I had a lovely Mother's Day Tea at Ella's school. If this wasn't the sweetest little tea party. What a treat. Certainly kicked off the weekend on a huggable note.... whatdaya think of my groovy hat? handmade by Ella, of course ;)
ETA: I had to add this pic that was taken today (mother's day) after Alex's lacrosse game. He came up to me and said "Thanks Mom, I love you" and gave me a rose. ohhhhhhhhhh. it killed me I tell ya. What a sweetheart xo
So, in the spirit of Mother's Day, I'm going to a do a little blog give away!! I've been wanting to do one for a while...and what better time than Mother's Day!
So leave me a comment! That's it. Just say hi :) ...tell me about your Mother's day, or link me to your blog.

Hi Rita - I found your blog through Scrapologie...boy I miss those kits!! Love your scrapping...and all the fun stuff in your store. I'm a NE girl, too - Syracuse, NY counts, right??!! Mother's Day for me = shopping alone :) Enjoy your day!!!

Hey Rita! Yeah that's a cool hat!
Not sure what's up for Mother's Day..sleeping late for one thing, then probably off to ride my horse for a little while. I'll bet there will be flowers and dinner somewhere in there also!
Happy Mother's Day to you too!

Hi Rita!
What a cute Mothers Day Tea!!
Our Mothers Day is tomorrow - and I plan to have breakfast in bed and not have to do any of the dishes ;o)
I know I'll get the breakfast but somehow I will end up doing dishes. But a girl can dream, right?
Happy Mothers Day Rita!!

hmmm not sure why I'm surfin' in here instead of working lol but am glad I did because your hat put the biggest smile on my face, and I thank you for that!
Mother's Day... well, I live 5 hours away from my Mom and will definitely call her to give her my love, and just hope she remembers who the heck I am (she suffers from pre-senile dementia and sometimes isn't lucid) but on a brighter note, am spending the day with friends and baking Madeleine's for dessert!
Happy Mother's Day, Rita!
hugs, deborah :o-)

Oh what a lovely hat - I had a similar one last year, although actually yours is much nicer...we used globes for shaping our hats (yes, I was the helper mom that day...) and they were a little big...great picture!

Happy Mother's Day to you! My daughter and I missed our first Mother's Day tea at school this year because she has been home sick all week. We're sad about that, but we plan on having a nice day scrapbooking together on Sunday.

My mothers day was held in march (we are in the UK) and it came a little early than normal (due to easter). I got the bestest present ever... a pair of silver earings...Im a super silver fan. Belle, my lil girl couldnt wait to give me it. Thats the best bit I like - is seeing her face. I mean, she could just buy me a bag of dirt and Id love it.
Posted by: kirsty | May 11, 2008 at 03:42 PM
ohhhhhh I love that hat. I'd love to know how they made them? love her little poised pinky!!!
and a rose from a sweaty athlete? now that is the sweetest.
my day wonderful. greeted in bed with a cluster of ballons(leftover from Tatum's bday party),and some goodies. then pancakes in bed(which brig helped make) and then shortly after.... our first ever face-down debut to the porcelin throne. and hubby took care of the niceness and our sick little dude all day. and even served me lunch. and now we're off to dinner =)
