Today I have made this tag with three challenges in mind, Simon Says Stamp and Show - Tape it Up, Ink on my Fingers - Use Ribbons and Make My Monday - Vintage Childhood.
I used an acetate from Ephemera 1 by Crafty Individuals depicting a mother and daughter together, you can see the love of the young child for her mother. The bluebird has been over-stamped in picket fence DS with plate CI 214.
Today's your natal day,
Sweet flowers I bring;
Mother, accept, I pray,
My offering.
And may you happy live,
And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
Great happiness.
I thought the very last line was perfect for the title of this tag.
Got my granddaughter over today and had her yesterday to give her a break from her own 4 walls, she is doing really well and came out for a Frappuccino this morning. Taking the youngest one to ballet in half an hour. Oh and the skydive didn't happen again on Sunday, so my daughter has to wait till the middle of October and go through it all again for the third time. Her nerves are getting to her a bit I think, but then I wouldn't even consider it in the first place lol.
Take care and have some fruitful crafting time.

ReplyDeleteHi Brenda
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to read that your Grand-daughter is doing much better, what a relief. As for your daughter, the frustration she must be feeling at the sky dive being cancelled once again.
Oh this is a delight and those words are so perfect.
