HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!

Normally for Mothers Day I go out on the day of and buy mom flowers and cards from everyone, somehow it has turned into an expectation over the years I don't know why. But I'm working this mother's day so I did my shopping a day early. Which gave me time to really look at the cards. They all day sweet things but I decided I was gonna make my own this year. I actually documented from start to finish this time so I have pics. I am excited!!!! :D




I  found some premade stockcards at kroger's minute clinic so I took 3 ( one for me, my sis, and if my brother wants one)

 back ( thanks THE LITTLE CLINIC)

I'm not to fond of what the card actually says so I edited just a little bit.

I just used things I had laying around the house.

• glue
• scissors
• gel pens
• glitter pens
• felt
• printer paper. (not pictured)

1. I took regular printer paper folded it and cut it in half. 

Regular printer paper

fold in half hamburger style

fold again

cut along one edge to make half the size

2. I then glues the paper I cut and covered the words.

I did like the way card wrote I love you mommy! but I don't call my mom mommy, she goes by mom, mami, mammi.
3. So I traced the words cause you still could see the words underneath.

4. I didn't like the blank space underneath cause you could still see the words. So that's when I decided I would add the felt heart.

5. To make the heart all you need is: a piece of felt and scissors. The steps are easy.

take your felt and....

fold it hamburger style

cut along the closed edge in the shape of half a heart

TADA you have a heart shape.

6. Next you glue the shape on to the paper and decorate however you like. (I wrote my name and my sisters name on mine)

I've tried but my computer won't rotate them. I'm sorry.














On the top side you can write you message to you mom.

You can decorate the rest of your card anyway you want. I colored my butterflies and flowers with my gel pens cause that's all I had around me.

Flowers

It's spring and I've seen a lot of pretty flowers lately and I just had to take pics.

These pictures are just to pretty not to share.

Knoxville

I never knew Knoxville could be so much fun. Every time I've gone in the past I've been bored out of my mind but this past weekend was so much fun. I love my best friend and her sister. Also there where so many things that just cracked me up during the trip so I'm gonna post them on here.

2a. It's ok you don't have to serve me, I'll just go to Sweet Cici's when I get home. 2b. I can't leave my pets outside by themselves they will run away. :( lol

We went to yogurt place (I forget the name) and these to signs made me smile. 1. How am I supposed to know if I will be a paying customer unless I try something and see if I like it.

We went to see Water for Elephants (really bad quality on the pic), which had Robert Pattenson and Reese Witherspoon in it, and well we had to take a pic of his "crown" form New Moon premiere. (I didn't  care for the movie that much.)




Of course I had to post it. :D








This theater had the coolest hand dryer thing I've ever seen and tried.

(This is Lavi not me)











Then we went to WalMart to get some water and I found these instead.

I got a little upset. Like what where they trying to say, you know.

We ended up going to Boarders and I found this notebook that said "Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake" I felt better, books always know how to cheer me up.

To finish our trip off we went out to eat Chinese at a Chinese Buffet. The food was actually pretty good, I wasn't to hungry so I only ate one plate. After I went back to get some fruits I found these lovely creatures hanging out in the same display area. I was gonna try one but I grossed myself out and I didn't.
