Mama Love

I have the best mother in the universe.

No kidding.

She prays for me daily.

She is encouraging and supportive.

She is my favorite person

in the world to get the giggles with.

She has a beautiful heart.

There was that one year I gave

her a Mother's Day gift

early.

Mother's Day came and she

thought I'd forgotten her.

So now in keeping with my tradition,

My gift is fashionably late!

I had fun playing with image transfers.

I tried the technique of printing

with an inkjet printer onto transparencies,

but it didn't work right.

I ended up using photocopies, mat gel medium

and wax.  When you transfer photocopies,

it's hard to get all the white to disappear,

so rub it with a little wax and it will

stay clear.  I used leftover wax

from my soy lavender Magic Fairy Candle.

Just don't hair dry it to make

it go faster!  I did

and then the page before 

started to melt!  

Packed full of love notes and fond memories.

My kids wrote love notes too.  They are teenagers now.

I love their words.  

They love her smell (cucumber lotion).

Her soft arms.

So sweet!

Mama Love,

That's the best.

Blessings,
