Hubby spent many gruelling hours at the scrapbooking shop, painstakingly learning techniques from the pros just so he could come up with this masterpiece.
It is a feat for him and i am particularly touched because he is not one for art and intricate detailing, his fingers are too huge! haha...and also because much thought has gone into making this card unique and symbolic.
- The background is an array of numbers of varyg sizes. Hubby highlighted the numbers '5' and '7' with glittering red sequins, representing Terelle and Thane (To fully appreciate these 2 numbers, read my post on "Uncanny coincidence")
- The '5' just so happened to be bigger in size than the number '7'!
- Hubby chose fabric flowers with a snazzy retro print on them cos i love all things vintage. He tells me Terelle carefully stuck them on the card
- And the message reads "Not by chance but by the grace of God". How apt!
And i was treated to a Mothers' Day crab and prawn feast, ironically sans kids. Haha cos if they were around, the meal wouldnt have been half as enjoyable!
As Collin Raye would croon," For all the wrong ive done in my life, i must have done something right", similarly i think im doing ok in God's eyes to deserve my 3 greatest blessings!
I love all of you! Thanks for making this Mothers' Day the most special one yet!
On a side note, "she" didnt throw her usual histrionics this year. There was no launching into her annual tirade about how insincere we are and how "everyday could be Mother's Day and not specially today", and even despite us not planning anything fanciful in her honor.
It was a special Mothers' Day indeed.
