happy mother's day

here is a card i made for brandon's 1st grade teacher. it is teacher appreciation week here and we picked her up a gift card at target. such a pretty gift card! i decided to include it in the front of the card.
teachers are wonderful! i mean, i can hardly stand my own 2 on days.....imagine a roomful of 30+ 6-7 year olds that AREN'T hers! and she comes back day after day to teach! bless all the teachers out there.
i also made some card sets to share on a later post. too tired and i'm on day 3 of a killer sore throat. i know i need to drink more water but makes it hard when you can't even swallow! any tried and true remedies for soothing a sore throat out there that you can share? i got this most likely from brandon. he was out 2 days from school this week, and skipped his swim lesson.....sharing cooties in our house!happy mother's day to everybody! i'm behind in making mother's day cards as the one above is my 1st one! my intentions are good but my body is tired :)

That is one gorgeous gift card! How clever to add it to the front of your card. I agree that teachers should get medals of honor--they are a special breed.

Sorry about your sore throat. We usually do the Hawaiian salt mixed in hot-as-you-can-stand water and gargle several times. A little Tylenol helps. And try not to talk. Take care, Ivy! And Happy Mother's Day!

That is a pretty GC and your card showcases it perfectly! I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I do the salt & warm water gargle too.

I wanted to say thank you for your sweet comment on the Moxie Fabber post! It means so much to me. Hope you're having a wonderful mother's day!
