~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.

All I am I owe to my mother.

I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."

George Washington

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was looking for a good quote to share about moms and when I found this one, I just started crying because it is *completely* how I feel about my mom.

She is one of those kind of moms who comes to visit and cleans the house, makes cookies with the kids and then takes you out for a little shopping and coffee, as the icing on the cake of the day.

My mom is THE MOST CREATIVE PERSON I KNOW. PERIOD.

She taught me how to sew when I was a little girl, and bought me my own purple sewing machine when I came home with straight A's on my report card. (I sewed a blanket for my cat!)

She can seriously do everything. She can sew, paint, draw, embroider, decorate cakes, embellish the heck out of anything, decorate like nobody's business, throw a grand party, and the list goes on and on and on and on. She has the best ideas of anyone I know.

She is also the very best Grammy any kid could EVER want! I swear! She takes our kids every summer for a whole week to "Grammy Camp". They all spend a week together in the mountains at her cabin taking hikes, making crafts, campfires, pine needle sledding, bird watching and just getting dirty!

She spoils each of our kids, which is what grammas are made for, right? They always know they can call Grammy with any kind of news and know she completely understands.

Like most moms and daughters we have had our share of ups and downs. But I can HAPPILY say that we have shared SOOO many more ups than downs. My mom has always been supportive of our decisions and when we fail, she's totally there to help us pick up our broken pieces.

I know this is getting a little longish, but I just wanted to share with the world that I really do love my mom and I know I am lucky to have such an incredibly loving and talented mom.

Happy Mother's Day MOM! I love you so much!!!!!

xoxo

Happy Mother's Day! I just received an order this week from your etsy shop, and wanted you to know how pleased I am with everything. This is the second time I've ordered from you and it's always a delight opening the box. Everything is so gorgeous! I want you to know that your efforts are appreciated.

Hi Analise. You and your Mother are both beautiful people. Thanks for putting this together today. My Mom is coming over for champagne shortly and I'm going to show her all the blog about moms (including hers). Have a great day. Di
