Quickie Mother's Day Gifts

Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers, grandmothers, or soon-to-be mothers.  What ever the case, may you have a blessed day with family and friends!

Every year for Mother's Day, my family and I have dinner with my parents and my brother and his family.  My sister-in-law invites her mother and brother to join in on the gathering.  So, with little time to make something, I put together these Pop Up Boxes which were pretty easy to make.  I learned this from my gf Joy, of A Place To Be Me.  Thanks Joy . . . I was a bit intimidated, but making them was actually not that bad.



I made 3 . . . one for my mom, one for my sister-in-law, and one for my sister-in-law's mother.  Here's the side view with the lid popped up.



And here is the top view . . . you can surely put a lot of stuff in there!  I place some Ghirardelli and Hershey's candies in the box.


Well, that's it for me today.  Again, enjoy your special day ladies!
