Flowers for Mom

This week I'll be working at French Bouquet creating arrangements for Mother's Day.  They are long days but it's nice to work hard for a week and pick up a check for the holiday.  They just moved their shop so they aren't expecting a lot of walk in traffic but they have a buy wire service.  So all you moms out there, have a great day, enjoy your family, flowers and gifts.  I'll talk to you again next week.

Mom's Day Gifts

Whew! That was a busy weekend. Got some pictures yesterday morning of my mom's gift and thought I would share. I am just lovin' these altered art scrabble boards. I will have to be on the hunt for more since I have now used all the ones I had found previously.

Mom's day was good. The guys whipped through the palm tree cutting so we enjoyed the company of friends for the morning and had an early lunch. Went to Lowes (I know, I know) to pick up some more irrigation supplies for the yard. Stopped off at my mom's to visit her and give her that really cool scrabble board...she loves it my the way. We worked in the yard for a while, then cleaned up and went to our son's for dinner. I thought that was enough but they also got me one of the Jane Seymour 'Open Hearts' necklaces. As much as I love it, they really shouldn't have since Scott is unemployed at the moment. (Anyone need a good deisel mechanic?) My youngest got me a gorgeous bouquet of tulips, they are one of my favorites. All in all a great day.

Thought I would share a few other pieces with scrabble tiles I've nade recently. I'll be listing them on my website and etsy tomorrow if you're interested.

A Busy Weekend

Things are going to be crazy this weekend so just in case I don't get to it...I wish all the moms I know a Happy Mothers Day! The sacrifices mom's make for their children is something to behold. Our kids (and sometimes hubbies) never know what we are willing to give up, share, or do for them to make ends meet or make dreams come true. Happy Mothers Day!

Yes, this is a busy weekend around here. It starts tonight with a fundraising dinner for my nieces' Girl Scout troop. It's a mystery dinner like we used to do for Boy Scouts. It will be lots of fun for those who attend...and good food to boot. Saturday I have a board meeting in Boulder City for the ATV Club, but first I will drop off my car on the west side of town (I live on the east side of the valley) to car pool with other board members...that way I can hop in my car and head to the company picnic on the far northwest end of town. Timm is striping the pastures for parking this morning. Ahhh, I remember the days when our Scout troop worked the event...now I just have to show up and have a good time. It's going to be a hot one this year though so lots of water will be consumed by all. Kids will love the bounce houses, games, and petting zoo. Adults will love the band, booze, food and more. Sunday will take us back to the Lutz home to cut down a couple of palm trees near the pool that are starting to effect the block wall. Should be plenty interesting, scafolding will be involved. It's a favor in return since we had friends come cut down 11 trees in January. And of course I need to see my mother on Sunday...I made her a cool gift this year I think she will really like. Its an altered art scrabble board with everyone's names on it. It still needs a ribbon. I will finish my weekend at our oldest son's house with a BBQ for Mother's Day...and their wedding anniversary. I still need to finish that piece today. So.....I guess I'd better get to it and get my projects completed. See you all on Monday.
