Happy Mother's Day

 I made my mom a little box of tea for Mother's Day this year.

I got the idea from Martha Stewart, and her instructions for this project are right here.  Oh, Martha, you never cease to amaze me.

I bought a couple of craft punches for this project and fell madly in love with them.  Punching through thick paper and watching a perfect little butterfly pop out of the punch is endlessly satisfying.  I may or may not have punched a whole lot more butterflies than I needed, just because I was having fun doing it...

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!  I love you!

Mother's Day Craft Ideas

Mother's Day is this sunday, and I honestly don't think there's a better excuse for a craft project than that!  I looked around the web and there are literally hundreds of fabulous Mother's Day craft ideas out there.  Here are my 5 favorites:

1.  Fill this DIY fresh flower envelope garland with little love notes for mom, from Studio DIY.

2.  Make Mom a meyer lemon sugar scrub with Amy at U Try It.

3.  Learn how to make heart friendship bracelets for you and your mom with a Lovely Indeed tutorial.

4.  It wouldn't be Mother's Day without flowers, right?  Crafts Unleashed had a cute idea to put them in a hanging floral arrangement.

5.  If your mom likes to sew, a sewing kit in a jar from Funky Time would be the perfect gift.

All of the lovely images shown above belong to their respective blog owners.  Aren't they great?

I have one other Mother's Day craft project up my sleeve, but my mom reads this blog so I obviously won't be posting about it until after Mother's Day.  (My parents may be my biggest blog fans and I love that about them!)

Happy crafting!
