I painted a card for my mom. I made sandwiches for our picnic in the park. I also spent my last few dollars on getting her a coca cola and a bag of cheez-its. Outside of the card. Inside of the card. And those that are mothers can feel free to post what was done for them. May 12 13 07:00 pm Link I gave her my heart that I made from glass.

We're on opposite sides of the country, so small favors at the moment. May 12 13 07:53 pm Link I got my mom 12 cream colored roses, opened to full bloom and put in blue colored water (tied with owl print ribbon as the finishing touch), a "Happy Mother's Day" helium balloon, a mother's day cake, some nice perfume, a really, really gigantor card, a necklace with 5 circlet pendants on it (to signify her 5 kids), and a package of four rings. Inside is a pictogram, consisting of a polaroid of an owl, the infinity symbol (drawn on the backside of Christmas wrapping paper), a heart (cut from the red of a Verizon Wireless bag!), and a photo of my mom and I when I was a child. Basically says owl + always + love + you. There's a more personal handwritten note on the opposite page, but I didn't photograph it.

I was on a really tight budget ($15) but it worked out-- I had giftcards from two places that I was able to use to buy her actual presents, so all I had to spend in actual $$ was the flowers, balloon, and card (and Publix had BOGO cards & gift bags, which was perfect). I went to fiiiiiiiiiive places looking for non-wilted flowers, it was ridiculous May 12 13 09:39 pm Link aww I agree ..what a wonderful pic of a mother and her gifts! May 12 13 10:09 pm Link I celebrated with my mother a week early since she's on the next flight out-of-town to see my sister's brand new baby . For my mother-in-law, the hubby and I purchased gift cards for one of the really nice spas in town. May 12 13 11:37 pm Link I woke up early to make my mom blueberry pancakes. I also got her a card. Then my sisters both came home for the day and we all went out to Applebee's for dinner. Was a pretty chill day, all in all. May 13 13 06:19 am Link Nothing. She is dead. Maybe I thought about her a few times. May 13 13 06:23 am Link Made her a pineapple and apple upside down cake. May 13 13 07:16 am Link I called her and wished her a Happy Mother's Day. She doesn't want presents, and I didn't have time to get her one. I am making her one though, that she will get when I'm finished it May 13 13 10:12 am Link I got her a pot of hanging flowers, she likes to receive them every year because they keep much longer than bouquets lol. I also gave her a book of jane austen quotes that i came across at the bookstore a few days ago; she loooves jane austen. My sibs, her and i went out and bought her dinner at a local diner. we forgot about the card tho :x May 13 13 11:08 am Link I ate the hook, the bait and the wire. May 13 13 04:52 pm Link Got her otterbox Ipad case, Iphone otterbox case, a card, $25 Itunes card and $100 in the card. Took her out to the steakhouse for dinner. May 13 13 05:23 pm Link I talked to her on the phone for over an hour and never once mentioned that I stopped loving her years ago. May 13 13 10:46 pm Link |
