Mother’s Day is upon us!!! On this
Sunday, May 13 we will all get out the cards, flowers and gifts to give to the
most important woman in our life . . .
our mother. But what really is a mother? For many we consider our mother
to be the one who gave birth to us, raised us from the time we were born and
loves us our whole lives. For others it may be that special woman that has been
such an influence in our life. A mother is someone who shelters and guides us
through those obstacles that stand in our paths. She is the one to set us free
to explore the world prepared with the knowledge to make it through life. She
is generous. She is loving. She is our mother. Every second Sunday in May the
celebration of mothers and motherhood begins. But what to give her runs through
our minds. We all can buy those commercially made cards and gifts and give her
that beautiful bouquet of flowers but what if you want to give something
special and unique showing our love for this wondrous woman. The answer, ‘Make
it yourself!!!’
Walking
through Home Depot the other day my mind started to ramble about Mother’s Day.
Usually Home Depot is the place to shop for my dad with his obsession with
tools. But my mom is not a hardware tool junkie like my dad and I. She likes
pretty and colorful things. A power
drill just wouldn’t do the trick. What could Home Depot offer that could make
my mom happy? Like on automatic pilot it’s off to the gardening section to buy
flowers once again but something colorful hit’s my eye. What was that beautiful
array of colors on that rack I just passed? Backing up I see duct tape!!! To me
duct tape is usually that gray sticky stuff that you can never remove after you’ve
used it. But there was a great array of colors now and ideas started to flow
into my head. What could I ‘make’ my mother with duct tape? I bought some and went
home to do a search. There are alot of how to's out there. DuckBrand.com even has a club dedicated to the crafters out there that have an obsession with duct tape. The possibilities are endless! From purses to clothes to
bouquets of flowers duct tape is the way to go if you want to give your mom
something she won’t expect. I might be
known as Duct Tape Daughter for a while but at least it will be different. Let's start duct taping!!!! Here
are some great ideas some people had:

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHER'S OUT THERE!!!!
