Fun Information about Mother's Day, and an easy and inexpensive gift idea too!

In honor of Mother's Day, on Sunday, May 8, 2011, I found a fun link to a site that explains the history of Mother's Day. It also has some quotes that would be nice in a simple card for your Mom.

Link here to find out why this is such a fun day to celebrate how great Mom's are!

It can be hard to figure out a perfect, and creative gift to give to your cool mom. But, after looking around the web for gift ideas, I found a great gift for Mom that you could easily do on your own:

Find an old frame, or pick one up from a goodwill store.
Get sturdy paper and any type of acrylic paint.
Take your hands, press them carefully in the paint, and then onto the paper.
Do one hand print, for each member of your family...or maybe just the kids.
Sign and date, wait for it to dry, and place in frame.
Voila! A cool and unique gift that any Mom would love!

Here are 2 versions of this idea...it would be easy and fast to make!

Have fun, and Happy Mother's Day!
