If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been. ~Robert Brault
Isn’t that the truth? We have all felt the love, tears, and prayers of the mothers in our lives. With Mother’s Day just a few days (I know….DAYS!) away, it’s time to get to work on something meaningful to show our love and appreciation, right? I have compiled just a few ideas that might resonate with you and that are sure to show your love in a wonderful way!
If you live a distance away from your mother, or grandmother, Shelley’s brilliant and sweet idea will make for a memorable Mother’s Day gift this year!
Long Distance “Date” With Grandma
We all know Alison’s brilliance with wood working, and this Mother’s Day idea is no exception! Flowers are always a hit for our mother’s, but why not make her something that will keep beautiful flowers blooming all season long! This is simple enough for even ME to do!
Speaking of flowers..Missy shares an ingenious idea that will be fun to receive and fun to use. Did you know that you can give flowers that give flowers? Read on!
Plantable Seeded Paper Flowers
I fell in love with Alison’s “I Love You” pad idea. Let’s face it..as women, we do for others all day and then some. How nice it would be to be rewarded with love AND…ahem…money! This is one idea you won’t want to miss!
We know how much Moms love to display photos of their children and grandchildren for the world to see. Why not make this gorgeous and unique plexi-glass frame, then pop in a new photo of your little one in for a gift that is as beautiful as it is practical!
I had to throw this one in for good measure. Are you an expecting mother? How fun to share the news on Mother’s day! You’ll want to read Shelley’s post on creative ways to “spill the beans”! Oh, and read the comments, too, for even more ideas!
If I were looking for a gift for MYSELF this mother’s day, this would be it. This is a sleek and easy way to not only store your child’s artwork, but create a keepsake at the same time. I’m thinking…printing off extras for Grandparents, too! Love this!
Or make any of these fun projects! You’ll find something unique and special that will be just what your mom needs! Happy Crafting!

Let’s make a big effort to do something meaningful for the moms in our lives this year. They mean so much, have taught us so much, and love us so much. They deserve it, right? And to all of the mother-figures out there, can I just say…We appreciate you! Enjoy this Mother’s day!
