Best Mom
FOUND by A. M. Eckard in Easthampton, Massachusetts
I found this in a copy of Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" in Cherry Picked Books.

If I print this out and give it to my mom, I wonder if she'll realize I didn't make it myself. Happy Mother's Day everyone.

The Captain, and it won't let me sign in today.
Awwwww! how cute is that! Low budget (highlighter pen, ballpoint, and printer paper.) Kid art for Mom's Day is the BEST!!

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there. Let your kids fix you dinner- maybe you can have candy corn.

It says "I'm the best mom" on the right hand.

I'm intrigued by the headgear...Mennonite Mom in a prayer cap? 1920's cloche hat? Or does Mom have Deppity Dawg ears? (No, I'm pretty sure those aren't her ears...pretty sure.) Wombles have long droopy ears...maybe she's a Womble!

I wonder if the person who made this Super-mom is a child or a teen...and if the "I'm great, the best mom in the world" is the self-talk they keep hearing from Mom. If a teen, there could be some subtle satire going on here.

Yeah, but....it's kind of an oink-ish nose, eh?

it's self talk- the mum made the card to look like it was made by a kid- part of the affirmations in the book. (which is a *wonderful* book if a bit...sugary)
Aside from the puppy-hat, mum is wearing an american-apparel unitard and some nice rainbows... happy mother's day! I'M GRAET! UR WUNDERFOOL!

lars in all my forms in the nwc?
to someone speiecal
as if the kid wasn't sure who he/she would give it to
or to give it that store-bought quality
it'd work for me
happy mother's day, and espeiecally to slhb on your first

Hey Lars, congrats on the new baby in your life!

James and Jason, thanks for the sweet mom's day finds. xo

Happy Mothers's Day to all!

--Farmer, is she oink-ish or just very sad with a double chin? Perhaps very sad *because* of the double chin? I'd be.

Damn. My first math-spam question. I've been very lucky with my spam questions but I'm sure Found knows I just turned in my very last math final and I'm just itching to do more division.

As a teacher of young children, I am quite certain that is hair and a baseball cap on top. This is precious...someone loves Mom very much. My girls are 11 and 14, and I have saved every single love note like this that they ever wrote me.

Melanie, I see it now. I was interpreting the "peak" of the cap as a bow. Seeing as how mobcaps went out in about 1890, all is now revealed...

Awww... this is sweet.

I'm kind of disappointed though, I orignally thought this was a dog mom, but I can see the baseball hat now. Oh well.

Very sweet! My 20 year old son made me some Mother's Day cards like this, back in public school.
I've saved them all, too!

Homemade is much better than store bought!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ALL!!

How very appropriate... My mom owned this book.

Here's to you, Mom, on my first Mother's Day without you.
