Hello Stampin’ Friends, and Happy Mother’s Day!

As Mother’s Day dawns, it’s a time of mixed emotions for many of us. Today, I find myself reflecting on the cherished memories of my own dear Mom and Grandma, who now reside in the heavens above. Though they may be physically absent, their presence lingers in my heart, especially on this day dedicated to celebrating motherhood.

In the tapestry of life, new threads are woven with each passing generation. Today, I honor not only the mothers who came before me but also the ones who walk alongside me now – my daughters and granddaughters, nurturing and guiding their own children with love and grace. These are my lovely daughters and great Mom’s ….

Yet, amidst the joy, there is also sorrow. My thoughts are with my granddaughter Cassie, navigating her first Mother’s Day without her precious son Armani. To all mothers who carry the weight of loss in their hearts, I extend my deepest empathy and love.

On this day, let us broaden our embrace to encompass all forms of motherhood. To the stepmothers, the mothers to be, the foster and adoptive mothers, the single mothers, those that long to be mothers, and those who nurture other peoples children, our caregivers, and moms to our beloved four-legged companions – your love and dedication do not go unnoticed.

As a token of remembrance and appreciation, I’m sharing a collection of my favorite flowers with you today. Each bloom carries a story, a memory – a tribute to mothers, grandmothers, and sisters who have touched our lives in profound ways.

Just as flowers evoke memories, so do the hand-made cards and gestures of love exchanged today. May these simple acts of kindness serve as a reminder of the enduring bonds that unite us all.

To each and every one of you, I wish a day filled with beauty, love, and cherished moments. Happy Mother’s Day.
