I asked everyone to give a Mother's Day story or a story about their mothers. Here is what they had to say...

Ocean Avenue Silks says: 

I didn't have any great stories to tell, though this is my first mother's day as a grandma (step)!
Here is one of my scarves that comes gift packaged and I can add a personal message on a gift tag.

My mom had a tough, Depression-era childhood with a father in a sanitarium for tuberculosis. (It really was the olden days!) At the age of 43 she went back to school to become an LPN. She was tops in her class and thoroughly enjoyed her nursing career.

Here's a little relief for those hard working moms!

What are you waiting for? Mother's Day is fast approaching. Don't let it pass you by.

For Mom

It's almost May, so that means it's almost time for Mother's Day.

I've always been of a mind to pamper Mom, so here are a couple things that might do the trick...

Rosemary, Basil and Lemongrass Essential Oil Infused Soy Candle by Mosaico diMangino

Cherry Whipped Soap Creme by savor

Or something that's just pretty...

Peach Blossom Faerie by Tango Cat Gems

Now, if I'm shopping for my mom, I know exactly what she likes. Something like this...

Natural Amethyst Druzy Earrings by Designs by Shirl

Or this will be perfect...

But for some it's their first Mother's Day, and it should be celebrated...

Reserved listing for me from my little guy.

It's the best day of the year for us Moms (no cooking, hooray!), and the best handmade gift I could ever ask for came from my 7-year-old son. He made me about a hundred massage coupons. He always worms out of the deal when I try to cash in but I love the coupons (and him) anyway. I could also go for some--or all--of the items below, made by our awesomely creative CCCOErs. Happy Mother's Day, everyone!
