Good Morning Friends,
Sorry I was away for so long. Our family experience a very traumatic event on March 11th. Our niece Kimberly died in a car accident. She was only 38 yrs old and the single mother of 5 children, the youngest only 2yrs old. I was very close to Kim. When she was a child, she spent a lot of weekends with us because my daughter is only 2 years older than her. When she had children, I would take one and have them spend a week here at the beach with me.
I have been crying myself to sleep every night and waking up only to start crying again. This has gone on for over 2 months, finally, on Wednesday night, I felt a peace come over me, it was as if Kim was letting me know she was all right. I was finally able to sit down and create again.
Our challenge #133 at International Art & Soul's theme is "3 of Something" I decided to make a Mother's day box. This is going to be a photo heavy blog so get some tea or coffee and join me. I have missed all of you so much! What have you been up to?
This is a large Mother's Day box from Dreaming Tree SVG it was quite time consuming but I think it was worth it. So my 3 of something are flowers. Note the 3 handmade blue flowers on the heart, they are all the same. I also put three handmade flowers on the bottom.
3 cupcakes in the box, as you can see, it could fit 4 or 6 depending on the size of the cupcakes. You could put mom's favorite candies or cookies, or just use it as a box to hold a gift.
Oh this is my latest thing, I have been putting my small paper scraps through a shredder and then using them like this.
