Not too sure if I mentioned it before or not, but Mum is a super sentimental kind of person and it’s really great that she is because she has kept all the cards that we made her while we were growing up and today, I can show them to you. I made her dig it up! *lol* I didn’t think she minded because it brought back memories, I’m sure. Both sis and I grew up making cards for both Mum and Dad. We rarely bought cards or gifts for them. They were always handmade - made with lots of love.
But I guess as we grew older and moved on with life, the small but meaningful gestures and action were lost along the way. Now, we still send her cards but they are mostly stuff you get from the store. I think it’s about time that I got back into the habit of making cards again. I used to love it and I actually still do but I seem to have lost all my artistic ideas and have a blank mind! How do I get those creative juices flowing?? Anyway, while I figure it out and if you have some to share, please do…..in the meantime, here’s my sharing.
The poem of 1998 reads :
Dearest Mummy,
You gave me life, you gave me love
You gave me more than I deserve
For in my heart you know it’s true
All I have is love for you
So on this very special day
I have three words I wish to say
I hold them dear, I hold them true
For these three words are…
“I love you”!
This is the outside, here is the inside.
Dad’s & Mum’s 21st Wedding Anniversary card - don’t ask me what it means. I can’t remember why I made the card this way. 
This is the outside of the card, here is the inside.
Hope you enjoyed it. It’s been awhile since I joined S&T and now, I think I was also the last to post this!

Oh, what fun to see your old cards! I keep a lot of stuff, too, that my kids have made. I have a daughter who calls me ‘muum’ , partly because I call her ‘Em’ , instead of Emily, so she came up with Muum as MY nickname! fun to visit your blog today!
