Picking Up the Pieces Monday Vol. 19: Happy Birthday to my Mom!

My mom's birthday marks the start of 3 generations of birthdays celebrated in one week!  My mom is an AMAZING seamstress and has been a little down in the dumps since her Bernina sewing machine broke down.  Apparently it needs a new mother board (some fancy way of saying it's gonna be expensive...lol). Our family pulled together and we're finally going to be able to fix it for her.  She was super excited when she found it!

Mom's birthday 3/30, Jubilee's birthday 4/4 and Me 4/5!  Poor hubby...lol


I put together this fun little card...

Doodlbebug Design Take Note Pattern Paper, Doodlebug/Hampton Arts Nifty Notions Stamp and Dies, 
Doodlebug Design twine, Lawn Fawn Riley's ABCs


I used this week's Freshly Made Sketches
