We are last minute people, so coming up with ideas for Mother’s Day feels like we’re hanging out with the cool kids. You know, the ones who arrive early, are always prepared and don’t go shopping for cards the night before a celebration (not that you’d see us. Um…er…).
Mother’s Day is May 12th. Just FYI.

Art Expression Frame – Our Family Project
Source: organizedCHAOSonline
This is the project that our family does for, pretty much, every occasion. I took a picture of my gift from Mother’s Day two years ago from my son, Colton.
We just purchase a picture frame with some sort of matting. We choose the thick matting so Colton has a lot of room to express his artistic side (place stickers). It’s a fun project and there’s almost no cleanup. Now THAT’S speaking my language.
SUPPLIES:
- Frame with matting
- Stickers (we let Colton pick his out – regarless of their relevance to the holiday)
- Glue
- Art supplies
Instructions: Go to town. There’s no right way to do it. Place a photo in the middle and you’ve got yourself a gift.
