DIY Mother's Day Gifts

One thing that I've learned is that it really is the thought that counts when it comes to gift-giving. People care about being remembered - they typically don't care about price tags.  So, we usually turn to more personal DIY Mother's Day gifts. When we were browsing for ideas for our moms, we found ourselves gravitating toward simple projects. Without further ado, here are some fun and simple Mother's Day DIY gifts that we love.
