Happy Mother's Day from Authentique! Day 1

Flawless Mother's Day Gift Ensemble

Queen Mom Trinket Box and Note Card Set with Flawless

Mother' s Day is almost here, and although I haven't been able to celebrate it with my precious Mom in 15 years now, it's still a day when I like to sing her praises.  My mom was the  most amazing person I've ever known.  She came from a very humble background, grew up during the Depression with very little, and suffered hardships in her life that I can't even imagine. She had every right to be a real "stinker"...but she chose to lavish the love and affection she never knew growing up on her children.  She was always singing, always ready for a good laugh, always reading a good book, and always looking for the silver lining in every cloud.  My mom was the Queen of my heart, so I made this Queen Mother trinket box and note card set with the fabulous Flawless collection to honor her.  Because pink was her favorite color.

This is a 5" x 7" book box with a shaker frame on the cover.

My mom was also an avid letter writer.  I've saved a lot of her notes in a special box.  Taking them out and reading them is like having her here with me again.  So I made a set of pink note cards to fit inside the box along with a little sticky notepad.

Mom would have loved all this pink!

Finally, I made a shaker easel card to complete the ensemble.

Being a mom to our 5 children has been the greatest joy of my life.  I know how hard it is to do this job,  so I'd like to wish each and every mom, "other mother" and mom to be a joyous Mother's Day.
