So for Mother's Day this year I decided to call upon the talents of Lisa at GigglenGroove. Lisa is funny as all get up, has 3 gorgeous kids and makes the best jewellery and hair bows going around. Go visit her website, I'm sure you won't be able to leave without getting something!
So the talented Lisa got to work with my oh so not very specific design criteria (I am as creative as a dead fish remember), and came up with the perfect bracelet on the first go. It has all 4 of her grandchildren's names on it, and I told my sister in law if she has another kid she can pay for the alteration!
So a couple of weeks ago mum sprouts "I don't want ANY presents for Mothers Day this year I don't need anything". Yeah ripper mum I'd just organised the bracelet.
Sooooooooooo, I gave it to mum today so she gets NOTHING for Mother's Day as requested.
Of course she loved it and I am now her favourite daughter. The fact I am her only daughter is irrelevant.
Mum, you do so much for us, put your life on hold for us, and you are always there for us. And you are so much fun, I bet not too many of my friends have their favourite wedding memory being their mother dancing on stage with the band, tapping your shoes above your head! And like that time in Noosa when you.......ah just kidding I won't tell that story :)
So happy "No presents day", love you xxxxxx

You funny thing, you really just couldn't wait to give it to her, could you? ;) It is stunning as is all Lisa's work of course; I adore my mother's bracelet, wearing my beloveds on my arm - bet your Mum will enjoy hers just as much (and wear it on Mother's Day). Good work on shoring up the favourite daughter status for another year LOL

Ohhh, very nice indeed. Jules I did try to convince Georgie to put my name on the card to help my adoption process, but needless to say it didn't happen.
Have a great mothers day Jules!

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your support. It means so much. I think I just need to take some time and we will make the right decision. Hopefully I will go in the right direction after a few appointments that we have lined up for this week.
Take care and thanks again

Me again to say firstly that I LMFAO @ the shark sex quote of the week. Last week I wandered past Sophie on the couch with her eyes tightly shut. Why? So she didn't have to watch the crocodiles "doing sex"! What is this reptile porn masquerading as educational children's tv???? LOL
And 2ndly, I've tagged you on my blog ;)
