Months ago I made a fingerprint charm for myself and for Grammie. I didn't take a picture of it though :( I braided some embroidery floss to loop through the charm so Grammie can wear it as a necklace or she can use it as a keychain.
Camden painted a box for Grammie and I added some ribbon to it. I think he did an amazing job at using all the paint colours. The mess....well, it was easy to clean up and we had fun, so who cares?
And a video of our painting process:

The finished gift
I also printed a card that Grammie can frame if she chooses to.
I never have the right words to use when trying to express myself. I always feel I fall short but I would like to try.
I remember days of baking bread, hot lunches, special round bread sandwiches, backyard camping and belly laughs. I remember being held during illnesses, hugged when sad and hurt. I remember softness and tired hands. I remember sadness and tears and worry. I remember scoldings not given for my stupidity, ears open to listen. I remember button jars, knitting needles and crochet hooks. I remember hat shops, yarn and sewing machines. I remember hard work, volunteerism and dedication. I remember you Mum and I love you more than I could ever say. Thank you for who you are, what you have taught me, thank you for everything I remember.
If I can give Camden half the wonderful memories that I have of you, then I have done a good job as his Mum-Mum.
Happy Mother's Day to the best Mum a girl could ever want. Happy Mother's Day to Camden's Grammie! We all love you very much!
