My Mother's Day Projects

Did everyone have a nice Mother's Day Weekend?!  :)

Here is the card that I made for my Mom:
I love how it turned out!  :)  I also made a simple banner to hang in her living room:

Then, I had to do something silly for my mom as well.  Have you guys heard that poem/story called, "Hat's Off To Mother," if not..it is pretty cute.  Mom's do so very much and have the hardest job in the entire world!  The story talks about the many 'hats' that a mother wears.  So I made these sticks to put in a vase, to go along with the story.  (I didn't get a picture of the finished product...but here are each of the individual sticks:)
A Nurse:

 *(I know my mom spent a majority of the time raising me, being  my nurse.  Having a diabetic child can NOT be easy!!!) Thanks Mom!! :)
A Chef:
And what a good chef she is!!! :)
A Chauffeur:   (I turned this into Mom's Taxi!) 
A Detective:  Sshe neeeeever had to play this.... I was a perfect angel!!) 
My mom always said that if I were an angel, that my horns were holding up my halo. Lol!
A Gardener:
A Maid:  *(this one was hard for me...what kind of hat does a maid wear?!!?  I came up with a bonnet type...but that just seemed odd to me. haha.)
That one was left pretty plain, I wanted to add a broom or mop, but anything I tried didn't look right.  Ah well.
And last but not least, 'A Queen, and Angel in Disguise'

I don't know if she will want to keep these.  (I always feel silly when people want to "keep" the stuff I make).  But if she does, I will probably turn it into a mini album/story. :) I changed a couple the words from the original poem, so that it really fit my mom.  If anyone wants to know the actual poem, I can tell you though!
I hope she had a good mother's day. I love my mommy! hehe.

Thanks for stopping by, and checking out my projects!!  I love all your comments!!!! :)
