Mothering Instincts Week Continues

Hi Everyone~

I wanted to share some altered art pieces that are in my Etsy shop...

They are ideas for Mother's Day for your mom--or for yourself!

Dreaming in Black and White Necklace

And, as Mothering Instincts Week continues, I have a question for you....What is the best advice your mom ever gave you?

As for me, my mom always reminded me of the saying, "This too shall soon pass." Those words have alot of truth. She'd say it when I was a teenager crying over a break-up or later in life if things got rough...Those words have stayed with me. I think her advice was something I could hold onto throughout my lifetime.

How about you? What is some sound advice your mom gave you?

A Little Vintage Charm

Jackson Square/New Orleans

Last week, I went to visit the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.

Jeanne d'Arc Necklace

While I was there, I bought a medallion of Jeanne d’Arc for my

special daughter-in-law, Nikki and created this necklace for her

with a key, a crown, and gear for her birthday.

"Charmed" Wall Hanging

Then, I created this wall hanging for her. It includes one of my

favorite images from Shabby Cottage Studio. I couldn’t wait to

make a collage using this vintage blue necklace. It is being entered

in the Spot Prize challenge at Dezinaworld where the theme is

“Charming.”

Sugar-Sweet Lollipops

Then, I made these for my grandchildren to accompany

the other gifts. Of course, the sugar is actually white glitter!

The heart images are from Shabby Cottage Studio too!

They're fun to make--Honestly, I don't know how the idea

popped into my head--but I think they'd also be cute to

stick inside a planter in the house.

While at the cathedral last week, I prayed for all of my family

and friends--and that includes all of you that I have

met while blogging.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend~A Happy Pink Saturday!

and a Spiritual Sunday!!!
