A genealogist's view of a mother

This morning, I was sitting on the chair while my husband was making my mother's day breakfast, and I started to think that I wanted to make a mother's day quote that could be also used as a genealogy quote... A few minutes later, this is what was created:

 

Then another one came to my mind, and I feel that it really shows how important mothers are in a family tree.

I know that to us genealogists, a mother's maiden name can be frustrating when not found, because it means slowing  down our researches, pulling our hair, sleepless nights, but we carry something that will not show on the paper. 

 It is a love that gets carried down from generation to generation and  defines us much more than a last name could.

It took just a couple minutes to make these 2 pages (it took more to think of the quotes:)).

I just love how putting a quote on a page and beautifying it with images just enhances the whole meaning of it.

I just want to wish a happy mother's day to the mother that were, the mothers that are, and the mothers that will bless the lives of children all over the world!

Treasure Chest Thursday: 10/29/09 : Creating my family jewels

Ever since I heard of Treasure Chest Thursday I have been  thinking about my family treasures:" Should I post about my mother's necklace ,my grandma's earrings or my childhood jewelery first?",  but then I just felt that my first Treasure chest Thursday, should be about my most valuable and precious treasures: my children.

They are all to me and nothing is nearly as important as them. For them I would give up all my other family treasures, if I needed to.
Well, since they are my jewels, I have decided to wear them!
It surely helps that one of the new Heritage Makers Product is a photo bracelet, so I created mine:

Isn't it cute? I like that I can add any embellishment I want, so as you can see, I put the letters to form the word mom in between the pictures of my kids.

They ship with the pictures already inserted, so I won't have to go crazy messing up the picture until it works!

You need to know that since I got children I have lost most of my interest in wearing jewelery, especially since my sweet babies have been pulling each and every necklace and earrings I was stubborn enough to wear, so I have just given up, but this bracelet looks sturdy enough to withstand my "hurricane" boys! Because it is backed up by the heirloom warranty, I know that should something happen(should my baby happen!) I can order a new one for half the price!

I am going to order this bracelet this week, with all the other projects I have been working on!

I can't wait to wear it!

Stay tuned as I will report to let you know if it survived my baby!;)

Treasure Chest Thursday is a daily blogging theme used by many genealogy bloggers to help them post content on their sites.
