Photo Blankets
« on: January 24, 2019, 02:27:29 PM »
My children are having a photo blanket designed for their very elderly Mum, as a present for my birthday, yesterday. I was asked to select some photos, 15 in all, to display on the blanket, which I have done. Our eldest girl is sending them off to the company, https://photoblankets.co.uk/ which I had not heard of before. They also do duvet covers and sheets.

I thought people on this forum might be interested as it makes for a gift with a difference.

I suppose that I might have a blanket supporting an image of Marilyn Monroe ... then I could sleep with her every night.   ::) :-\ 8)

It's good you're having a blanket rather than a duvet cover because you can use it as a throw over a bed & it will last a long time; a duvet cover would need to be washed regularly which would spoil it sooner rather than later. Nice! Your children are thoughtful.

Happy birthday for a couple of days ago. Hope your injury is well recovered and husband OK.

Thanks Robbie. :) I go to the fracture clinic on Monday afternoon. I am hoping against hope they will say my shoulder is healed well enough for me to drive again.

Thanks. :) I really, really hope I can drive again, I feel so bad about having to rely on mainly our eldest girl when I need taking anywhere, especially as the fracture is down to my own stupidity. >:(

Our eldest girl has just brought round my photo blanket, a birthday pressie from my three lovely daughters, which was constructed in Poland. I am absolutely THRILLED with it. :) :) :)

It is a pity I am unable to display it on this forum.

I googled and looked at some just now and they are quite charming; obviously the pictures weren't of you and yours but I got the drift.  I wouldn't mind a London scene.

Photograph it, upload the photograph to Flickr or some other photo-sharing site, then post the link on here.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Oliphant, I think LR means that she doesn't want pictures of herself and family made public.

LR you don't have to have your daughter driving you everywhere, you can hire a cab.

I had some of my artwork stolen once when I displayed it on a site of that nature, I have been advised not to use them.

I have never hired a taxi in my life, besides which I can now drive, when it is safe to do so once the snow has cleared properly.

Taxis are an essential local service. I could not get about the way I do without them. People say they are expensive, but compare it against the cost of running a car - and it's way down.
