Happy Mother's Day

Do you remember making these for your mom way back in kindergarten?

I received this tissue paper/ stained glass vase for Mother's Day from Joey when he was five.

It got me to thinking...

With a few modifications...maybe...I could give an old school craft a new school look.

So, I set out to work.

The plan...to make a candle out of the finished project.

The glowing flame would enhance the stained glass effect.

It kind of worked.

What do you think?

I haven't completely given up on the idea...

I like it well enough to try something else that I have in mind.

I will share it as soon as I can.

Unfortunately, my mom will have to wait for this gift.

I always like giving her something handmade.

Obviously, a habit that began in kindergarten. Mom...

She is the BEST!

She still puts that smile on my face whenever we're together! Love you to pieces, mom!
