For Moms!


Bookmarks made with cardstock and painted in acrylics

A mother laughs
Our laughter,
Sheds our tears,
Returns our love,
Fears our fears
She lives our joys,
Cares our cares,
And all our hopes
and dreams she shares.
-Julia Summers

This quote is from a flyer that Lil A's school, Rajagiri International, gave to all the parents who attended the Mother's Day celebration today. It was a wondeful event with a Fashion Show (I didn't participate:)) for the moms. There was a compatibility test of the child with the mom in their respective classes. Kids had a blast of a time; and even we-the mothers! Lil A and I won the compatibility test of their class and she even crowned me with a cardstock crown with a glittering golden star in the middle while the children of the class applauded. It was a ecstatic! 

I am very much reminded of my mom...LOVE her!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

    Happy Mother's Day Deepa! Sounds like it was such a fun day with Lil A:):) Congratulations on winning the compatability test, though I am not surprised:):) And for getting your art in the magazine - they knew talent when they saw it:)

    Hi Deepaz. I didn't know you changed the name of your blog. Your posts haven't been showing up in my list, I don't know why. I'll have to check on that. Sorry about that. Congrats on the publications, it's an awesome painting, love it. Happy late Mother's Day to you too. Your follower's still shows my pic on there so that means I'm following you and I would have come had I seen you had posted but your posts aren't showing up on my read list. I'll check into it. Have a great week and I always remember you.:)) Take care.
