My Mothers Day Gift To My Mother  email this discussion to a friend?

In May, gather had its Mother’s Day contest, I could not wait to enter. I wrote my article for my mom. I printed it off and framed it for her as a Mother’s day gift. She received a lot of gifts from my brothers and sister but her favorite was the framed copy of the article.
No, she did not tell me that it was her favorite. So you are wondering how I know. My mother has a routine when it comes to gifts. She opens them all and carefully puts each one In a box on the picnic table. Her very favorite, she carries into the house so nobody will hurt or break it. LOL
This is what happened at her Mother’s day party. We had an old fashioned roast. We roasted wieners and marshmellows over a outdoor fire. My nephews cut the sticks and we all sit around the campfire and had so much fun. Just like we did when we were kids. After we ate, we gave Mom her gifts. She opened each one, placing each in the box after she thanked the person who gave it to her. Mine, the framed copy of the mothers day article that I had written for gather, she kept out until all of her gifts were opened. She then carried the framed article into the house. LOL
I may not have won the camera from gather but I won the best gift award from my mother and trust me that means more to me than all the camera's in the world.

What a wonderful gift to give your mom. I think a homemade gift is very special especially when it comes from the heart. I bet she loved it. And that is a cute way of knowing what present was her favorite.

My Mom is funny and so very predictable. LOL

That sounds so sweet. This gives me a good idea of what to do for my dad for father's day write a article and frame it. That is a very sweet and great idea because it came from your heart.

I did an article on gather and posted more photos - be sure and check it out. They are running the fathers day contest now. But I dont think they are giving awards. Did you enter the wise money contest??? Gather has one and Jennifer has sweetened the pot if you also put her code in the tag when you submit. I have done my article for it already. It ends on sat

No I haven't but I will check it out and see.

myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 174 out of 19,197 in relationships  5 years ago

Well that is really neat . Homemade gifts are just the best . I think it takes more effort and thought to make something ourselves. And of course your article really took a lot of though and effort.
I think is cute that you figured out how she shows that a gift is
extra special to her.

That is great that your mother loved your gift to her more than any other gift that she received. I am sure the article was very touching and sentimental. Moms like those kinds of gifts very much because it comes straight from the heart and makes them feel good. No doubt she liked her other gifts but yours meant the most to her. My parents love stuff like that as well and my mom loved my article that I wrote about her for her 60th birthday party.

One of the best things in life is making mom happy- I agree- My mom and I are extremely close- She is my best friend- What a neat and thoughtful gift you gave to your mom- I'm glad she loved it.... I bet she shows it off on the wall to her friends- And I bet she will read it often. What a great thing you do for your mom-

In some ways a gift from the heart means more than anything to anyone.

And its something your mother will always cherish....

Even if you lost the contest it meant the world to your mother, that you took the time to write and copy and frame for her.

What a great memory for you and for your mom.
