Aunts and Bookthongs

I have been busy over the last few days making various gifts for aunts and cousins. I am driving down to Plymouth to see my Aunt Joyce and cousin Tracy next week. My Aunt's Leukemia has returned with a vengeance and I wanted to make her something special to cheer her up. I made her a get well card from various stampin' up stamps, watercolour pencils and whisper pens. Many years ago when she lived in Hong Kong my Aunt Joyce bought me a beautiful Jade bracelet, so in line with that wonderful memory, I made her a jade bookthong too as she does a lot of reading when she is in hospital receiving treatment. I also made a matching pillow box to put it in.



I also made Tracy a bookthong together with a little pillow box.


Another of my aunt's lost her son a short time ago, and she has been having a tough time ever since. Shortly after my cousin Antony passed away, a butterfly flew into my aunt's house, and she firmly believes it was her son's spirit coming to tell her he was ok. So while I was making gifts for my Aunt Joyce and cousin Tracy, I made a special butterfly bookthong for my Aunt Theresa.
