♥Happy Mother's Day♥

For Mother's Day I took this...
And created these...



A while back in RS we had a lesson about journal keeping and they had a fun idea for Journal Jars. So I thought it would be a fun gift for our Mother's this year. I found these cute jars at Walmart for $3 a piece, the paper is CTMH and the books were only a dollar also at Walmart. I re-typed the questions I got that day in RS and added them to some ones I found on the Internet. Than I spent hours cutting and folding all the papers for the jars (thanks to my wonderful daughter for helping me). I decoupaged the paper to the books, distressed the edges and added embellishments to the books and jars. There is a fun poem I attached to the jar and inside the journal. They turned out so cute and were greatly appreciated. I can't wait some day to read them. Every year I plan to make them a new one and find more fun questions.
For our SIL Mother's Day gifts we took these...

And created a delicious little treat like this...
A week ago when I bought the other jars I purchased the smaller ones for $2 and racked my brain for hours trying to come up with a fun idea for them. Finally my wonderful husband after hearing me grumble suggested this great idea..."You're a 'BERRY SWEET' mom! Happy Mother's Day." We dipped the strawberries in chocolate, let them set up, filled the jars and added ribbon and embellishments. They were so adorable! We gave them to all our SIL and plan on sending a fun slightly different version to our SIL that live out of town (post those pics after we send them;)). I hope all you Mommy's out there have a great Mother's Day!! Sending all my love♥-Shannon
