When i was pregnant with my now 7 year old daughter, my mom bought me the book "I'll love you forever". It made me cry and I read it to her many times over again. That book will always hold a special place in my heart. The main part of the book went like this "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be." This image reminded me of that book. This mommy owl was much like me, up late at night rocking her baby back to sleep. I remember some nights how frustrating it was ... but also those special nights you realize how amazing this time is, watching them sleep or not sleep while you hold that little tiny gift from God in your arms and everything else just melts away. God has blessed me twice and I could never thank him enough. My babies mean so much to me. I love them with all that I have. I hope they know that.
This image is my little mama owl that will be released to Fresh Brewed Designs on October 7th. This Saturday is our first Blog Hop!!! It will be on Saturday and Sunday and there will be a prize for both days. Please mark your calendars and join in with us. The hop will start on the Doodle Street blog and go from there. I can't wait to share our new images with you!
I made this card for the Simon Says challenge. This is my very first time participating there and I am glad I stumbled upon it from anthers blog. The challenge was to include stitching of some kind on your card. I chose to draw mine ... I have yet to figure out how to thread the sewing machine my mom gave me :/.
Hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping in and visiting with me for a while.
**Edited** that same sweet little baby girl ... who is trying to not go to bed... kept me inher room talking. The last thing she said as she turned on her side and I tucked her in went something like this:
"Mama".
What is it Hannah?
"I wish I pooped gold poop."**Edited** that same sweet little baby girl ... who is trying to not go to bed... kept me inher room talking. The last thing she said as she turned on her side and I tucked her in went something like this:

I snickered
"If I pooped gold poop I could buy a mansion with a nursery, craft room, play room for my kids ... couldn't I Mama?"
Yes, Hannah you probably could
"If I did I would get to keep mine and you could keep yours. We would have to poop in buckets!"
laughing and went out the door ... Good night Hannah. I love you.
"I love you too mom."

Oh my goodness! Have I told you I am IN LOVE with your owls?? I am going to have to save up and get more at the release!! When Dominic was a baby he got that book for his Christening. We read it almost every night together as he got older. I cried MY EYES out the first time I read it and just about every time there after. Thanks for sharing your bed time story... it made me laugh out loud!! Love you girlie!
