Tulips for Mother's Day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! Hope you'll get loads of hugs and kisses tomorrow! I know I will and I'm looking forward to it :o) My 7-year old daughter has been gift-wrapping some surprises while asking me if I think I will like her gifts... Because, except for one, they don't come from the store but she made them all herself... Wellllll, let me tell ya, I think handmade gifts are the best ever!! Especially the ones made by my precious daughter!! Can't wait to see... She's been secretly making some things and I wasn't allowed to come into her room for days! LOL!

Here's the Mother's Day card I made for my MIL.... in her favorite color! I'm so happy it made it all the way to the Netherlands in time! :o)
