My Mother's Day gifts

The best gifts you can get as a mother are the handmade gifts by your children. I like the days before Mother's Day when they come home with the gifts from school. They really do their best to keep it a secret and hide their gift, but it is not always easy. I really love the gifts they made this year.

The poem (in Dutch) they both learned in school

Lieve mama,

Mama, blijf maar liggen - het mag, ja het mag
mama, vandaag is het moederdag
Blijf maar lekker liggen - je hoeft niets te doen
hier is een pakje en hier is een zoen

Fleur's gift - a necklace of velvet ribbon and clothes-pins



Sanne's gift - a heart-shaped memo clip holder



Fleur's art

And gift coupons of Dolls & Decorations.
