My mother was a wonderful woman and a dear friend. This will be a sad first Mother's Day without her. After she died last summer, while we were cleaning out her home, I came across a box of cards I had made for her for various occasions over the years. This Mother's Day card was among them.
My mom never wanted a fuss made over her, and on this particular year she insisted that we should not send flowers. So, instead, I made this card for her with this verse inside:
You said, "Don't send me flowers!"
So what were we to do?
We couldn't picture Mother's Day
Without blossoms for you.
So here's a little bouquet
With flowers that won't grow old,
Sent with all the loving thoughts
A little card can hold.
She loved it, and every year after that, we insisted upon a real bouquet for her.
Miss you, Mom.
I couldn't resist posting this picture of my buddy, Kristy. She loves to curl up on our sofa pillows and grabs any chance she can to take a snooze. At 15 years plus, she's getting old,but still looks like a young cat, with her big ears and little body. 
Here I am again, with another fused bouquet! These flowers were hand cut from polished cotton backed with Wonder Under. The crisp fabric was a joy to cut. 
I'm remembering happy times with my Mom, and wishing all the wonderful moms who read this a very happy Mothers Day! Raising children is the most important job in the world, and we all deserve a special day! Here's to us!!!
