I can finally post this since all the mama's in our family have opened their gifts! I made 10x10 press printed books and absoltely love how they came out!
You can view the pages here :
I used Tina's awesome ABC Templates, all her designs seriously rock! You can get them here:
I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! Mine was fabulous! I got to sleep in on Saturday, saw an awesome sunset, had homemade (by the hubster) french toast on Sunday, cards and flowers from the kids (macro shots coming) and Willow Tree mother statues. I didn't have to cook a single meal or change a single diaper all day yesterday! So nice to have a break! Ty and I even got to slip away for awhile and do a little shooting.
And thank you to everyone who contacted me about the Mothers Day Slideshow posted below! It was so amazing to hear from so many of you! All the emails and phone calls mean so much! And I must confess, I'm thrilled a few of you shed a few happy tears! It really warmed my heart to see so many amazing mothers all together! Moms rock!
I LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my ABC book! Taryn and I both giggled looking at it! It ranks right up there with my other all time favorite Mother's Day Gift. One year Lyndsay made me a box full of little slips of paper sayings of all the reasons why she loved me. Some samples are "because you always stood back and let me make my own mistakes and then helped me learn from them"...."because you've shown me that being a single mom can turn out good - just look at what you did with me!"...."because you have always loved to read and that set a good example for me".... The box held dozens and dozens of sweet sayings and memories. It cost her almost nothing and is one of the most valuable gifts I ever received. Now my ABC book is another gift full of love that I will always treasure.
Thank you, Lyndsay, for my two wonderful grandchildren who I couldn't imagine my life without and thank you, too, for how you always put so much thought into your gift giving.
I love you, Lynds!
