With Mother's Day falling so close to my mom Sheri's birthday, I wanted to make something special for her this year.
My mom bought this wooden castle a while ago, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to break out the paints and create a personalized gift.
I splashed on a little color--the teal will go nicely in her guest bedroom--
and let the paint dry over night before brightening up the towers with a couple layers of titanium white.
I thought it turned out quite nicely.
And now my mom has a castle to visit whenever she wants to feel like a Queen for a day.
Wishing you a year of love, happiness, and dreams come true, Mom!

Sherri,
"Believing hear, what you deserve to hear:
Your birthday as my own to me is dear...
But yours gives most; for mine did only lend
Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend.

Nel,
I'm still deciding where to put my castle bird house. It's too pretty to put outside, but wouldn't it be nice if it was in the back yard and some hummingbirds came my way?
Thank you for your gift. You all made my birthday so special.
Love,
~Mom
