Mother's Day LOVE

Finger-print flowers on ceramic tiles -- made in kindergarten for Mother's Day gift!

Yesterday I made another of my Author school visits -- this time to visit the kindergarten students at Darby Creek Elementary. They were carefully wrapping their ceramic tiles, embellished with painted finger-print flowers, for tomorrow's Mother's Day unveiling. The white square ceramic tiles made a lovely back drop for their individualized spring blooms. 

LUV the way that these turned out.

Do their tiles remind you of the images I shared here earlier?

Finger print bookmarks for Mother's Day 

Their tiles are a more 'permanent' variation on the bookmarks I saw earlier in the week in Indiana. {Another example of great minds thinking alike.} 

Here's yet another idea for Mother's day and combining the painted handprint with a heart into a flower. 

[We've made a quick hop up to the Cleveland area to visit with family and this is young Michael's preschool present for his mommy. It's a secret. Don't tell.]

The clever idea here is that each of the two pieces, art and poem are mounted on a piece of craft foam -- which gives it a framed sort of 'permanent' feel. Two thumbs up for presentation. 

I realize that these are just a tad late for you to replicate for tomorrow, but I thought I'd get everything cataloged together in this week's efforts of reporting from the road. 

Be sure you come back tomorrow. The images I'm cropping are simply stellar.
