LOAD 9 and 10 Mother's Day and Birthday

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Birthday to me. Yep - two in one today. But the hubby did good and found ways to celebrate BOTH days in one. They made me breakfast in bed (i snuck a quiet shower in while KK stirred the pancakes and had to pretend like i was still sleeping so she could wake me up) and they planted 3 flower baskets for me. I enjoyed thoroughly my Cinderella and Mickey Mouse Cards that she picked out for me (even though they said to Grandma on them). And my pink pasta braclet wrapped in wrapping paper fashioned by KK herself. The day was complete with a Mother's day supper for my mom and a cookie cake and brownies for my birthday. And, a gift card for an hour massage and pedicure from my kids and husband. so, i'd say he gets an A for the day!
Karlie k said i couldn"t work today _ expect for working on my scrapbook! SWEET! and she worked with me on Nana's projects. She worked for an hour on a scrapbook page for Nana. it was so precious and she had to do it all by herself. complete with Cinderella picture and all. she wanted to trash it after she made a mistake so we had a great talk about how there are no mistakes in art and we fixed it right up.
and for my mom - I bought her an orchid. and made her a card that said Exquisite MOM on the front and the inside read:
Strong & BOLD Yet Beautiful Delicate & Pure Unique An orchid A mother YOU
Happy 31st Mother’s Day. Thank you for giving me life and teaching me how to live.
(she got a kick out of the 31st Mother's day - since she brought me home from the hospital on mother's day) anyway here are the LO's. enjoy.

LOAD 10: Forcing myself to tackle the "baby book" from the first pregnancy! This is a poem my mother wrote me when she found out I was pregnant. It is about me learning that it was okay to "fly" on the swings as a kid and that I would be a great mother because I already knew how to fly. Very sweet.Credits: CS (Blue, Navy, & Orange, Bazzill) Chipboard Corner (Shapes, Bazzill) Journal Tag (Memory Boutique)
