Tyler

Evening peeps

What a nightmare the last couple of days have been.  My son rang at 1.30 on Sunday morning in a right state.  One of the other lads at uni thought it would be funny to put posters up everywhere with my son's phone number on them.  Of course, after lots of phone calls, my son got frustrated and smashed up his phone.  I would not say this is funny, it's more like bullying.  The whole place has been in chaos since they moved in.  I just hope that it settles down once they get over the freedom that not having parents around brings.

It's his 19th Birthday on Friday, so we are going to meeting up in the evening and have something to eat, hopefully we can cheer him up a bit.


This card is what I have made him.  The digital stamp is called Prince Charming from The Paper Shelter and I have coloured him using Copics and ProMarkers.

White card stock
