Grief is such a journey. You obviously love your Mom. Sending you virtual hugs and understanding. My Mom passed nearly 14 years ago and I still miss her. We talk about her daily especially since her great grandchild has her spunk!

[@IngridBlackburn]

I love that!! Thanks for the hug. While the day to day has gotten easier, I find myself talking about her all the time. I don't expect that to go away. Love that your grandkiddos has that spunk!! What a blessing to be able to see that. Much love!! 😘

Ingrid, I just wanted to thank you for sharing about your mother to hear you speak about her life made me feel connected to her and you. My mom passed away in 2011 at the age of 59. She to was an artist with a rough childhood. She is always my inspiration. I shed some tears with you for both our dear mothers and have now subscribed to your channel I really love your style. I am new at crafting and mixed media. I do 24hr care of my disabled Dad and I have severe fibromyalgia among other issues but am trying not to stop me so I can only do a few steps at a time. Soon I'll have something to show for it but I'm enjoying the process each step I do finish makes me feel good. Sorry to ramble on. Thanks for sharing your inspiring video. I look forward to watching your channel. 😊❤️

Welcome Amber. I didn't mean to make you cry, but glad you also had a moment to remember her for yourself too. Remembering is loving, right? Helps me to get through moments like this. I'm glad you found your way to mixed media. I think you'll find it's a great way to pour your heart into your art. Let it all go on the canvas. I'm sure caring for your father takes a lot of time, and that's time well spent. Few steps at a time, is absolutely fine. Your time, your art. I'm honored you're a part of our little community here. Anytime you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments and hopefully a chat on live someday soon. Thanks for taking a few moments in your day to watch and leave a comment. I appreciate it. 😘🎨

Thank you and wishing you joy and inspiration.

I love your mix media projects 😍

[@IngridBlackburn]

Thank you Estela! I appreciate you watching and commenting. This one I took a bit apart after and will be finishing on a separate live. It wasn't drying so couldn't do a few things there towards the end. Stay tuned!! 😘😁🎨

[@estelalozdon6096]

It happens but I think that's the exciting part of art 🙂. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[@reneeallen1118]

Ingrid, a big, warm virtual hug to you. I’m caring for my mom who has dementia and I cherish each (well, most 🙊) moment with her.

[@IngridBlackburn]

Thanks you Renee. That moment was a bit unexpected. Big hug to you as well. Definitely cherish those moments. You have the memories which is all what matters, I'm glad you have time to spend with her. Much love. ❤️

[@sandraboyer5060]

Welcome Sandra, nice to have you as part of our community. I'm excited to offer inspiring stories and art to get you creating. 😘😁🎨

[@reddycomputerclasses]

Don’t apologise for grieving for your mum and honouring her in your art! I lost my mum many years ago and still miss her.

[@IngridBlackburn]

I don't think we'll ever not miss them, right? Remembering is loving. Little moments like this catch me off guard, but then it makes it all that much more special, right? Thanks for watching and leaving a few comments. 😘🎨

[@sallysirmons6219]

[@IngridBlackburn]

Thanks for leaving me a comment Sally. She was a special woman to us. I miss her. Glad I can make her a piece of most of my art works. She would have loved that. 😁🎨❤️
