Cards Say It from the Heart

Remember when you were a kid and made your mom a Mother's Day card in your art class?  You put all your love, paint, and glitter into making that special card from the heart.  And your mom was overjoyed not because you were a budding artist, but because you cared enough to take the time and put in the effort making her a card that was unlike any in the whole world.

Store-bought cards are wonderful and it's great to choose the one that expresses what you want to say to your mom.  However, there's just something about handmade cards.  Talk to my mother-in-law: she loves it that her adult son (my brother-in-law) still draws her Mother's Day cards (and he never forgets to include his age on them).

Whether you're a kid or an adult, why not get those creative juices flowing and make your mom a card this year?  (Including your age on it is optional.)  There are all kinds of things you can do to decorate a card--draw, use colored tape, paste tissue paper, sew string hearts, finger paint...the possibilities are endless.  If you're still unsure of what to do, find some inspiration at websites like Cute DIY Projects, diy joy, or Red Tricycle.

Remember, Mother's Day is not about the perfect card or the perfect gift.  It's about spending time with your mom and letting her know she's special.  Whatever you do for your mom, have a wonderful Mother's Day!

With best wishes from the perch.
