My blog reader friend Suzanne wanted some ideas for Mother's Day. Here's what i'm doing for all my favorite mothers. I have something else planned for my Mom but I know lots of good mothers out there and now I have gifts for them. While I was at Target I spied these cool looking Boxes of Soap. They were in the regular soap aisle, they were 2.88 for a 2 pack. They came in several scents, I picked vanilla cherry blossom. Came home pulled out the scrap box. Cut some paper 8 1/2x 3 1/4, wrapped it around the soap box and attached it with double sided tape. Then I grabbed some ribbon and buttons and stuck them on. Punched out a few tags from the reverse side of the pattern paper I used and stamped it Happy Mothers Day. If you don't have a stamp, just print something on your computer, if you don't have a computer then i'm sure you have beautiful hand writing. Well I guess if you didn't have a computer you wouldn't be reading this, you get what I mean... use anything you have. And if you're doing this with kids like Suzanne wants to, i'd show them how to wrap the paper around and then throw a bunch of stuff (anything you have) out on the table and let them go for it! Oh, how about cutting plain paper, let them draw/color on it and then wrap it around the soap. The possibilities are endless. Here's mine... and I made a quick card from scraps too!

What a great idea, -hey another venture for you- designer soaps! How funny, that you chose my favorite scent- vanilla/cherry blossom. I am totally addicted to "original scent" jergens lotion for which their signature fragrance is- you guessed it, vanilla, almond,cherryblossom scent. What a great mother's day present idea. I already gave my mom her present(s) since we will be on our Alaskan cruise on Mother's Day. Hope you're feeling better.
