Two years ago, I was hopelessly scrambling around Target to find my mom a gift. I found a ceramic garden gnome and a little set of paints together in a kit. I was able to paint my own gnome! I decided then and there that I was going to paint my mom a gnome…which I did the year after, too. I wanted to make it a little tradition that I would give my mom a gnome every year for Mother’s Day.
Last week, I made the trip to Target hoping to find what I was looking for, but I was left with nothing. This year, I decided to buy a canvas and use my oil pastels to draw her a gnome. I would write a heartfelt note on the back of the canvas, and it would be the perfect Mother’s Day gift!
It’s not the most glamorous handmade gift, but the thought behind it is cute! She’ll still like it because her own kid made it.
