Mothers Day Bottle Swap ♥

Happy Mothers Day!

Hope you are having the wonderful day that you deserve ♥

I was teamed up with Miz Molleye for the Mothers Day bottle swap!
What a fun swap this was:)
Molleye sent me a bottle filled with things that represented her mother and I in turn, sent a bottle with things that my mom loves... you can see my bottle HERE.

Here is the bottle that Molleye sent me, she said her mom was NOT a girly girl like mine, lol!
My moms bottle was LOADED with pink!!

Look at all this loot!!


Some super cute altered Vintage Halloween dominoes, her mom loved to play games!

Lots more game pieces to represent her moms love for games:)

Fun sewing notions; her mom loved to sew!

A deck of cards, 20 questions cards and a sewing kit...

...a couple of altered books made by Molleye!
A mini french-english dictionary that my oldest son snatched up!!
Her mom loved to travel!

Here are some of the pages from the book Molleye made to help me learn more about her mom...

Here is a pic of her lovely mom, she also loved to cook!

She told the story of how her mom met her dad, so cute!

Her mom loved to dance the jitterbug:)


Her mom visited the Bahamas, Paris and London.
She enjoyed a nip of Old Crow, hated coffee!

Love of games: poker, checkers, solataire, dominoes...
she loved musicals too!

She loved her grandkids and raised an english bulldog...
looks like she went to horse races too.

Molleye said her mom was very creative, loved to wear moo-moo gowns!!


She loved cross word puzzles and was very funny!
Loved her family with a fierceness as Molleye said.

Molleye's mom is no longer with her, but is in Heaven. I'm sure that Molleyes mom is with her today, looking down upon her from Heaven with eyes filled with love ♥

-------------------------------------

Just wanted to tell a Happy Mothers Day to my mom Lori, who is LUCKY enough to be in Disney!
Yep, moms soaking up the Florida sun with my brother Marc.
I'm the only one who hasn't gotten a trip with her yet, but its hard with me having two lil ones!
We have a day trip in the works to Amish Country for some shopping soon, and  a trip with us and the boys to a great kids museum up near St. Joe Michigan too.

Mom, I love you and appreciate all you do!


Happy Mothers Day!!!

Noelle ♥
