Love You Mom!

Yes - I know.... I already made a card for my Mom.  But since I have missed sending her Mother's Day  cards in the past, I figured maybe I could double up to make up for lost time.  Or just send it now and tell her to hold on to it until next year in case I forget again.  Ha ha.

She really is the best Mom.  We talk for hours on the phone only ending the conversation when my cell phone battery dies.  Until I got into card making, I was horrible at remembering to send cards but she always forgave me.  She even forgave me from sneaking all the spoonfuls of peanut butter as a kid and leaving the spoons under the sofa for months on end.  I think she's still working on forgiving me for crushing lipstick into the antique oriental carpet from her grandmother, but she has at least moved on to other things....

So all I can say is Happy Mother's Day (a little early 'cuz I'm sure I'll forget to call you)!

The papers are a combination including Colorbok and Recollections.  The doily was cut on my Cricut using an SVG file from the 'net and the sentiment stamp is from Close to My Heart (buy it here).
