Happy Mother’s Day 2012

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU ALL!!!

mothersday
Real Mothers don’t eat quiche;
They don’t have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn’t come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don’t want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up…

Real Mothers sometimes ask ‘Why me?’
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, ‘Because I love you best.’

Real Mothers know that a child’s growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade….
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother…..
mothers love
The Images of Mother

  • 4 YEARS OF AGE – My Mommy can do anything!
  • 8 YEARS OF AGE – My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
  • 12 YEARS OF AGE – My Mother doesn’t know everything!
  • 14 YEARS OF AGE – My Mother? She wouldn’t have a clue.
  • 16 YEARS OF AGE – Mother? She’s so five minutes ago.
  • 18 YEARS OF AGE – That old woman? She’s way out of date!
  • 25 YEARS OF AGE – Well, she might know a little bit about it!
  • 35 YEARS OF AGE – Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
  • 45 YEARS OF AGE – Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
  • 65 YEARS OF AGE – Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

I was looking at some old Mother’s Day cards my kids have given me over the years and I came across this finger print flower poem.  I loved it then, and still love it now.  So my girls made a few of them yesterday for a fun after school project.

The poem reads…

I made you a flower

With my finger and my thumb

So you will have these memories

For all the years to come

Happy Mother’s Day 2012

To make these all you need is a white price of card stock cut into a strip, colored paper to make the card, green marker to draw a stem, paints and some cute little fingers.

Have your child dip their finger in green paint to create the leaves.  Then dip their pointer finger in paint to create the flower petals.  I found it was easier for them to follow a circle drawn with pencil.  Attach the poem and you are done!

My Mom dropped by yesterday with an early Mothers Day gift for me.  Yes she is sweet and even though she is my Mom, she gives me a gift every year for Mothers Day.  But being that this apple has not fallen to far from the tree… most my Mom’s gifts are frugal, and homemade.  She has been working out in her yard, she had planted Hens and Chicks (a plant that sends lots of new starts each year) when I was just a little girl.  She got them from her own Mother’s yard.  Now 20+ years later she wanted to share some of Grandma’s plants with me.  She potted them up in a little bucket, rocks from one of their trips to the mountains and a bird house she painted.

I loved this personalized gift, make me feel like I have a little piece of my parents yard on my front step.  And did I mention it is SUPER cute and I love it more than any pre-made flower bouquet!  Thanks Mommy I love it!

Once again with our Simple and Frugal Mothers Day ideas… today I am going to show you how to make this ” Heart Bloom Card”.  All you need is 4 colors of pattern paper, scissors, glue and blue and white card stock.

Mothers Day card

First fold and cut your card stock to the size of card you want.  Next cut the blue card stock just smaller than the card front and glue it to the front. Next cut out 8 hearts the exact same size ( 2 of each color).  Fold one of each color in half and glue the fold to the other heart.  Once that has dried glue them onto the card… easy as that you have your very own Heart Bloom card, ready to give to Mom for her special day.

simple mothers day card ideas

Simple Mother’s Day Card that is fun to make, and turns out looking great.  Anyone can make these, perfect for kids who want to create Mom a special card.

All you need for this project is a sheet of white cardstock, sheet of pattern paper, glue, ink pad, green marker and a brad or button to put in the middle of the flower.

Draw 5 circles on the back side of your pattern paper, make each one a little larger.

Rip the circles out, they do NOT have to be perfect.  The rough edges give the flower depth.

Now take those cute little circles and SMASH them into little balls… yip I know you just worked hard on them, now wad them up :) Flatten them back out again, but leave them a little “bumpy” so the ink will only get on the tips of the folds.

Drag the circles gently over a stamp pad,  you do NOT want to cover them with ink just highlight the tips and edges.   Stack the circles on top of each other.  Then glue them together and put a button in the middle or fasten them together with  a brad.  Draw a stem, leaves and back with pattern paper.
