We all love our mothers, and Mothers Day is one of the most important non-religious holidays of the year. People are always buying cards and gifts for their mothers for this particular special day, but sometimes it really is the thought that counts, and a themed craft can add to the joy of the celebration for many.

For example, creating a homemade picture frame in which you can place an image of you and your mother can be an excellent Mothers Day craft. Whether fashioned from something as simple as Popsicle sticks and construction paper or whittled from wood and carved out with a particular message, the idea of something so personalized can really add genuine effect to the holiday.

Holidays and special events are filled with memories which we do our best to capture on film. Often there are only a few really “good” photographs which, alone on a page, don’t do justice to all the special moments which make the time so memorable.

SO… faced with so many pics and such special memories…what do we do?

1. Choose those really “good” photos as key elements to tell your story. Print these larger depending on the requirements and size of your page or project. Matt or double-matt them individually or “pop” them to make them the focus of the design.

You should think carefully before you buy a baby boy’s crib bedding. If he’ll be sleeping in a 3-in-1 crib then he’ll be using the same bedding for a number of years. A bedding set that’s very flowery and frilly might look great when he’s first born, but it may not look right when he’s two or three years of age. So, buy with an eye on the future.

There are several holidays that tend to be easily overlooked, and Secretaries Day is one of those. This holiday is a little-known day that is observed on a Wednesday at the end of April and is actually now referred to as Administrative Professionals Day. Regardless of the nomenclature, though, these career professionals are the backbone of the office and should be honored on their special day. Participating in crafts can be a great way to take note of the very important work that secretaries do for their offices.
