Simply fold the card stock in half to create your card.

Use a purple gel pen to write "To: Mom" on the front and to write your personalized message inside. Or if you like, use this special poem written by Amanda Formaro.

Mom's Special Day

On this very special day
The chores we will take care of
For you we want some luxury
Usually you won't hear of

So take this time to enjoy
Some bubbles and some peace
Some soothing sounds and smells
Your tensions will release

We love you Mom with all our hearts
Nothing can compare
The love you've shown for all these years
To pamper is only fair
