Join our Blog Hop on Scrapbook Place!

Welcome to our Mother's Day and Father's Day Blog Hop!  Expect to see some great cards, layouts and projects that will hopefully inspire you to find a handmade way to show your love for your parents. 

And what would a Blog Hop be without prizes??  This month, we have a lovely offering from Shannon Leffew.  Here's what she has to say about herself:

Hello! I am a wife and SAHM of 4. I have been scrapbooking since 1997 and have since fell in love doing altered projects. I created my etsy store to earn a little extra income. I feature mostly flowers in my store but I will also do custom orders for almost anything. In my spare time I also like to garden, take pics, read and host parties. Please stop by my blog and leave me some love http://shannonleffew.blogspot.com .  I would also love it if you would visit me at my Etsy store HERE. 
Pictured is just a sampling of her flowers.
Since we are so close to Mother's Day, I will feature her on this blog today:
While my Mom has been gone for a while, I still have many fond memories of her: Drawing artsy pictures on my lunch bag to take to school (oh how I wish I'd saved those-they were SO good), Of going to visit her down in the basement of the Visual Arts dept at NCState University where she was a Darkroom Technician-she would develop pictures for all the Professors and would let me "create" pieces of art using the photo lab and her developing rooms, her beautiful writing even after she had had a stroke that kept her from saying what she truly wanted to say...One funny instance occured when she was visiting us and we were remodeling the kitchen.  This was after the stroke and of course because of the construction, people were in and out, during the summer, flys coming in too-she was wanting to make herself useful and was looking for the fly swatter to keep them at bay.  Well, bless her soul, she couldn't make us understand what she was looking for-finally she burst out with "SPLATTER-ALL"...HeHe I think we figured out what she was wanting and How appropriate!
I miss her everyday but will always cherish her smile, especially when I look at my daughter and see her looking back at me...
So, check out our offerings here, and then hop on down the list to see what everyone else has in store for your viewing pleasure.  Don't forget to leave a little love at each blog. Everyone who does gets a chance to win some beautiful flowers from Shannon!  Then come back here and tell us a favorite story about your mom or dad.  After all, where would we be without our parents!
