my creative space


I am often late with presents for my family, so I'm a bit chuffed that I'm already on track for Mother's Day next week...

I made a couple of these little handprint flowers for Grandma and Nanny - using this tutorial by Wild Olive, but using full size handprints - because I am lazy, but also because I think the recipients will like to know they are "really" her handprints (I just cut the second handprint a little way up the palm to make the smaller inner petals).

Now I just need to remember to get to the post office on time...

For more creative spaces ...

Sounds familiar...I'm always late to the post office with pressies. Love this idea...maybe a bouquet with all six kids' prints?
