Here is my precious mother! Neither of us like our picture taken so my wedding day was a rare occasion where we both look good, so I love this picture and my wonderful sister was the photographer.
I feel so lucky to still have my mom around!

Here's the awesome gift I made my mother. She loves vintage and re-purposed anything. I think she will love this altered altoid's tin.
The background paper is Graphic 45 with some 7 Gypsies paper tape and apothecary labels.
I wrapped some floss around the spool.
I also have my own blog candy today:

Your vintage tin is gorgeous Alicia and you and your mom are very beautiful! I love your wedding dress! My favorite mother memory is the day my son Elijah was born and he was placed in my arms. He is now 13, where has the time gone? If you are a mother, Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeletegreat mother story and that is one of my favorite memories of motherhood was finally getting to hold my son! I still can't let go and he is 14. thanks for all the hops and comments over the past year!
DeleteAwesome idea and I'm sure your mother will love this! A favorite mom moment for me would be when my daughters were born; each is unique and special! It was great hopping with you today - Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you to Pam! thank you for sharing your "mom" moment!
DeleteYou and your mom look gorgeous!!! I love your altered tin and all of the vintage details you packed in it!!! My favorite memory of my mom was when she was my 4H co-leader. Crafting with her was fun! My favorite memory as a mom was holding my babies soon after each of them were born. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a mom :)
ReplyDeleteso sweet! thanks for sharing your story Lori! thanks for all the great crafting you do! Happy Mother's Day!
DeleteBeautiful re-purposed tin, your Mom is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteMy fav memory of being a Mom is really HARD, I have so many wonderful memories. If I have to choose I would have to say, teaching my son to read. He had a real hunger for books and read everything he could get his hands on. Now that he's grown an on his own life adventure he tells me at least once a year how much he truly appreciates that time we had together and how it helped shape his life and lead him to living the life of his dreams in Tokyo with his beautiful wife, Miki who is a real Japanese doll. Happy Mother's Day.

great story! I visited your blog and am a new follower! thanks for all the comments Sue!
DeleteGreat picture of you and your Mom! She is going to love the altered tin! My fav memory of my Mom is the day my son was born. She came into the hospital room and gave me a diamond ring. With tears in her eyes, she thanked me for giving her a grand child. She passed away when my son was 9. I still miss her to this day.
ReplyDeleteAt least he was old enough to have fond memories of his grandmother! what a wonderful memory and you have a token to always remember it by! so sweet! thanks for sharing!
DeleteGorgeous project, all of the details are fabulous. Thanks for joining our linky party over at Craftin Desert Diva's!
ReplyDeletethanks for the great linky PARTY! and coming by to see my creation!
DeleteBeautiful tin! My favorite memory was when I had my 1st son and my mom started crying telling me how great i was going to be at being a mom =)
ReplyDeletehappy mother's day! it is great to be a mom! thanks for sharing your story!
DeleteOh my gosh, you want me to pick just ONE memory? I have had so many wonderful ones, both as daughter and Mom. Probably the one that stands out the most when I summon up fond memories would be how beautiful my daughter looked and angelic she seemed on her wedding day. I was (and am) so proud of her, happy for her, and so in love with her. I loved dancing with my own Mom at Emily's wedding. Also, 9 years prior, Emily stood next to me as my only attendant when I married her stepdad ... And what a precious toast and wedding song she sang to us!

WOW this is GORGEOUS! I bet she LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Also thanks for appreciating your Mom.
My mom lost her battle with cancer 23+ years ago and I would love just one more chance to feel her sweet hug and tell her how much I love and miss her.
I cherish the pictures I have with and of her.
Do me a favor... Both of you get dressed up again and get some more pictures together. You will cherish them I promise.
Crafty hugs,
