HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I saw where someone had made something like this in the metal stamped jewelry and thought I would try my hand at it. Each initial is for each of us kids for our mom and then I added the "love" charm. I had learned a couple of things:
1. practice how hard you have to hit the letter stamp with the hammer on a pice of metal and use a hammer NOT a mallet
2. use a block of metal or the concrete floor and NOT a wooden block



And here is the bracelet the Jessica, Dan, Mabry, Betsy and Sven got for me.
Mom, don't look. Remember, your bracelet was my first.


Here is hoping that everyone, where ever you are, and with whom ever mom you are with, that you are having a wonderful day.
