Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th! If you are running a little behind like I am, I have some gift/craft/food/fun/freebie ideas below! Just click on the links for the recipes or directions :) 

CRAFTS/GIFTS:

• Paint Pottery

• Homemade Planter. Use a soup can and decorate to make a flower planter!
• Easy Mother's Day Card. You could also lightly paint a hand and make a handprint card.
• Hand Print Wreath. We made this for the fall, but change the colors to pinks, purples, or Mom's favorite colors and it works great for Mother's Day. You could also change it to a bouquet of hand print flowers by attaching to dowel rods or skewers (hot glue, tape, etc. on the back of the paper/foam sheet hand print cut-outs).
• Recycle a can into a cute planter!
