Mother's Day

Last weekend was Mother’s Day. In my boxes of treasured keepsakes I’ve preserved an assortment of Mother’s Day presents - cards, paper flowers, handprints and the list goes on. They take me back to another place – another time in life that is now a precious memory. I especially remember my Mom this week and how special she was. She liked soft, delicate things and pastel colors – especially pink. She had a collection of china cups and saucers and a collection of Precious Moments figures. Every once in a while I run across a digiscrap kit that reminds me of things she would like and colors that would be perfect for her.

This was made with Whisper of Spring by Cindy Ritter. The lavendar is one of the perfect Mom colors.

I did is one some time ago - but again the colors are so perfect for my Mom...

Mostly from "A Hanky for Mom" by Helen Ehernhofer; Green ribbon from Whispering Meadows by Britany Fergeson; Little pink flowers from Beauty by Kristin Cronin-Barrow

Of course, Mother’s Day is also a time for enjoying my family. We have three grown children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law and one grandson. They are all fabulous and remembered me with cards, flowers and phone calls. I’m really proud of all of them! This photo was taken last summer when we were all together at Tricia’s. Since we are such a scattered group it is quite an accomplishment to get everyone together and it doesn’t happen as often as I would like. But when we manage to pull it off we have a delightful time!!This is another one I made with Whisper of Spring by Cindy Ritter.

Last weekend we went to visit Tricia, Jesse and Aaron for Mother’s Day and had such a great time. Aaron is such fun. We all took lots of photos so I’ll be working on new Aaron LO’s soon.

I better sign off for now – I’ve gotta work on those new pages of Aaron!

Hope you are having a wonderful day – be sure to laugh a little!
