Made in the old fashioned way

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well. Here's a few hugs if you want or need them {{{{{hugs}}}}}

I have had several enquiries about how Stephen is getting on, thank you for asking, it's lovely to know that people care :o)

Stephen is now walking without his stick and goes out every day for a couple of hours, sometimes longer. I would love to know where he goes but he can't tell me as he still cannot talk very well. He has lots of words now but is still not able to put them together to make sentences. His arm is still paralysed but he does now get tiny flutterings in his hand and he can move one finger just a tiny little bit. This is such a great step for him :o)

Meantime, what does my title mean? Well, whilst I was looking for something else, I found my box of brass stencils and light box so I decided to have a play with them and here is the result :o)

My own photograph of course, taken at a farm in Spondon in September 2007.

I used brass stencil, ball tool and light box for the embossing. It doesn't show up too well on here but it looks fine IRL.

All white card used is linen from Papermill Direct and brown card is from PDA cardcraft.

Martha Stewart edge punch used on brown mat.

Sentiment is from a Stamps and Smiles set. 

Did you know that in South America, Llamas are trained so that they can be taken into hospitals to visit patients? They are said to be very therapeutic :o)
