mom, mama, mommy, mama dear, my lady...
just a few of the things I am called at home...these names float around here like music---I love being a mama even on the days that are more trying than others...motherhood is rewarding, sweet, spiritual, essential, tiring, heart wrenching, frustrating, wonderful, unconditional, selfless, and the best thing to ever happen to me. My heart is so full and I am so thankful.
Now....please, oh please...typepad is causing me grief---so I'll have to try this a bit different tonight.
This first project features the little lady of our house when she was just a couple of years younger----nope---she is not squatting to do any sort of business although is appears that way---she's just crouching to rest her weary little legs. I created this for Provo Craft this month using several of their Solutions cartridges. I used the following: Indie Art, Stone Script, Home Accents, and Street Sign.
The next little item is a just for fun project----I was in the mood to dig into my Webster's Pages stash---love the patterns and colors of all of their paper. The tag and sticker are from Amy Butler and K&Co., trim from Prima, rubon from Crate Paper, and pearls from Martha Stewart.
I think that's all I'll attempt to post tonight---I may end up throwing a little tantrum if I loose this post for the 5th time---so wish me luck.
Here are the pics----night girls!

I love the card! Where did you find the silver flower that you put by their feet! I don't think I have ever seen anything like it!
Much Love,
