Happy Mother’s Day, Momma. Hope it was a wonderful day,… wish I could have been out on the East Coast with you today!
I had a fun time on Thursday, putting together some Mother’s Day packages for both, my mom and J’s mom.
For J’s mom, I baked her very own zucchini bread recipe, which she gave me a year or so ago. Instead of bread though, I turned them into muffins. I thought they’d be fun for her to receive since it’s a special recipe that she has used for many years.
And, for my mom, I made her favorite oatmeal raisin cookies, which I must have started making in fifth grade. These have always been her favorites and since she lives so far away, I thought it’d be such a nice surprise for her to receive them.
I packed them up in some cute gift boxes and sent them out priority mail with USPS. And, I heard today that both of them shipped well. I’ve really caught onto the whole baking and mailing thing,….it’s great!
And since I’ve gotten into the whole paper thing
, I had to include some “Lydia’s Pen and Paper” stationary…
I loved how they turned out. So, if you’d like to order a set of stationary, please let me know. I will be putting more samples up on my Pen and Paper site very soon!
So,…happy Mother’s Day everyone!! Give your Momma a kiss!
