Mother's day gifts
By Debbie

Hi Betsy,
My suggestion is to get a digital camera and take photos of each child (maybe with you in the photo). Insert them in a child created card. We usually do scrapbook pages at holidays for our families. These
are really appreciated, especially because as the child gets older, less photo opportunities present themselves. An acrostic poem spelling out MOTHER would also be fun inside.
Another old stand by is the plaster handprints with poem on ther reverse. Clayola makes a modeling clay that dries when left out. It's kind of pricey though. We've dried flowers for stationery, but you don't

really have the time now.
Another gift is always to let the kids design their own note cards with black ink felt tip pens. (quarter fold) Make multiple copies on a variety of colored paper and pack in child decorated bags. Use ribbon to close and add a card. Good luck...I'm going with the cards and photos. ;-D
