Mother's Day will be here this weekend. My husband always asks for a list of things that I want. That's hard because I see so many things that I would love to have, problem is when it comes to sitting down and making the list I can't think of a single thing. Sometimes I wish we could take our thoughts out of our heads like Dumbledore in Harry Potter, put them in the Pensive, and give them to whom ever needs them (did I use whom right?).
Anyhoo, I also always struggle with what to do for my own mother. When we lived close it was easy we would go out to lunch with my grandma the Saturday before and have a great afternoon. Now that I live 2000 miles away it's not so easy. Just sending a card doesn't seem like enough, and frankly sending a gift is hard because I am THE most forgetful person on earth and don't think of it until late Mother's Day Eve!
This year I found this link to Snapfish for a free flip book. I tried it out and made 2 books, one for my own mom and one for my mother-in-law and only paid for shipping and tax on each book. It equaled out to about $2.15 for each one. SWEET DEAL if you ask me. Use coupon code ALLYOUMOM at check out and it's that easy! You are able to do a 5x7 45 page book!
Don't know if it will be there by Mother's Day (my mom should be used to that by now), but what a great gift. I also hope that my mom doesn't read this blog cuz I just blew the surprise!
Here are a few things on my Mother's Day List:
Chalkboard paint
Smock top fabric
Chalkboard fabric
Magnetic paint
What's on your list???

P.S. I love your freegifting ideas!!
I could definately get behind the idea of paint and a little elbow grease for Mother's Day. I have paint colors picked out for nearly every room of the house (they all could use a fresh coat... and I am tired of the blah wall color). I certainly wouldn't mind a few gallons of paint and a handsome man to help my apply it.
Other than that, I need new clothes. I hate shopping, but we are taking a long vacation to visit family later this month and I need something to wear.
