Countdown to Mother's Day

I blogged about our Mother's Day ideas two weeks ago to encourage you to get a jump start on your projects.  Did you take my advice? I'd love to see your pictures if you did. There are a ton of linky parties right now, so I was hesitant to start one. I really do want to see your projects though! You can share them with us over on Facebook or leave a comment here with your links.




I decided to try a little something extra with our pots this year by painting them before adding fingerprints. I didn't think it was possible, but I love them even more this way. The pictures below show it best, even though it was still a little wet so I hadn't written around the edges yet. I hope all the mothers adore them. You can grab a copy of our poems if you still need a little note to go with your projects.







 
 
If you're still looking for ideas, or already filing away for next year, check out this slideshow of 33 Creative, Cheap, Craft Mother's Day Ideas. Number 16 might look familiar. ;)

It's also May (where did April go???) which means it's time for Farley's monthly currently.
