Happy Mothers Day!!!

Every Day should matter for not just mom but for everyone. I made this Mother's Day card to share on my blog today just to let everyone know that you matter, are loved and good thoughts are being sent your way. I made my card using Teresa Collins "Everyday Moments" paper pad and sticker sheet.

The flowers are fussy cut from the paper and they along with the sticker sentiment were placed on pop dots. I placed the larger flower I cut out on to a 2" and 2 1/2" circle. On the center of the flowers I placed a pit of Ocean Flower Soft using a little dab of Scotch Quick Glue. The "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment is from a rub on that I had. I hope everyone has had a blessed Mothers Day - I know I have. I would like to end my post with the sentiments that were in a card I received from my dear niece Tanja. Tanja lived with us all of her teenage years, became a part of our family and we look at her as a daughter more than a niece, she has always been a blessing to our family and we love her dearly.

"Things I Learned From My Mom"

What I learned from Mom

Where do I start:

It's like a book

that's written on my heart,

and wherever I go in life, 

it guides me in ways

I bet she doesn't 

even realize.

 First of all, I learned that 

sometimes a hug 

can say more than words.

And that I could trust myself

as I began to make my way 

in the world,

because I was standing on the solid foundation

she gave me.

I learned 

that strength comes 

from standing up 

and doing what's right,

even if sometimes 

you stand alone.

 that excuses

don't  work

(no matter how many good ones

I came up with!)

I learned that success 

comes from trying, failing, 

and trying again, not from everything 

being perfect all the time.

That kindness 

counts more than 

getting ahead. 

That times may change,

but the important 

things don't.

I Learned

that no matter

where I am, there's someone who cares

and believes in me. 

And I learned 

that there really are

angels on this earth... because my mom 

is one of them.
