Bookmarks made with love

BookMark1

My sweet mother bought me a laminating machine the other day (thank you mum!). And I must say I have been feeling very inspired! I used this machine to create a beautiful gift for my son’s daycare lady’s. They are like second mothers to him, which makes them extra special!

I drew 3 bookmarks with a black marker. One with a lucky theme with clover fours, one with a love theme with hearts and one book marker with a party theme with balloons. After this I went crazy with the coloring pencils. Of course I wrote a personal message on the back of the book marks and I added a foto of my toddler. To preserve the book marks I laminated them first, after which I cut them out. I attached ribbons with a bead that can stick out the book they read.

I attached each marker to a beautiful bouquet for a festive surprise. Of course you could also let your toddler do the coloring for a personal touch too.

Spring time treat: Tullips

There was a day when tulips were a precious commodity. In order to show off your personal wealth, tulips were displayed in tulip vases. Each tulip is placed in an individual opening, showing the tulips in all their splendor.

I still love these vases. I picked this one up at a thrift store the other day and decided to give it a make-over. I added the phrase “Every picked flower is a beautiful gesture.” It will make a perfect house warming gift, including some tulips of course!

Tulips can also cheer up any plate.
