Some of you may remember this post.
With Mother's day coming up ~ I thought I'd drop some hints. Guess what? It worked! For Mother's Day Johanna bought the bird pincushion for me. I love it!
Mark, Katie & Mandy made an Etsy gift certificate for me. I can't wait to do some shopping with it. I think I'll spend some time browsing tonight! Mandy also gave me some beautiful flowers ~ I forgot to take pictures of them ~ but they were wonderful! She bought several bunches of flowers and put together three different arrangements ~ one for the living room, one for the bedroom and one for my office!! Update! Mandy just informed me that Katie & Mark were givers of the flowers too! Thank you!!
I also got some wonderful photos for Mother's Day. Joe put together this fun "then and now" piece for me (Joe & Jo also gave me a 5x7 with my 3 grandbabies ~ it's already on my desk at work), and Jacqi (the photographer) and Kevin gave me this wonderful collage of grandbaby photos.
Katie cut silhouettes of the babies for me. I love the background paper she used!
But I think my most favorite gift was the visit with my Mom. It's been over 25 years since we spent Mother's Day together ~ we had a splendid time!
Hmmmm......next month is my birthday......I may need to "drop" some hints again!
Hooray for good hints...and children who pick up on them.
ReplyDeleteI wish my mom would give me hints like that. Her birthday is two weeks before mother's day, so every year we go through the grand powwow -- dad, sis and I brainstorm to try and figure out the perfect gift(s).
I'm glad your family spoiled you so wonderfully.
Ooooo-an Etsy gift certificate. That's a super gift! I love the picture of you and your Mom. So much love in your eyes. I'm so glad you had a happy Mother's Day! (Aren't grown children wonderful!!!!)
