    Flower power

    A real bouquet is gorgeous, but these petal pretties won’t fade away in a week or two. Make a big one to put on the kitchen counter, or a tiny one for Mom to take to work. Just be sure not to snip up any old pics that can’t be replaced without permission.

     

    Check it out here!

    You’re growin’ on me

    All you need for the too-cute craft that can morph from bulb planter to candle holder is an empty tuna can (or other shallow container) and a handful of clothespins. Cheap, easy and totally adorable with the construction paper hearts. Tuck in a note and you’re set!

     

    Get it here!

    Black and white

    Got a stack of B&W prints from when Mom or Grandma was little? Specialty shops can print them on glass for you. They make lovely vases, votives, tumblers and canisters, and are a cute way of putting a little piece of the past on display.

     

    Grab it here!

    Double letter score

    This one is easy peasy. Head to a crafts store and grab a frame with multiple spots for photos. Grab your sibs or cousins and pick a word that has enough letters for each of you to hold on in your photo. Cut ‘em out of card stock and snap away!

     

    Snag it here!

  • craft-5.jpg
    Flip it

    Tons of crafts store (and even places like Target) sell teeny flip-style or accordion-style photo albums or scrapbooks for cheap. Pick one up for each lady you’re celebrating this weekend and then bust out your crafting kit. Decorate the cover with a photo and cutesy add-ons, like ribbon, buttons, rhinestones and shells. Don’t  forget to fill up the inside pages with snaps, quotes and memories.

Do you know of any creative mother's day cards? While buying gifts, I forgot to get her one and I have some nice scrapbook paper to use. So I want it to be pretty but different. Thanks!



Hey babe,

Your mother will always prefer something that you've made from your heart as opposed to anything bought.  So why not make your own and make it special from you, just for her?

Hey megrace36, you could write a poem. In the poem let her know how much she is loved and how much you guys appreciate her even though you guys don't show it all the time. You could even type it in pretty cursive and print it out for her. Of you have an extra frame laying around put it in it. Hope this helps! Xoxo

what should I do for my mom. I got in a fight with her today, she has been really emotional recently. She is sad that this is her first mothers day since her and my dad seperated, and my brothers are putting in no effort, they aren't even here today. So how can I make her mother's day great Lynae P.
