Hey Ladies! I’m in Boise, ID today as my Great-Grandmother passed away last week at the amazing age of 98. Her funeral is more of a celebration of her life. Considering she’s been wanting to join her loved ones who have long since passed, we are very happy for her. She is now in a lovely place surrounded by all the people she loves.
Today’s post is going to have to be quick as I’m in the hotel room trying to get ready for the viewing. I think it’s appropriate that today’s post is on handmade Mother’s Day gifts. I come from a long line of talented and frugal women. They would have appreciated today’s post.
Holy Cow! Mitzi featured such an impressive Mother’s Day gift! It’s an embellished jewelry box tin with a matching card. There is also beautiful beaded bracelet that corresponds to a poem that you can download! {{Fabulous}}
Crafting Chicks has some crazy fun gift ideas! Check out her skinny chipboard album and block puzzle. {{giddy}}
Cakie’s man hooked her up with the most fabulous Mother’s Day card that her daughter jumped out of. Now that’s love. I would die if my man actually made something for me. 😉
Domestic Charm has listed tons of fun DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas. Head on over and check out all the goodies.
Permission to Unwind created a tutorial on how to make a basket from a canister. What a fun container to put a lovely gift inside.
Tiffanie has shown us how to make Scented Bath Salts. I’m loving these awesome jars!
Kate has hooked you up with a tutorial on how to make this Meyer Lemon Vanilla Bean Marmalade. This would make an amazing gift for the special women in your life. {{yummy!}}
If you love to sew, FaveCrafts Blog has hooked you up with links on how to embellish a tea towel, make an apron, and how to make a felt flower pin cushion.
Is your Mama eco-friendly? Then hook her up with a simple, green, frugal, all natural cleaning supply basket.

Thanks Ladies! If you don’t already have an “I was Featured” button, feel free to copy the code and wear it proudly on your blog. These are INCREDIBLE!
I’m new here, so I have to say first that I love the blog!
But I also have to say…what kind of crack are we smoking that a basket of CLEANING SUPPLIES is a good idea for a mother’s day gift?! “Here Mom, we love you, go clean the house…”
Not a good plan!
Another gift idea for such occasion would be Weather Forecasting Gadgets and Radios. You may visit 3rd Wave Inc’s site to avail big discounts.
My condolences on your Grandmother. I am also so thankful to my wonderful Grandmother’s and Mother who have made such an impact on my life. I love that you guys are celebrating her life, and I’m sure she is happy to be with ones who have passed before her!

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. I found you on SITS. Love your Mothers Day ideas…
I am so flattered to be featured on Tip Junkie. I only wish I was the creative mind behind the idea. I started a blog to keep track of ideas that I had seen. The jewlery box was actually an idea from capture the moment. visit them at: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2009/03/introducing-mother.html Sorry if I was misleading. But man it was sure fun to see my ideas on Tip Junkie as I follow you very regularly!
