the gift.....




saved fabrics from my Mom's favorite plaid shirts & denim...........a few years back, i had quilts made for my girls from Nannie's favs and gave them to each on Mom's birthday, Feb.12............i kept forgetting to buy backing for mine, until a few months ago...................told her no hurry...........................................out of the blue, sweet Lisa called my husband at work, mentioned it was finished and would make a nice Valentine present.....his response "her birthday is this week"...........long story short, when i woke up yesterday morn it was waiting on me with the sweetest card EVER........................what a sweet surpise, both from my husband & my Mom's ever present spirit .......................................................oh yes, i am truly one blessed woman!

Denise, I have a question for you. I have started my own Picturetrail album but I can't figure out how to get it to my site. If you could give me any hints I would be very thankful. Lisa at labbey@neo.rr.com or http://lisa-smile-lisa.blogspot.com thanks.
