Mother's Day Gifts

Notebooks and Flower Pens

Each Mother's Day my 3 nieces and my sister in-law exchange inexpensive gifts with each other.  The girls look forward to seeing what I have made them.  This year I personalized some notebooks I purchased at the Dollar $tore and blinged up some ink pens (also purchased at the $ store).

I used sticker letters and cardstock scraps to personalized the notebooks.

The pens I have been making for years. They are easy enough to make with children. For a few years I have made the pens as the Mother's Day gift craft with my classes.  They were always a big hit.

Merry Berry Month of May

  It is May and a great time to sample berries.  Strawberries and blueberries are in season and have been on sale for a week.  I pulled out my fruit  dip and decided to mix some up for a treat.  This dip works well with blueberries, apples, strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes and honeydew melon. Always a crowd pleaser too.
Ingredients

    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    2 (7 ounce) jars marshmallow creme

Directions

    Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add marshmallow creme and blend the mixture until smooth. Enjoy!
