Big wishes to those of you who are celebrating today. Happy Mother's Day. And even if you already celebrated Mothering Sunday, I will still wish you a Happy Mother's Day, being a mother is hard work.And this is for you whether have people children or fur baby children or both.
I went to visit my mother yesterday with my daughter.
The exciting news with her is that she has been in rehab for 2 months now as we were figuring out what to do with her. I know that might sound strange that we didn't know what to do with her, but she had some kind of infection and had seemed to go downhill and the opinion was she couldn't handle being back in her apartment and needed a higher care facility. But then as she recovered she bounced back, pretty good for 89 1/2, and so tomorrow she goes back to her apartment.
We had a nice visit yesterday with her. And it was nice for me to also spend the day not only with Mom, but with my daughter. And it was a beautiful day too with really blue sky, as you can see from these photo I snapped in the car.
I took it not for the blue skies but how these leaves had the best yellowish color.
(And thanks CJ for the note about WPI's graduation. It was also Assumption's graduation too, and we go by both since Mom is living on the upper end of Salisbury St. We managed to get around the traffic for both nicely.)
And a bouquet for you today.
I made by page by first using a stencil and some bits of leftover paint with the stencil. Then I sprayed it with some blue ink. The flowers are some from the Studio Light punch outs and the butterflies are some from a bag of butterfly stickers I have. The bloom word is also from a Studio Light punch out, but I enhanced it with some glitter glue.
Finally I added the stamped quote.
Since there are butterflies on my page and the beautiful blue sky, I am linking up to Art Journal Journey and the In the Air/In the Sky challenge.
I will also remind you you still have a few days for the things with wings challenge at Try It On Tuesday Hope to see your art at both of these challenges!
Have (or hope you are having) a wonderful rest of your weekend.

It sounds like a good Mother's Day. I'm so glad your mom has been able to be in rehab because it sounds like a safe place and now a return home, which will be joyful and good too.
Happy Mother's Day to you and yours :) I hope your mom continues to do well.
Your photo does show a gorgeous spring scene. Spring has its own fresh appeal.
That's really good news about your mother, Erika. How wonderful that she has got better and can go back home.
The butterflies and flowers really jump out of the turquoise background as a great illustration of nature bursting out of the earth at this time.
Happy belated Mother's Day, dear Erika. Your mother looks good for 89 1/2. You have great genes, I can tell. SO glad she is bouncing back, too.
OMGosh. Your flowers are gorgeous, and your butterflies are amazing. This is a stunning entry and perfect for Mother's Day as well as your theme at Art Journal Journey.
What a beautiful lady your mom is. Such good news that she is able to return to her own apartment, I am sure she will be more than pleased to still have her independence.
Thanks for the lovely bright page you have treated us to here. I love how the red stands out against the blue background and the word "Bloom" looks very dimensional .
Hugs, Neet xx
