| I had no idea what to get Mum this year for her birthday and I think my brother was in the same boat. Mum is always saying don't get me anything, I have all I need, you do enough etc. So my brother and family gave her this lovely tiara and an '18' badge to wear upside-down. I gave her an empty jar that I had decorated and labeled 'Nothing'. Wrapped it up and told Mum that the present is something she had always asked for. |
 |
| Mum loved it and the jar went down to church with her on her next visit for show and tell. |
 |
| I also bought a helium ballon kit from Kmart and blew up 30 balloons (all that was in the kit) and gave to Mum. I think I had as much joy blowing the balloons up as Mum had receiving them. |
I have had a card kit from two years ago that one of the ladies for our Craftmad get together had handed out to everyone. I finally found time to put all the pieces together and gave this all to Mum as well.
Thanks for visiting.
I Love the idea of the upside down 18 and the jar of nothing is so Funny. I must remember this when someone says they have everything.. Beautiful card you made your mother merry..loz

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a 'Nothing Jar' and how sweet that she went to church to show it to her buddies. And how cool to have 18 upside down. Lovely tiara too.

Fun! And I bet she'll keep something in that nothing jar!
