Ack.
Finals have hit.
I have a big presentation and two finals tomorrow.
Yikes.
I keep telling myself that this semester will be OVER tomorrow...
but it's not helping my motivation get any better.
I'm short on time this week (and brain-power evidently)
but wanted to give you a quick Mother's Day idea that is super easy and super personalizable :)
I actually made this for hubby's mimi back at Christmas-time.
The nice thing is that it makes a great gift any time of the year.
(and I'm pretty sure that only us women would appreciate it)
I saw an idea similar to this somewhere and tweaked it to span more than just one holiday...
and thus it became "The Holiday Book".
It started out as a blank artist sketchbook I picked up at Hobby Lobby...
It had the perfect type of pages to fill with all kinds of memories!
And it just got a little dressed up on the front :)
I used scrapbook papers with Mod Podge and some pretty black and orange-y red ribbons.
The letters were actually printed onto the paper.
I just designed it in Microsoft Word.
The little quote is just one I had lying around and got attached to the front as well.
I really didn't want it to just be a Christmas book or just Easter or anything like that.
Hubby's mimi is the type that has gatherings at her house all year round.
I wanted her to be able to put anything and everything in here so that she (and we) could always remember the people and events.
Basically, they can put a picture in for each event and either write about it themselves or have everyone write a little note while they are there.
Like a glorified guestbook!
I attached a note on the first page inside the book explaining what the book was and how much we loved her!
I think she loved it and I hope it serves a good purpose :)
Go and tell your mommas how much you love them this week!
(and wish me luck on my crazy finals day tomorrow)
