I've gone through life never giving
much thought to how I was created.
"You do not look like your parents",
was a quote too many times stated.
Yet I arose this morning and began my day
staring into my looking glass,
an old familiar feeling of recognition stared back,
but this time it did not pass.
I bent even closer as tears ran down,
then smiled as I realized,
there in my mirror, gazing back at me,
I saw my mother's eyes.
The same warm hue, that cried for me
whenever I was in pain,
has been given to me, by God,
a gift, forever to remain.
When sweet Jesus calls her home,
and her soul to heaven will rise,
She will leave one thing bound to this earth......
For I have my mother's eyes.
I just cried the moment I read this poem and I knew I had to scrap it. I am just like my Mom and I want her to know that she is loved. She is a remarkable woman and mother. She is my very best friend and I wish I could be with her every day! I love you Mom!!!
This layout is for a challenge on Treasured Scrapbooking where you were to use roses in your layout. I found this really pretty rose printed paper, by Daisy D's, when I went to the scrappy store a few weeks ago. I used the Home Accents cartridge for my flourishes and Stone Script for my title. I also did some cutwork for my rose corner. I added some satin ribbon and some Stickles to my lettering. I also used Tim Holtz distress ink in Faded Jeans and Brick Red for distressing. Here it is:
Thanks for looking!!
Oh, and one more thing I just have to share with yall! Brandon gave me the surprise of my life today! Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted a Super Nintendo. I know it's really old school, but I've always wanted one of my own. I am a huge Mario fan. Well, today, he announced that he bought one for me on Ebay. Got a great deal too! So in about a week, if I go MIA, it's because I am taking a stroll down memory lane! I can't wait!!!!
Yall have a great Thursday! Hugs!

Beautiful Layout! I love that paper but never would have been able to use it so beautifully!! Yay for the SN - I miss having one but play some of the same games online once in a while!!!
Aymee - I don't know how I missed this. It is so sweet! I had only read the TS part and thought that was all of it. The layout itself is gorgeous. I don't have words to say to express my feelings about the inspiration and poem. You are my bff too and I wish I could see you too.
Miss you,

Just beautiful Aymee! I have to confess it made me all teary eyed though. My Mom's been gone 19 years and yes, I do have my Mother's Eyes. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with your Mom. Big hugs, D
