Sentimental Mother

This week at Sentimental Sundays we have a special challenge!  "Mother's Day" or "For a Woman." The reason why this one is special is that we will have an optional challenge of "Craft with a Child." We feel that it's a wonderful thing to be able to bond with a child through crafting and art!
For all those who submit something created by a son, daughter, niece, nephew, child next door, etc, you will automatically receive the Krafty Kids Sentiments for the crafty child and the Mother's Day Sentiments for the crafty adult who helped them.
We also have Deedee's Digis as a sponsor this week, but to go along with that some sad news. Deedee will be closing shop on May 15th so therefore will no longer sponsor us :(
I have been with Deedee since the beginning and will miss her beautiful stamps but completely understand her decision to close the business. Today's economy makes it hard for a small company to survive.  Please stop by her store and grab some of her lovely digis before she closes shop.
To play along with us create you project for Mother's Day and link it to the Sentimental Sundays challenge blog. If you post to an online gallery please use keyword sentimentalsendays53
