happy mother's day

lilly took this little gift in to her teacher on Friday.

instead of a card, she just wrote right on the plastic covering of a cute notepad.

(that was my idea, writing on the notepad packaging). 

see... sometimes i do think of creative things on my own.

(not usually though...)

(keep reading.)

inside the bag, along with the notepad, was a necklace that i made.

yes, ive taken on another craft.

(only because of this wonderful tutorial)

see, not really my idea... just an awesome idea borrowed :)

this one went to the mom of the little lady i watch...

and this one to the mom of the little guy i watch :)

i had so much fun making them!

and attempting to take 'good enough' pics of them.

photographing jewelry is a bit tricky.

i will make one for myself sooner or later.

but for now, this Mother's Day piece will do.

in fact, it will do very well :)

Happy Mother's Day!
