Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother's Day to women everywhere! My favorite gift today was purely coincidental - Hope is 18 months and was able to go to nursery for the first time today! I attended all three of my meetings. I participated in Relief Society. I was even in attendance long enough to say the closing prayer. It was a miraculous day. I think I'll savor this as much as possible for the next 4 months. And then it begins again... Ah, motherhood.

I have been wanting to make family silhouettes ever since I saw Nienie's wall way back when. We just took profile pics which I printed out and traced on paper, then scanned back into the computer. We filled the silhouettes with black in Photoshop, and now I have these fun images to play with. I felt a little mannish with my short hair, so added in some flowers to make me glam. (UPDATE: Jon tells me my glam flowers look like a brain. He's so right!)

Here is Nienie's wall.

I also love these pendants found here. They would make such cute Christmas ornaments, along with a myriad of other things.

I think this wall is kind of sweet, too. Found here.

One more thing to love about silhouettes - fun fun stationary. Our family probably wouldn't fit this format - but it is definitely an inspiration!
