Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day. I hope all you lovely Mum's out there are having a fabby day and are being spoilt. .
It has been a week of lots of work and lots of celebrating here as I needed to have a birthday and a wedding anniversary .. .. and now Mother's Day all in the space of less than a week.
The London Kids came last weekend and we did lots of celebrating with them too. Not looking forward to stepping on the scales tomorrow!! But hey .. .. life is for enjoying isn't it!!!
We have been off to my lovely Mum this morning before my brother came to collect her and this was the card I made for her .. .. super early this morning!! Well it felt early with having to put the clocks forward.
Mum certainly didn't have any problem finding a heart that's for sure.
As I have been harping on about my Mum for over a year now I thought it might be nice for you to finally meet her (I did ask her this morning if she would mind .. .. and she was fine with it).
This is a picture I took of her at the start of this year. Doesn't she look fabulous for 88! She has never been a sun worshiper and I think that is why her skin is so lovely and pretty much "wrinkle free". I never spend a lot of time in the sunshine either so I am hoping I might follow in her footsteps.
Certainly this time last year she didn't look anything like this .. .. she was one very poorly lady. But thankfully she is made of strong stuff and we managed to "rear her" and are lucky to be able to spend more happy days with her making special memories. Happy Mother's Day Mum xx So happy it isn't this time last year!
Anyway, my card for Mum was made using lots of snippets that were piled up from having a wedding invitation cutting session. All the flowers and leaves .. .. and even the jar, cut perfectly from some of the narrow strips. I probably have enough piled up to make a few hundred of these cards LOL!!
So as there has been a culling of "a few" snippets I am running over to Pixie's Snippets Playground to see if the sun is shining and anyone is up for a go on the see-saw.
Hoping for a much less stressful week this week as last week was very hectic .. .. and hopefully a more active blog too .. .. especially as I have a forfeit to pay for not posting a Christmas card last week!!!
Anyway that is me for today .. .. but before I go can you remember the "happy couple" who had to cancel their wedding just before Christmas because the groom was taken into hospital .. .. well they finally got married yesterday! Yay!! .. .. .. and the weather was just perfect for them. I can't wait to see some photographs.
Such a pretty card, Jules - I'll bet your mum loved it. Sounds like things have been super-busy for you. Hugs xx

Beautiful mother's day card Jules, your vase of flowers are so lovely and the colours are fabulous. Your mum is certainly a lovely looking lady and it's so good that her health has improved xx
ReplyDeleteHello Jules! It has been a pleasure to meet your mother, she is very beautiful and her skin is fabulous, she looks much younger! The card you prepared is adorable, it has very sweet colors, I'm sure you liked it a lot!
ReplyDeleteA kiss
Oh I'm so sorry for not answering sooner, I didn't get this post in my blog-list ! What a wonderful picture of your mother, she's a lovely lady ! And your card is so beautiful ! In Belgium, Mothers Day is on August 15th. I can't make a Mothers Day card anymore, my mother died more than 30 years ago.... so enjoy every day you have with your mother ! Hugs, Enny
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet your mom! She certainly does look fabulous! So happy to hear she's doing well. Lovely card! Always nice when you can use up those bits, isn't it? Pretty colours too.
ReplyDeleteYour Mother's Day card is just beautiful Jules and I have to say that your mother is just as beautiful as well! No, one would ever know she was 88, she looks wonderful! Some get great genes and of course the way we take care of our skin makes a difference as well. Looks like your mother has both great genes and has taken care of her skin by staying out of the sun. Hope you get the great genes as well my friend! Hugs, Brenda
