…..remembering my amazing mom today, missing her and thanking her for sharing so much love with me (including the love of the sea)…..

…..knowing her love is passed along to my two girls, through me (and the sea)….

…..sending her so much love, from all of us, as we create our own mother daughter memories on this beautiful coast….

In honour of Mother’s Day I am offering up a “Mother May I…..?” giveaway.  I offer this gift to all the mother’s out there, to all of those who have moms and aunts and grandmothers and mama friends to honour, and to all of those (like me) who miss their mother every day.  Yes, that means everyone can enter!  Just leave a comment by May 12th and share something special about a mother in your life or your own mothering moment here.  On Mother’s Day, I will select a winner at random who will receive the following:

- this set of 3 rainbow art cards, professionally printed on 100% recycled paper (yes, the coloured envelopes are 100% recycled paper as well)

AND this set of 3 quiet moment art cards, also professionally printed on 100% recycled paper (because mother earth deserves out honour too).

Don’t you think one of these cards would be the perfect way to honour someone on Mother’s Day? Feel free to honour yourself by writing a note of encouragement to yourself, or penning a favourite quote…then tuck it in a drawer or post it on the fridge to brighten your day!  Send a card whenever the moment strikes….I hope that my art will help revive the practice of sending real mail to those you love.

Happy Mother’s Day!

UPDATE —- The random number generator has chosen Natalie as our winner! CONGRATS and THANK YOU ALL for sharing. Enjoy making a new mothering story today!

- let’s start with the kids’ newly thrifted treasures: a garden tea party set & a new piece of art to hang in Pixie Cottage (I think they enjoyed the hammering installation more than the art…it certainly seemed to go on and on)

- a peek at Sunshine Girl (she carried her sunshine with her) on my calendar this month

-  new fridge art by Alex 

- cherry blossoms from a friend are just what the seasonal nature table needed 

- needle felted robin by Raena

- the bird mobile made by my friend Lisa looks so good in my now aqua room

- so does the complimentary April calendar page created by Susana Tavares (did you know I just won an art doll workshop at her blog?!)

- and oh how I love this original piece (drawn on a page salvaged from an old Alice in Wonderland book)  by Rachel Awes (psst…..she has a fantastic giveaway on her blog right now too)

…….how is spring sneaking into your home these days? (I really should have taken a picture of the muddy footprints on the floor!…mine included)

we finally took our girls up the mountain on the big island for some snow….the sun was shining and the snowballs were soft and the giggles were big and we all flew down the mountain in tubes full of the joy!  I did not take my camera  along for the ride, but you get the idea…………………..zooooooooooooooooooooooooooom……………………………
