My daughter is taking shop this last quarter of school and she was making a picture frame from me. I expected it to be just a square frame to put a picture in and wasn't expecting it to be the best after all we have all gotten those gifts made at school right? Well yesterday she brought home this beautiful frame. It has slots for the 3 pictures she put in it which each is surrounded by the wood then on top it comes out to add a beautiful design. It was all stained and just looks wonderful. It is one gift that will be hung in my livingroom forever. I was just so shocked at how beautiful it was. She is so very proud of herself as she should be. I may have to have her make me some shelfs now to match it*L* Oh and the pictures she picked were of my children. One picture is of my oldest daughter and her husband at their wedding, another was of all three of my daughters at the wedding dressed up and then the last was a picture of all three of my daughters when they were just hanging out and having fun together. A cherished gift that any mother would love.

It sounds like she did a great job. It is always nice to get something from your kids that they have made. My son is only 8, so the only homemade thing I have ever really gotten from him is the gift he made me for Mother's Day. It was not difficult for him to make, but it was from his heart.
