May 1, 2009
Scrapbooking and card making has been so popular for such a long time that now that even the mass-market card companies are trying to copy the style of the home crafter. However, nothing quite touches the heart like something truly handcrafted with love with one's own hands. This is especially true for mothers and grandmothers, who cherish the thoughtfulness of their loving children and grandchildren.
Of course, not everyone has the time or talent to make a card. The following sayings are also nice to add to blank notes, flower enclosure cards, or preprinted Mother’s Day cards.

- Reasons why Mom is loved

- Lessons learned from Mom
- Early memories of Mom
