This site is a tribute to my beautiful and most precious Mum who left us too soon. Mum suffered with Rheumatoid Arthritis since the age of 16, and as a result of her treatment for the disease also suffered from Osteoporosis. She underwent many operations for broken bones, deformed feet, fingers, toes and ended up being unable to weight-bear and use her hands. Despite these disabilities, she managed to raise two daughters and become an amazing Mother and a loving Wife to my Dad. I am still struggling to cope with such a loss, and feel my life will never be the same. I will never understand how a life can just disappear into thin air. I feel the need to keep Mums memory alive in some way and let the world know how amazing she was. I therefore started this tribute page in her memory to raise money for NRAS (National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society).

Despite Mum suffering so much with her illness, she always had a happy disposition and passion for making crafts, and just wanted to make things for others to also make them happy. I want to carry this on for Mum in her honour, and raise money to give children and young adults going through the same pains as Mum, the ability and opportunity to make crafts to help keep their painful hands supple. By donating to NRAS it will contribute to making this happen.

My Mums strength and happiness through pain and suffering was an inspiration to me and the rest of my family, and now I want to pass that on to others. I will use the creativity that Mum passed on to me to continue creating crafts to sell in her memory, and to inspire others to be creative and not let illness deprive them of happiness.

Thank you for visiting this site.
