Each year, my aunt comes to Florida to spend the winters with my mom in St. Pete which is about an hour and a half away. Since my dad passed away almost 3 years ago, my mom's health has declined and has had several back and shoulder surgeries and is to the point that she really doesn't need to be alone. My aunt decided that she would take my mom back to Ohio with her when she went home last month. She didn't want to go but we all convinced her it was the right thing to do. Here is a card that I made for her to keep on her dresser. The image is so me...when I was growing up (and even now) I never had shoes on my feet. Even in the heart of winter, in the snow belt of Ohio, I either wore moccasins or tennis shoes. I'm hoping she will think of me every time she looks at it and know just how much I love her. It's an easel card that I downsized so it won't take up a lot of room---

Aw, what a sweet card for mom! And love your card much!! I regret not buying these sentiments now - your card is stunning! Lovely, lovely :)
Kelly, we must be kindred spirits! I never wore shoes either growing up in Michigan. I would run out to get the mail in my bare feet. What a great memory for you and your Mom. She will love the card. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me. Your comments on my blog mean a lot to me. Thanks!
Kelly, how sweet this is! Your Mom is sure to love this and treasure it. I can't believe you're from Ohio, too....My husband was born there and I grew up there most of my life...another small world we share.
Fantastic card, dear Kelly.
Hugs
