rather that
my ten month old daughter made. We go to a class occasionally called ‘Baby
Picasso’ that is basically hand and foot painting with some messy play as well.
There is a theme each week and we have the opportunity to make one picture or
card or other item (before Christmas for instance we did tree decorations)
using hand prints and one using foot prints.
It gets quite messy - you have to put paint on your
baby’s hand or foot and then stop them wiping it on themselves or you before you
are able to get them to place it flat on a piece of paper! Then the other
details and embellishments are added by the parent, as this particular class is
for pre-walkers so the babies are too young to do it themselves.
The theme this week was birds, and my little girl made a
picture of two robins sitting on branches with handprints in paint.
I decided to turn it into a card so when we got home I
glued the picture onto a blank card and had a think about a suitable sentiment.
The phrase ‘a little bird told me’ sprang to mind straight away then the rest
followed and seemed perfect for a get well card - ‘you’re not feeling so
chirpy’! I wrote the sentiments on the
computer and stuck them on the front of the card and inside printed ‘get well
soon’.
I gave my mum the card when I went to visit a couple of
days later addressed to granny from my daughter - she really liked it and
hopefully it helped cheer her up a little bit!
I'm sharing this with the following craft blog challenges: The Male Room - nature (this card would work for a man easily!)
