He is recovering from having a brain tumour operation.

Tatty Teddy with Love

It's late here in Adelaide, hubby and the 3 grandchildren are fast asleep and I've sat up to make my card for tonight. Our son and DIL went to a music festival where they have quite a few bands going on different stages at the same time so we've had the kids since about  11 a.m. and as the concert went till late I offered for them to stay as they would have been already asleep. Poor Layla missed out making a card today as I was still deciding on what to make for Monday's DT card.- took me a while to get it done and photographed as the light was coming from the wrong angle.
Our youngest daughter thought it was funny that I had been doing teddy bear cards, so just for her I chose to do another one tonight!!!
Here it is.....
