there was an old woman....

 There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.

She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.

She gave them some broth without any bread;

And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.  Mother Goose

as a mother, a daughter, stepmom, stepgrand, auntie, sister, niece, cousin and friend, i have nothing but love for those who take on this challenging task. and to those who don't mother your own, i'm grateful for your friendship and support! 

happy mother's day to all who celebrate!

love to all

darling mother

using an image from a free gecko galz collage sheet and the zen garden paper pack here is this homage to "mother" for the gecko galz challenge of the day: to mom

the butterfly, words, flower, etc. are goodies from my stash.
stay safe; if your mother is living, give her a call.

love to all.

baby love

it was my turn to pick the challenge theme at tag tuesday for the next two weeks and with mother's day right around the corner i chose "baby love."  but really the theme can be about mothers and babies or just babies, human babies, animal babies whatever you like!  here are two tags to get this started.

i used lunagirl images on the first piece, with a beautiful little girl reading a book (from the african american CD) and her wings from the "fly away home" collage sheet.  the background paper is from jodie lee designs.  the washi tape, die cuts and stickers are from my stash.

for this piece i chose an image and paper from gecko galz.  the mother and babe are from the "mum's the word" collage sheet and the paper is from the mori girl paper pack.  the paper flower, enamel dot and lace are from my stash.

i hope you will have fun with this challenge!
love to all
