Mother's Day is the perfect time to try a DIY project and I guarantee you're going to adore this one. I want to make one for every mom I know! Here's Alli with the details... I am loving the "make your own mug" trend for two reasons: 1. There's nothing better than a handmade gift. 2. It's so amazingly EASY! I mean, really. The possibilities are endless.

Must-Make: Framed Family Recipe with Photo

November 20 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Must make for Mother's Day! Framed photo of grandma with her trademark recipe - post has link for editable recipe card.

Today I bring you one of my all-time favorite gift ideas EVER!  The genius in this gift is that it has sentiment and thoughtfulness in spades but is shockingly easy to put together. This will be a gift for my mom that I know she will treasure as my "Nana" is no longer with us. You could easily knock several people off your gift list with this same idea in no time, especially with the free recipe card printable that's 100% editable so you don't have to worry about pretty handwriting. Ready … [Read more...]
