HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

Here is what I made her for her birthday (but I forgot to take a picture of the final product with her favorite scripture verses.)  I “stole” her Bible at one point to find where she wrote down/underlined the verses and then wrote down the references to find in my Bible so she wouldn’t notice hers was missing.

My Granddaddy was an avid bird watcher, you know, the kind that sets out the multiple bird feeders and bird houses. My aunt gave me one of his old wooden bird feeders (a National Geographic, apparently) and I saw in a Birds and Blooms magazine a firehouse red bird feeder that looked similar to his. I decided to spray paint it red to give it a new look, but to keep the sentimental value. Here’s the result:

The gift in the flower bag is some of my grandparents campfire roasting tools my aunt gave me and so I decided my mom ought to have them because of sentimentality. It has the most interesting hot dog roaster.

All in all, my mom was blessed with birthday presents form my grandparents even though they are no longer here to give it and I almost got her to cry happy tears. ;)  She loved the gifts!
