{gift giving} my momma's birthday card

My dearest mother celebrated her 63rd birthday in August. She claims it is just 'another day' but I tend to disagree.  I love to celebrate my birthday and the birthdays of loved ones.  Rarely have I been able to actually be in the presence of my mom on her special day in the last 8 or 9 years since her birthday usually falls during the week Illinois school begins and of course now that we live in Michigan it makes celebrations a bit more difficult.  With all that being said, I try to make my momma feel loved and appreciated from a distance.  The photos below document her special birthday card I made her this year.
