Mother's Day and 12 on the 12th

The mom's plus a granddad and a kiddo.

Had a good Mother's Day. After church we had lunch at Macaroni Grill with my family, then that afternoon I got a 2 hour nap. It doesn't get much better than that!
For my mom I did completely handmade stuff! I made her a tote and had it monogrammed and also made her card. Even though I'm a big paper crafter, I don't really do cards, so it's fun to make one every now and then.
I'm participating in a little project called 12 on the 12th. I'm supposed to have 12 pics to represent my day, do a layout with them, and do this for the next 12 months. We'll see how well I do to remember! I really like this idea, because as you'll see I got some pics of things I wouldn't normally capture with the camera.

Morning teeth brushing.

Morning cartoons and milk while waiting for breakfast.

Lunch time and yep, she's still in PJ's.

My scrap desk mess with part of a current project I worked on during N's nap.

So with a few hours left in the day, that's the wrap up in snap shots. AND I got all that laundry done!!

I just LOVE this challenge. Wow, though, that's pretty impressive to do that every 12th. Maybe I will try it next month...

Sounds like a GREAT Mom's Day!

The 12 on 12 is a pretty neat idea. Maybe I'll jump in next month. Somebody at you house loves them some nuts, don't they!?

Yep Telah- it seems like they must be nut lovers. Maybe they are just concerned with eating a healthy, high in fat snack.

WOO HOO & Congrats on that laundry.
I will be home Wed. if you get bored- come do mine!

Happy "Belated" Mother's Day. Love the gift that you made for your mom. It turned out really nice.

That is a neat challenge. I might have to check into that.

What is up with all those nuts? You guys having a big party or do you just eat that many?
