Christmas Cards

Mother's Day Poem

This is a really lovely poem I found, author unknown, and I think I'll include it in a card to my Mom..

If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
if I could give you sapphires
for each truth you've helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you've known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you've shown.
Then you'll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I'm sure you're well aware
So I'll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.

Card puzzles and cutting

Jem enjoys puzzles so before I threw out these old birthday cards I cut them into three sections for her to put back together. She was done with the cards in about three minutes and then just wanted to cut them with scissors.

Chaising Cheerios has used this idea for holiday cards as well.
