I have 2 seconds...then need to kick it in gear today :) I've got my mom and motherhood on the brain lately....2 very beautiful things, don't you think? Mother's Day is quickly approaching, so....you may find a few posts in the next little while all about this topic.....truly one of my most favorite things to reminisce about and enjoy. You see, I've always wanted to be a mommy....now I get to be one....and I LOVE my job and my little boss. I also just happen to have the sweetest mother ever created :)
I created this for the Tattered Angels blog....I used a fun technique involving a Glimmer Screen, Glimmer Mist and fabric for my background....all of the details can be found HERE. LOVE the beautiful Glimmer Chips all shabbied up and of course, the sweet, vintage image in the background is another Creative Scrap from Crafty Secrets....quite addicting, I must admit.
I'll leave you with another little something to warm your heart and enlighten your mind today...then I get to tackle some household junk :)....I love my job, remember.
Maybe I've been put on earth
to be an ordinary person.
Not to do anything great,
but to do something small
that involves great love.
Anonymous Mother
We are all ordinary, aren't we...but we can certainly do amazing things with our hearts full of love and hands willing to share that love. So many special people come in and out of our lives...I want to hang on to them and never let them go :)
Enjoy today!

such a lovely sentiment, i often feel a little down on myself and my ability to be something extra special, but you know something, i'm such a great mum, i do such a great job with my girls, our relationship is so close, positive, happy, realistic and caring, i guess that means i am something special!
Oh and love the card!!
