Nine Months, Two weeks and One Day!

I was 9 months, one week pregnant when my OBG told me he was going to induce me if I didn’t go into labor the following week. He asked me which day I preferred, Saturday, May 10^th or Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11^th ? I told him that I wanted to have a wonderful Mother’s Day so we agreed on May 10^th.

Cassandra Marie was born at 2:34 PM on May 10th and it was, as he predicted, a wonderful Mother’s Day. Every year I am reminded that the greatest Mother’s Day present I ever received is my beautiful daughter. Having said that, I have to add that my new Mother’s Day Vintage Floral Album comes in a close second. 

I won the original 1880’s Vintage Floral Album on Ebay and like Cassandra, it was love at first sight. I scanned the front and back cover, attached them to chipboard and then lined both with the ever romantic Miss Empire paper from Kaisercraft. Inside are 25 tea dyed papers, assorted tags and misc. paper ephemera.

 

 I even made a tiny Mother's Day Card!

Now that I own the covers I see many more Floral Journals in my future and in my Etsy shop Inside The Beehive. Matter of fact I think I will add a tag on the back inside cover - Limited Edition #1-2014. Cassandra, like this Journal, is a limited edition and in my book will always be #1!! Wishing all an early Happy Mother's Day.
