Mother's Day

Hello, I just wanted to let everybody know that I am running a Mother's Day sale on my Etsy store (all items will be shipped free). So if any of you know a mom to be or you are a mom to be, come check it out.

One Mothers Day

I can remember when I was much younger and I knew Mothers Day was coming up soon. I had to think of something perfect because mom is so special to me.

As a little girl, I knew that all girls like flowers, and hearts, and pretty designs. So I took a piece of paper and drew all that I could imagine on it (although my skill of drawing at the time was that of a little kid). But that wasn't enough, I also had to tell mom how much she meant to me. So I took another piece of paper, and filled it with "I love You Mom". I loved both sheets of paper, but it really wasn't much of a gift (it was just two sheets of paper). So I got creative - I took the two sheets of paper and filled them with Kleenex, and stapled the border all the way around. Perfect, a pillow that I knew my mom would love; and it would look so beautiful on her bed.

I gave it to mom and she was just as happy to get it as I thought she would be :) I don't think my mom ever slept on it, and I don't remember it ever being on her bed - but, she still had it in her hope chest the last time I was looking in it.

I was truly blessed by that story. My mom has gone on hme to be with the Lord 4 years this year, but it made me realize how much she meant to me.

Isn't it just so sweet what mother's keep? I have a big box full of little things that others may think are silly, but my babies made them and I can't imagine ever parting with them!
