A Gift That Will Touch Your Heart

When you give someone a gift, you want to make them happy, really happy. I received a Mother's Day gift that made me so happy I cried. I have three daughters, all in their 20's, who really know how to make their mom overjoyed. Look at what they made me...

My co-worker told me that this is called a "Young Me, Now Me" because it shows how my girls have grown up and changed. Notice that they've posed in the same way as their younger selves. I especially love the hard-to-see photo in the right corner of all three girls together. First of all, they're wearing Christmas sweatshirts that I made for them with fabric and puffy paint. That will bring back some memories for some of you! Secondly, it shows my oldest daughter's sneaky side--she's flashing rabbit ears behind her sisters' heads in both pictures. I also love the fact that you can see her baby bump. I can't wait to be a grandmother. I know that Mother's Day next year will be even more special.

If you are looking for a gift that will really touch someone's heart, find your favorite old pictures and frame out a "Young Me, Now Me"--the lucky recipient will love it!
