C4C123-It's a LOVE sketch! and I LOVE my MOM!

Lynda is our "Crazy" Hostess this month and she's come up with a FABULOUS challenge for us, which was to make a card for someone you love, using the sketch below

Everything fell into place PERFECTLY for this challenge for me. First of All, tomorrow is my Mother's 72nd Birthday and I LOVE her to pieces, so how perfect that I could create my card for her AND be sure that she get's it on time, 'cause I don't have to mail it!!!

SECONDLY, Stampotique is releasing new stamps tomorrow!!! This Queen Stamp by Janet Klein just Emulates my Mom to a "T"  because she is the Queen in regard to the pecking order in our family! She is a Diva for sure, but in a good way. She carries herself with Grace and Elegance, but wouldn't bat an eye at screaming "Off with your head" if  you tick her off. She's a Fire Dragon with a Huge heart and a Beautiful Soul. As a lot of you know, we traveled to Mexico in January for a week's vacation. I wasn't quite sure how we'd do for a whole week together as sometimes as Mother and Daughter, we have our moments. 

We had the time of our lives. I can't think of a better travelling companion and look forward to taking another trip in the future. At 72, my Mother has more energy than a lot of people my own age. I also learned how brave and adventurous she is when we were deciding to book our excursions in Mexico.

Here she is ziplining for the first time ever! Go Grandma Go!

. We were so blessed to have a lovely group of young and energetic peeps with us on this excursion. It was quite a hike up to the zip lines and we were holding up the rear. The young men and women on the trip were so sweet and considerate, helping me to help mom up and over the more rugged areas of the trail. It was so nice to see them interacting with her and indicating that they were very inspired by the fact that she would be engaging in all of these activities at her age! I gained even more respect for her when she repelled way down into an underground cenote to swim.........she can't swim.....but they put a life jacket on her. She wasn't sure about doing this activity, but with all the encouragement from the group, she made her way down into the cave to the sounds of "you can do it Sandy!". It was beautiful to see her beam with pride when she succeeded in returning to the top of the cave, alive and healthy. Did I mention that MY MOM ROCKS? !!!!!!

Not only does she rock, she glows with Beauty. She is kind, caring, generous, outspoken, opinionated, harsh at times, but you won't meet ANYONE that has a heart that compares to hers. I am proud to be her daughter and blessed that she is my Mom. I don't express it well or often enough, but Mom, I Love you to the moon and back Not only have you raised me well ( I think?? hehe) but you are my friend and I hope that you're going to be with me for many more years so that we can enjoy many  more adventures!

Happy Birthday Mom
