Remembering Mom

With all that has gone on over the past couple of weeks I have really been thinking about my Mom.  She passed away 20 years ago of Alzheimer's and as most of you are aware you lose the person mentally long before they pass. Mentally I lost my Mom 10 years earlier.  I was blessed with a very tallented and special Mom.  She taught be at a very early age (2 years old) how to sew and although her tallents far surpass mine, her creativity has rubbed off on me.

This week at Cardabilities the sketch caught my eye and my creation was inspired by my Mom.  There was also another Challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges that was tag related as well.

My Mom had taken an old watch, she never threw anything away and always repurposed items, and make a pin that I still wear today.  I get so many wonderful comments on the pin and I used this pin as my inspiration.

I hope you like what I have come up with and Mom Thanks for watching over me!

Mr. Vroom Vroom & His Pals to the Rescue

Meet Mr. Vroom Vroom.  He is a Diaper Bike and another of my projects for Stampin Fun and Friends.

The most obvious diaper creations these days are tiered cakes, but both my son and his wife are avid motorcyclists and join in on lots of Charity Rides.  For this reason, plus I was certain they were having a Boy, I decided to make a motorbike cake.

Along with Mr. Vroom Vroom his friends are stopping by to help the new Mom and Dad with "Baby Sitter Rescue Coupons".  These coupons are to be used in exchange for Baby Sitting services, as if they really need to ask!  But if funds are tight for a baby shower gift it makes a great idea and everyone is happy!

So if I haven't convinced you yet to join in on the fun over at Stampin Fun and Friends you need to check out a few of the other designers blots to see what they have come up with.

Hope you enjoy!
