If you're a Brit, then you are probably more than aware that Mother's Day is on Sunday.
That's THIS Sunday, kids.
If you weren't aware then you should be ashamed of yourself.
Give yourself a slap on the wrist... and relax, I've got you covered.
My mum, like every other mum, mom & mama on the planet loves a handmade gift.
So here's what I propose you do.
Print out one of these badboys (click on them to get bigger versions), pop it in a big white frame & grab a whiteboard marker.
**NB. You'll need a frame with glass (not plastic) about A4 size **
Wrap it all up with a big, pretty bow & save it for Sunday.
I've given you 5 colours to choose from...
Periwinkle:
Violet:
Butterscotch:
Mint:
Raspberry:
Pick the one that suits her best.
Make sure mum keeps the wipe clean marker just by the frame.
I know you love her too much to give her just one reason, so now you get to rub it out & update it every time you see her!
Can't you just feel the brownie points raining down upon you?!
.
Americans, don't panic! Your Mother's Day isn't until 13th May, but you're more than welcome to use one of these too.

Great idea, thank you x JP
ReplyDeleteHey Rose :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, love this idea, as I'm sure my mum will too!
I'm new to the whole 'blogosphere' thing, and have only been following yours for about a week, but I'm already in love with your personality and your outlook on life! I hope you don't mind me asking, but what did you study at Uni? I've been checking out your earlier posts and I love how passionate you are about photography, fashion and travel, all of which I am interested in too, but I can't find a Uni course that really interests me :'( You seem so content with what you do, and I read that you are your own boss...Something that I would love to make of myself one day!! I really hope you don't mind me asking about your job, but you just seem so happy and successful in it, and I have to choose my A-Levels in a few months, so any advice would be really appreciated!!!
I know this ventures a little bit from this post, but I really need advice and you seem like the right person to ask!!!
Thanks,
Rebekah xx
Hi Rebekah,
DeleteI'm afraid I don't like to talk too much about where I went to school/university & where I work now.
I put a huge amount of my life online, but I'm also quite nervous about privacy.
While I'm happy to share myself with you guys, I don't actually want people to come knocking at my door or calling me at work!
So if you don't mind, I'd rather keep a few things to myself.
With ALevels the biggest advice I can give you is to go with your strengths, not with what your friends do.
I know that right now they will seem like the most important thing on the planet, but they're really not!
I also recommend you take a look at my 'university' blog post.
It talks about how I went out & got a job the second I got there & was my own boss by the end of it.
I can't stress the importance of this enough.
You're clearly a bright, articulate girl so whatever you do I'm sure you'll flourish!
Rose xx
Hey Rose,
DeleteI fully understand and respect that you want to keep your personal life private, I would want to do the same! Thanks for the advice anyway, it's really appreciated and will no doubt come in handy :-)
Keep blogging!
Rebekah xx
I was a week early and rang my mum last sunday who sounded so confused!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous idea :)
ReplyDeleteLaaaavly!
:) x
Me and my mom read this post together (while she was here). The sound coming from both of our mouths was 'Awwwww'. So clearly a good idea :)
ReplyDeletexxx
What a great idea! My Momma is going to love this (in May of course way up North).
ReplyDeleteBy the way Rose, why do you not have your own show yet? You would be awesome!
This is such a great idea. I am all prepared for mothers day--my mum even gets me for the weekend--bet she is thrilled!
ReplyDeleteHey Rose! So glad that I came across this post the other day. I printed off the 'mint' template yesterday and bought my white frame today :) This is totally up my mum's street! Thank you so much for the wonderful idea. I'll be doing a post about it on my blog in a couple of days and will make sure to credit you.
