Mother’s Day around the corner, something to make them smile
April 16, 2009
May 10, 2009 is this years day to celebrate Mom’s. No matter if her children have 2 or 4 legs (not to say that us humans have more than 2 legs, but my children are 2 Jack Russell’s and they should join in the celebration). I blogged about my Memory Boxes in December and the response was over whelming.
One of my favorite boxes I have done has been for Margaret Roach of her famous Frogboys.
They are a blast to make and assuring who ever opens the box with their Memory Box inside will have a big smile.
Let these inspire you. They have me every time I make one. The Memory Box pictured of the 2 big black dogs, Raggs a Newfoundland and Devon a Newf/Lab mix are no longer with me, they are waiting with some others at Rainbows Bridge.
Enjoy,
Susan

How neat, my grandmother would probably love something like this! Really clever idea.
