My fabulous mother-in-law lives in California- 11 hours away. Just a fun side note, she is a Lucille Ball impersonator! So, for Mother's Day I wanted to send her something simple, but meaningful. I saw this quote HERE. I'm all about inexpensive too so I picked up this frame at the local thrift store. I initially spray painted the frame cream but the paint wouldn't stick so I had to repaint it with black acrylic paint. I mod podged some scrap book paper to the mat inside the frame. I used Microsoft word to print up the quote and "MOM" using my Cricut. Tied a bow at the bottom and bam! A cute, simple gift for $.75! And she won't ever know that part!!
