Service Auction

Last week the women's organization at our church held a Service Auction. It was a wonderful night, and the women who put it together did a fabulous job! (Thank you Rochelle and Jamie and all of your helpers.) I've heard many of the women comment about how much fun they had at this event.

For some reason, I was having a mental block about what to donate for the auction. Finally, I decided to donate Mom Cards. These are simple business cards with Mom's contact information that can be given to teachers or playmates or kept in your child's backpack for an emergency, etcetera. The sister who "bought" the cards suggested that I include a quote about being a mom.

I did some searching through my extensive quote database (thank you to Lara and her husband for supplying this tool to organize them) but nothing seemed quite right. I really wanted to include something about the fact that Krista is talented, creative, and artistic. Today, I invented a quote of my own:

"A mother is an artist whose greatest masterpiece
is the nature of her children sketched upon her heart."

I hope she likes it.

I wish I could have gone.. It sounds like it was fun.. But looks like June 1st.. We will be back if everything works out with the place we are looking at... Keep your fingers crossed!

Ps. I hate those signs in the Doctors offices about the 15 min.. Because I have found that if you confront them on how long you have waited.. They are not always nice about it..Ha Ha..

You gies are awesome and I like your quote. Without a mother I think everyone would be lost. Not that the dads aren't important too. You know what I mean I hope. I miss you all so much. Hope to see you soon.

If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart!
