Hi kids!  Just in time for Mother's Day.  After I looked throught this book, I knew it had some great ideas that you could make for your mom or someone special to you!  Also, what I like about this book was the fact that the projects were easy to make and fun to look at.

When I was your age, I can remember how much fun it was when our class made presents for our moms.  Once they were finished I couldn't wait to take it home to give to my mom!  Then when I became a mom myself, I was on the receiving end of those handmade gifts from our sons.  And believe it or not I still have some of those gifts stored away in my cedar chest at the foot of my bed.

You know, our moms are very special people in our lives  and you need to tell them so.  I'm sure whatever you do for your mom on Mother's Day, she'll love it because it came from you.

Until next time, create the perfect day for your mom!
Your friend,
Sherry
