Feelin’ The Love

The kids will never know just how much these flowers meant to me.

So…as I mentioned before, I moved away for a while to teach in a stamp/scrapbooking store.  I also mentioned that things turned sour there.  Well, what happened was that after a tag-team all-day class, I was blind sided by the store owner ranting & raving at me with his hands flailing in the air accusing me of putting down others’ art.  First, let me say that not only would I never do that even if the art was less than perfect, I wouldn’t do it even if I felt intimidated by the other artist’s abilities.  To be accused of that devastated me.  As well, because I’d been assaulted before, the body language of the perpetrator frightened me.  This happened shortly before Mother’s Day last year.  I was derailed to the extent that I couldn’t even work for a few days. 

On the Friday before Mother’s Day, my phone rang…it was a nearby florist saying they had a delivery for me.  Me?  What could it be?  I gave them directions to the house we were rented.  In a few hours, the most beautiful arrangement of flowers was delivered…it was from my wonderful son, his sweet wife, and my Schnookums!  Talk about making someone feel good…that bouquet wiped away all the bad and made me feel very special and very loved!  THEN, in the mail came envelopes with cards…Will’s card even had a hand written letter with a drawing of he & I.  Of course I was in tears, this time they were tears of joy for knowing how much I was loved.  And even though I didn’t get to see the kids in person that Mother’s Day, I felt their love as much as if they were in the very same room with me.  What a wonderful feeling!

Priceless Treasures

So, I had to take pictures of the flowers and make special pages to document just how wonderful I felt.  I chose to use these papers from Close To My Heart, they were in a special packet for that month and worked perfectly for this project.  I had to include the letter from Will as well as the cards.  It seemed like Close To My Heart knew I needed these beautiful papers!
