Well, I finally put it all together, inspired by Scraptivity's Winter Blues challenge. Week 5's topic was hand cut designs, so this swirl paper was perfect for it. I love playing with my titles, so just imagine my excitement when I realized that the word "momentous" had not only the word "moment" in it, but also "mom to u"! What fun! Evan took this photo of me moments after the girls surprised me with a Mother's Day bouquet of lilacs. The journaling (on the tag under the picture) tells the story:"This photo of me was taken on Mother’s Day, 2006. I remember the day so well. We were visiting and playing in the playground behind Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Evan decided that he wanted to take a picture of me on Mother’s Day. So I gave him the camera and a few tips. Just as he was about to take the photo, Alicia and Vanessa surprised me with a bouquet of lilacs. They chose them because they were my favourite colour, purple.
I took the flowers from the girls and inhaled the beautiful lilac fragrance for just a moment – and at that precise moment, Evan snapped the photo. He did such a great job. I love it. That moment was a big one for me. As I stood there, with my big boy using a camera and my girls picking the perfect flowers for me, I realized – my kids are not babies anymore. They’ve grown so much, and they are only going to keep growing faster and faster. Wow. I’m such a lucky Mom.
I want to savour every moment. Happy Mother’s Day to Me!"
There are only five days remaining to complete layouts for the Winter Blues challenge in order to be eligible for all of the prizes. Guess who still has four layouts to catch up on!? Somehow :-) I'm doubtful that I will complete that many by this weekend, but stay tuned and I will post whatever I do manage to finish!
