Tattered Flower Challenge...Spring????

Here in the Mid-Missouri area, celebrating the coming of spring is definately questionable this weekend.  There is a chill in the air and you can feel snow in the air... I know a lot of people really enjoy that fluffy white stuff but to me it is definately the ultimate four letter word.  After the winter we have had, I have had enough... Mother Nature ---enough is ENOUGH. Bring on the sun and fun.  I am ready for green grass, the feel of the sun on my skin, flip flops and beautiful flowers.

 

Now when I think of spring, I can not help but think of the spring of 2001... April the 6th to be exact.  That was the day my life change for the rest of my life.  I became a mom. Now some women are born to be moms and know they will be great moms from the very beginning, then there are women  like myself that never knew what an amazing gift if was to have children.  Haley is now going on 12 and I enjoy her a little more everyday.  Where has the time gone???  With every coming of spring I know another year has gone by and I wonder how time passes so fast.  This piece is from her second birthday. 

When I saw the distress paints I could see Haleys sweater set from pictures when she turned 2.  I made flowers out of the tattered flower die cut and scrunched them together and wrapped them with flower tape.  Hope you like my little creation of my not so little girl.
