An enjoyable Mother's Day

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Mother's Day.

As for me, it was pretty spectacular despite not physically having 2 of my sons sharing the day. One of those two sent me flowers and the other . . . Well doesn't care for me much.

Our oldest son is getting married in a few months. He and his fiancé sent these flowers -------

The colors are so vibrant I love them!

I was blessed with another basket of flowers that was accompanied with a pink photo album from another son ------

These are so bright and cheery!

I so much treasure having flowers in the house!

We went out to the mall to play one of my favorite games:

Awesome gifts kids can make for Mother's Day

With Mothers Day right around the bend I can't help but look at all the links I see for tutorials to make a gift for Mom!

I have spotted so many that grabbed my attention, I want to make them all!

Did you know Hallmark has card contests all the time? Well while I was over on their site I also discovered that they have some really cute craft projects that kids can make to give as a Mother's Day gift! You can find the flower crafts shown below there.

Aren't the above corsages and pins awesome?

What mother doesn't appreciate pictures? The bottle cap craft below is definitely a smile maker!

Find instructions here

On the same site this necklace caught my eye. It seems real simple yet looks so sweet! Great craft for a child to make.

Blossoming Button

Another fabulous gift the kids can make for Mom is a set of framed handprints.
With the handprints all using coordinating papers, it makes such a nice collection of wall art. Either use the link shown in the picture or go to modpodgerocks blog to see how you can make (I mean, the kids) can make their own!
