May Freebie: Mother's Day 2013 Print

Framed art is the perfect gift for Mother's Day.  I outlined my daughter's hand and pulled it into Adobe Illustrator to make this printout.  I added the poem "Mother" by George Wiseman (tweaking the verbiage a bit ... I think he was a Deist, but I'm not ;)  When I printed this, I scaled it to fit a 4x6 frame.  However, you can print it in the original size (an 8.5x11) or scale it to fit a 5x7.  Click here to pull up the image in your browser and right-click or pull it onto your desktop to save!  Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother's Day Gift Idea

My daughter is fifteen months old, which can keep the ideas for Mother's Day gifts pretty minimal.  However, we were able to think of a creative and useful gift that doesn't cost a ton of money.  She painted masterpieces for her grandmas ... I can't even begin to explain how tickled they were to receive them.  All you need is a 12x12 canvas, finger paint (the nontoxic, washable kind ... unfortunately it's non-edible so you got watch out for hands to the mouth and eyes) and whatever you need to keep the fun clean and tidy!

Update:
Okay, so it's been two years since I posted on this project.  As an update, this painting is hanging on the wall within my mom's collage of paintings.  Needless to say, it's her most prized piece!
