A Mother's Gift
Sunday, May 11, 2008 by Shutter Sisters 
Happy Mother’s Day Sisters!
In honor of the mother’s out there, the generous and ever-so-talented sisters at Blue Poppy Jewelry are offering one lucky shutter sister their thoughtfully created motherhood necklace especially for Mother’s Day. It’s our first ever giveaway here and we are delighted it’s come from Blue Poppy. You know we’re big fans. As a matter of fact…we’ve got a very exciting project in the works with them that will soon be revealed (here’s hoping your interest is now officially piqued) but for today, it’s about our little celebration of motherhood.
Because many of you are busy basking in the glow of handmade cards and clay handprints, today we’re making it easy on you. All you have to do to be included in the random drawing for the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace is leave a comment here anytime between now and Monday at midnight EST and on Tuesday, we will reveal the lucky winner. If you’d like to share a link to a photo that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in that mama way, you are most welcome but the only thing you have to do is leave a comment.
Speaking of warm and fuzzy…what about this gorgeous and poignant self-portrait a la Toyfoto? Her work makes me weepy. Weepy or hysterical with laughter. And as synchronicity has it (I swear it was a total coincidence), it’s her birthday today. Happy Birthday to you Siobhan! Is it me or is there something kinda magical about that?
Again, Happy Mother’s Day to you. May you enjoy every minute of your day. And don’t forget to hand over the camera (or at least use your self-timer). You can always use a photo of the day to enter the MamaFocus contest too. Just a thought.
edited to add- Congratulations to Anna of the blog Hank and Willie. She is the lucky winner of the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace. Hooray for Anna! Thanks to all of you who commented. It was nice to get your Mother’s Day wishes. We hope yours was wonderful.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you amazing super moms out there!!!
It's my first "official" Mother's Day & I'm happy just to be in the club!!
My Kaia Rae is 8 months old now, YAY!!
thank-you ever so much for choosing my hand
to hold as we both learned how to be mother
and child for the very first time
taking baby steps, teaching and learning
from each other a day at a time...
and then a most marvelous gift from you... a grandchild!
happy mothers day and thank-you for still choosing my hand to hold
while holding your own sweet babies. love you dearly, your mom
