Mom's Birthday Card

My mom's birthday was September 19 so I decided to make her a card. 

I got this chipboard at a yard sale for .50 cents

Then I covered it with scrapbook paper and used spray adhesive to stick it on

Next I wrote a poem in the pages

It read:

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.
I am a mother now, and so I know
Hard work is mixed together with the fun;
You learned that when you raised me long ago.

I think of all the things you gave to me:
Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,
Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul--
All these you spent on me throughout the years.

You loved me with a never-failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security,
And then you did the hardest thing of all:
You let me separate and set me free.

Every day, I try my best to be
A mother like the mom you were to me.

It took a little longer to make than I had thought so I had to give it to her late.  I think this may also have to do with this crafting kick I was on getting a little bit old.  Don't worry it will hit me again, but if I go awhile with out posting you know why.
