This Mother’s Day, a gift from the heart will not only warm your mother with true love, but will give her a look back at the past you have had together, but will also give a wondrous view of the future the two of you will share.

Special tokens to add once you have finished creating your masterpiece can range from a favorite photo, a note about a favorite location you both have, to a simple line of a memory when you got caught singing into the hairbrush. Your memory box can include any token or memory; your mom will love them all and hold them close to her heart.
