Well Mother's Day has arrived and I thought I would write about different gifts you could get your mum in a million!
My Favourite presents are the sentimental ones and they almost always don't cost a lot of money, but the time and effort that myself and my brothers put into them, mean the world to my Mum.
My Mum is the most amazing woman I know.
The best way to describe her is a 'Burnt Toast' mother.
That doesn't mean what it says literally, but what it means in a broader sense is: she's the kinda Mum that if she made toast and one of the pieces was more burnt than the others she would be the mum that eats the burnt one and gives the better ones to her children. (That took quite a while for me to describe that as best I could!)
We have such a close relationship probably because I'm her only girl, so we are like best friends which means that we have our ups and downs but very few downs : )
She is so inspirational to me and I look at her and I hope that when I have kids someday, please god, that I will be the mother that she was to us. Sometimes it scares me, because I don't know if I can be, but they say us girls, we grow into our mothers, so hopefully that's true!
I have included some pics of previous presents that myself and my two brothers have given to Mum for Mother's Day.
MEMORY BOOK
We bought this notebook in waterstones last year and then my brothers and I wrote in memories that we have of mum and the funny things she has done in the past. On some of the pages we found some little poems and stories and decorated the oages with them. It's still a working progress because we can always write in it and mum can write what she would like.
SONG LYRICS
These are the lyrics of 'Mama' From IL DIVO. You can take any lyrics that mean something to you and your Mum. The words of this song mean so much to me when I hear them, so we printed them out, painted the background page and stuck them together. We got the frame in a little pound shop. These frames are great for anything you have made yourself because it shows it off the best in my opinion. The important thing is the gift not an expensive frame taking away from the meaning.
POEMS
The above poem we found, and again it resonated with us so we printed the words and then stuck a little photo of us at the bottom.
Below is a poem that I made up, it took a while but eventually I was happy with it and I found that beautiful picture in a book of angels that I have. When it was done my brothers added their own messages to it and it became a collaboration of all our work.
Above are most of the ideas that we have come up with and as you can see they dont cost alot of money but our Mum has loved each and everyone of them and they all have pride of place on her wall, well except for her book, she couldn't hang that up!
It might be a little late for this Mother's Day but maybe next year you can give your Mum a gift that tells her just how much she is loved.
We can never Say 'I LOVE YOU' too much, especially to our MUM's
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2012
TO OUR WONDERFUL MOTHER
