Mother's Day Gift Ideas

I'm not sure if Mother's Day is celebrated on the same day all the world over, but in Australia this Sunday coming is Mother's Day. I hope you've already thought of your gift for mum, but in case you haven't perhaps a gorgeous journal would be a great idea. There are some really sweet covers on journals these days. Just look in your local book store, newsagents or other gift stores. If you want to make a really personalised gift why not cover an ordinary looking journal with some pretty paper. You could print the paper yourself, too. Or better yet, make the entire journal yourself. This way you can create exactly what it is you know your mum will love.

Here are a few links to tutorials to get you started. Please add any you know to the comments section so I can add them to this list.

I receive the excellent monthly newsletter from Intrinsic. They always have really cool downloads for your computer and your journal each month. This time there's also a course for the month. There's a page of journal prompts/questions to help you. Since it won't cost anything but a little of your time you may as well check it out. Everything is there for week one, so go ahead and join in. You never know what you might discover about yourself.
