Mother's Day is coming!

Mothers can look through a child's eyes and see tomorrow.
Mother's deserve the credit for raising value based leaders who accept responsibility;
who possess physical, mental and spiritual strength;
who possess courage, and confidence; and look with optimism to the future.
Great mothers help their children to recognize that they can achieve the impossible.
Great mothers bring the arms of comfort to an insecure child in the world of uncertainty.
Reed Markham, American Educator

Being a mom is the hardest job in the world.  Moms are responsible for - raising our future!  Hardest job in the world?  I think so! But, definitely the BEST job in the world!

In honor of all of the mothers out there trying their hardest to make sure their children have everything they need to grow up to be strong, independent, responsible adults.  I recognize and respect every mother that takes this job seriously and truly puts everything they can into doing their best at this extremely important job, especially given the world we live in today, where distractions are so much easier to come by.  Please check out this video...


Did you know?  The most important popular flower on mother's day is the carnation!  It is the symbol of honor and respect on mother's special day.  To all of you wonderful, caring and loving mothers out there - you know who you are...

Happy Mother's Day!

Yesterday I said that I would be featuring Mother's Day cards for the rest of the week.  Now, all of these cards could be used for just about any occasion.  Unfortunately, being a new demonstrator and not having an unlimited amount of money to spend, I don't have a Mother's Day stamp, so you could really use any stamp you want on these.  Here is card #1 for Mother's Day...


Paper: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Everyday Enchantment DSP
Ink: Soft Suede (for distressing), Riding Hood Red
Stamps: Best Yet (Retired), Mixed Bunch
Accessories: BIG SHOT!, Perfect Polka Dots and Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Extra Large Oval punch, Blossom punch, 3/4" circle punch, antique brads, Riding Hood Red 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon

Don't forget to come back tomorrow to check out my nest Mother's Day card!  Until then...
