Quick Mother's Day Gift

by - May 03, 2012

Yup, still rainy and chilly in our neck of the woods.  Sigh!  The upside is when you're trapped in the house all day, you get a jumpstart on some Mother's Day gifts:

I made these little wood silhouettes of my boys for their Grandma today.  I bought the wood pieces at Michael's and gave them a few coats of aqua paint.  Then I took some profile shots of the boys.  I printed them out on plain paper and cut them out.  Then I used the cut-out photo as a pattern for my black cardstock.
I simply glued them on and done!  It's a small little gift, I'm sure my Mom will love!  The boys had fun guessing who was who in the silhouettes.  The 4 year old picked himself out immediately.

    Very cute! I'm sure she'll love them!

    It better stop before I get there. My intention is to just bring a carry-on bag and that means small clothes and that means shorts!

    This is about the 5th blog with someone commenting on the non-stop rain :) Here TOO! And we're all inside working on our projects -- your silhouettes are so clever and I know will be a treasure for their grandma!
