my child inchies


The theme for my April inchie swap, as set by Jo, is children. Here are my inchies. The collage images are by inka and are available to buy here, however Inka has a free sample of these images to download here.

the word is taken from Inka's large collage word stamp.

I chose the word "hope" as I think that sums up what having children is about. When they are born you hope that they will be healthy with ten fingers and toes, then you hope that tonight will be the night they sleep through. Your hopes change as they get older, but you are always hoping for something, that they will make friends, do well, be happy. I think as a parent that hope is one of the strongest emotions we have for our children
