My Mom

I'm thankful for my mom.  We may not always see eye to eye but I know that I'd be hard pressed to find someone that has more influenced who I am today.  She never accepted the fact that I could be anything less than what I am.  Without her I wouldn't be able to read and I would have been left behind, brushed to the side.  I owe everything that I've accomplished since then to her believing in me.  When I believe in myself I know that it is because my mom believes in me.

Love you Mom!

Craft for my mom

So today is my mom's birthday!  Happy birthday Mom!

In the spirit of wanting to be crafty I decided to make something for her.  My idea came from Pinterest:

I thought that was a really cute idea.  So I ordered spare Scrabble tiles online and did my own family crossword.  I think it turned out pretty well even if Theo was doing his best to crinkle the paper every time I turned around.  Here's mine:

Another craft success!  Next up, melted crayon art.  I hope my mom likes it!

Oh and by the way, I'm having the devil of a time typing this because my finger got caught in the leash of a crazy dog at work.  I twisted it pretty good.  Might have even broken it.  *sigh*
