Mother's Day Craft Gifts

[Jen841]

Grandma, Great-Grandma and Great Aunt are coming to visit Jude right before Mother's Day. I would like to make something special for them from Jude.

Any ideas?

I was thinking of a stepping stone for their Gardens for Grandma and Great Grandma. Has anyone made these? I saw kits on sale for $8 or so at Michael's this week.

I have a kits for a trivet I could make for Great Aunt, Great Grandma and Grandma got those last year.

I have some Picture People coupons I may use to frame pictures for them.

All love the numerous handprint projects he has done over the years. I could do flower pots for them.

I welcome any ideas! Keep in mind I have an ACTIVE almost 2 year old on my hands.

I like your ideas! I've been looking for some mysyself for our relatives. One additional idea I thought I'd throw in is a name-badge sized photograph that is laminated (I'm actually using premade photo covers that I got at walmart). I'm giving one to all the moms/aunts/grandmas/etc to put on their name badges at work. I know my mom loves having pictures to show of my dd to her patients (she's a nurse) and I think she will really like this.

I think we'll do that and a flower pot too! I'm also trying to think of something good for father's day this year. Share with us what you end up doing!

For Father's Day last year we did handprint coffee mugs, we come from families of coffee drinkers. For one Grandfather we made him a Grilling Apron with a picture of all of the Grandchildren on it (iprint) that said Chef Papa.

The mug I made for DH is a Flag. Jude's hand print is horizonal in Blue (the star area) and I painted strips in red. We went to a Pottery Painting place and they had good ideas for us.

For Mother's Day last year we made trivets of Jude's Handprints for family, again at the Pottery Painting place.

I am running out of ideas!
