I wish my mood matched the sparkling little cat, but at the moment I could do with some cheer. I made the cat for my youngest daughter who turns 12 tomorrow- the time has flown. Next week my eldest daughter turns 16, again where has the time gone? Tomorrow I have to be up bright and early and be cheerful as I have a 12 year old busting to be a teen! She adores cats and loves the colour pink.

It breaks my heart to hear that your middle daughter doesn't want to be a part of the family. But, tomorrow is your youngest's day and nothing should cast a shadow on her. I hope the day is as sparkly as the wonderful cat.
Dijanne, I feel much the same but for a different reason, as you know. Sometimes it's just to so difficult to get through these times and maintain a smiling face when we're sad and broken inside. At least we have our art and out creations - I know mine are really important to me when I feel like nothing much else is going well. At least I can lose myself in my work.
Hugs,
Shirley

You are such a busy lady Dijanne and for such people time does seem to fly. But just imagine if you didn't have these pleasurable things to do how time would drag? I can't imagine anything worse. I hope you and your new teenagaer have a great day.
Hugs
