Saturday was my mom’s birthday. She’s alright, I guess. As far as old ladies go.
I have been known in the past to get somewhat sentimental and write weepy posts about those I love. This is not one of those times. This time, I made us into zombies.
I called the picture “Mom Zombie” because it sounds like Rob Zombie. Aren’t I clever with good taste in music?
But that’s not all! In addition to the really thoughtful gift certificate we gave her. I did some minor crafting.
I took a mason jar and trimmed it in a jute and fall ribbon.
Then put a candle and faux fall foliage (say that three times fast) in.
When I gave it to her, I said “If it looks as though the candle has already been lit… It’s because it has. Happy birthday!”
I guess I’m a blogger first and a daughter second, these days.
But in all seriousness… My mom’s better than your mom.






HAHA! This is awesome! I’m sure she loved her Zombie photo. I think this concept would make great personalized Christmas cards…
Happy birthday to your mom! Your little candle project turned out really cute too!
I sure am glad I didn’t have to give you heck! Sounds like you all had a great time
Love the picture of the zombies…zombies are eternal. Your candle turned out well too!
Hahahaa! You two look so similar! Or I’m pretty sure you do underneath the zombie-ness
Happy Birthday Amy’s mom!
Your mom and I almost have the same birthday, mine was Sunday. Happy Birthday Amy’s Mom!
