happy birthday mom!!

it was my mom's birthday last week, and i had to wait until i gave her present to her to blog about it (ya know, since she reads my blog). here it all is, i hope she's happy with it. i told her i was making her tyvek stuff, but didn't tell her what. and the pattern was a surprise as well. enjoy mom! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

...

scripture covers, one for her bible and one for her triple combination.

a new coin pouch and wallet

the coin pouch features a zipper change pocket in the back ... oooooo fancy!!

a new makeup bag with matching mirror (she's been needing one of these, her old one was one of the first ones i ever made ... the design was hand drawn on with permanent markers and it wasn't lined) this was her one request. all the others were surprises.

mom, this one's for you!

mom, i love you.

...

you're gorgeous on the inside and on the out!! thank goodness for your genes.

...

i never realized what it *really* means to be a mom until this year.

...

you're the best in the entire world!!! if i can grow up to be half the woman you are ... well i can only dream.

...

thank you for being a work-at-home-mom so that you were home when we needed you.

...

thank you for being an excellent example of what i should strive to be as a mother. your example in every area of your life has always shown me how to be.

...

you've taught me so much, from the little things (i.e. wear a skirt to a church function when you're in a leadership position) to the bigger things (i.e. family comes first)

...

i know you have a strong testimony in the church because i see how you live your life. i know you read the scriptures because i've seen you read them everyday. i know you pray everyday because i've seen you. i know you love dad because i've seen how you treat him. i know you love me because of how you treat me.

...

everything that i am is because of you, and everything that i am not is because of me.

...

thank you for your example on what a mom should be.

...

happy mother's day!! mom, you're the best i could ever dream of.

...

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
