For Mom

I've noticed that my mom is reading quite a bit more now that she's got time.  Reading has always been a "have to do" for me.  I'm not happy if I don't read.  I started reading at breakfast when I was quite small and there Mom would be at the table - together we would be, but not talking.  My mom was smart and realized that I needed that time.   I know sometimes she thinks I probably came from aliens (she's neat, I'm messy and that's just one way we're different), but she's always supporting and loving.  She's a great mom and a perfect grandma - love you, Mom! 

I found this fun heart brooch at an antique store and turned it into a bookmark for my mom.   For fun gift wrap, I made a pocket from library cards. 

 The library cards are wrapped with a doily then I just added some ephemera, doily stamp, button, and ribbon. 

 I like how the ribbon peeks out of the pocket.  Hope you're having a great week.  So glad you stopped by!
