Mother's Day

I know, I know....

I'm so behind on blogging.

But, I wanted to tell you about my Mother's Day.



The highlights:

...breakfast in bed, including pancakes and eggs made by my eldest
child and served w/ everything you could ever possibly need to eat!

...a card, hand-signed by each of my beautiful children.
And check it out.....Marinne has signed U *heart* I on the left side.

Then, she wrote it again on the envelope.
(umm...is anyone as amazed by this as I am? You know she's only 3!)

Her dad tells me that when he asked her to sign the card, he told her to sign her name and she did it purposefully, then she told him she wrote I love you. Could be a coincidence, I suppose.
But, she did it twice.
I just don't think it can be a coincidence, do you?


And my wonderful gifts included this:
(for bad day mommy emergencies!!)


And I also go these:
Logan picked them out. Aren't they just beautiful?!?! And for the bummer part of my Mother's Day.....

...my dad and Janet sent me a beautiful card the week before Mother's Day. Everyday, she kept asking if it had shown up. And everyday, it did not. Finally, about 13 days after Mother's Day...it showed up in a clear bag from the US Postal Service, apologizing for the condition of it.

I was so upset. Here's my card....what's left of it, anyway...
...and I suppose the postal service wants a cookie for actually figuring out the rest of my address and delivering it to me, anyway. Well, they won't be getting any awards from me. I think they suck.

Not only that, but I find it ironic that she sent it right before they raised the postal rates another 2 cents per piece of mail. Because, the service is so great.......

Anyway (stopping rant now)....
My Mother's Day was GREAT!!!!!!!

I took a nap and all in all...it was the perfect day!!

Janet's Mother's Day Card

I am completely in love with this card. It's made out of WorldWin Papers Cascata (which is a felted cardstock) and Inkjet Vellum, which I have inked w/ a Blue Iris ColorBox Cat's Eye Chalk Ink. And the leaves are inked in Moss.
(thanks alot Jamie, for my addiction...and now I can't find them anywhere near me! Between that and my Stickles addiction...I am poor!
Ha! Ha! Ha!)


Here's the flower close-up. This is really breathtaking IRL, but it's so hard to get good pictures of it. The flowers are made out of 2 of The Paper Studio scallop circle punches and the leaves are free-hand cut.
Oh, and before I gave it to her, I changed the tag to say Janet.
(which is what I call her....her real name.)

But, she is my Mom. My BONUS Mom. She has such a good heart. She loves my children. We are very lucky to have her. And I love her....
