...to all you wonderful mom's. I am not a mom myself, but I am totally convinced that mom's are gifted with patience and all sorts of secret things that no one else knows about. Flying home from San Diego this past weekend with a 2 year old and a mom sitting behind me was a fresh reminder of this. It totally amazed me how patiently and expertly the mom of this 2 year old answered every question, handled every tantrum, crying sprees, and exit the plane sanely. I shake my head in amazement, and guess I won't know the secret mom's possess until I am one myself. My mom, Linda, (CEO and founder of Heartfelt Creations) is one of the world's best mom's. She raised 3 of us kids and we are all considered grown-ups by now, but she still always knows the right things to say, cooks the best meals, let's us express our opinions and thoughts freely, she is our biggest cheerleader! Thanks Mom, you're the best.
There's still time to create the most beautiful card for the mom in your life, today's projects will give you some great ideas. Love to you and yours, Emma Lou
