Change in life circumstances

Hi all life has dealt me a cruel hand at the moment.  On the 3rd February my little boy was diagnosed type 1 diabetes.   He is 8 years of age and insulin dependant for rest of his life.  Although we adjusting have a lot to learn.  Therefore I have decided to give up my job and my studying at moment as my care training was linked with work.  I feel being here for my little boy is more important.

The plus side to this I can get back to making my cards earlier than anticipated so as from next week I will be back sharing my crafting creations with you all.  If I am being truly honest I have missed the crafting world.
