Great Solution for Photos and Notes!

Racking my brain for my mothers birthday again this year, I came up with the idea of making her a bulletin board.   She is in a rest home and has lots of cards and notes stuck here and there, so I thought it might be a good idea to create a nice space for all those nice reminders of her loved ones.  At first I wanted to purchase a cork board and cover it and then I decided to try a card board backing instead, more ecomonical and it worked very nicely.  I used a little quilt batting,some  simple  cream colored cotton and a glue gun and just wapped it up like a gift.

I criscrossed some ribbon attatched with some cute buttons.

Added a bow for hanging, glued to the back...

And decided two would be a nice display on her wall so I made another one..

And there you have it.  Love making gifts for people, that way it's really "from the Heart".

Also I decided to give her the Blessings Card Holder that is so perfect also for photos and cards.

They both  look really nice in her room and I think she liked them!  Great solutions  for not much money!
