Mother’s Day Ideas

Mother’s Day will be here before we know it. Do you have any Mother’s Day Ideas yet? I thought I would share a few ideas I have today:

Above you will see a moss candle holder, a moss candle and a moss vase all made with Dollar Tree items. The total cost was $2. Moss works for anyone’s taste or style. These will be a big hit.

What Mom could resist a French Silk Pie from scratch? Rich, creamy and delicious.

What about a bowl full of succulents as a gift? Succulents will grow anywhere. Perfect for those of us who even have a black thumb.

Make your own designed vase or frame for your mom. I used FolkArt glass paints for each of these projects. Easy to use and be your own artist.

Visit your local floral market and design a lovely bouquet. Then place it in a mason jar tied with twine. Easy and super cute.

Using twine wrap a monogram or paint and stencil one. These are a great idea for anyone.

I have had fun sharing my Mother’s Day gift ideas with you today. I hope I have inspired you to make something special for the Mom(s) in your life.

Thanks for following and for joining me everyday! You are awesome.

Fresh Homemade Salsa is a staple in our home. I don’t know about you, but I love salsa. I could eat it everyday. I may or may not eat it everyday. Okay, I eat it every day!!

So, when my friend Jenna shared her “famous Fresh Homemade Salsa recipe” with me, how could I resist not trying it?

The ingredients are fresh cilantro, green onions, tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos that give a real kick! Just the way I like it!
