Mother's Day Memory Box

I am always trying to think of something new and creative for Mother's Day. One year I had thought it would be nice to write my mother a note. Trying to get creative with that idea I started thinking outside the box and get the rest of my brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews involved. I had everyone write a letter or poem, something original in their own words to her. You could give ideas to your family members like; write a memory when you were a child, a funny story that happened, a rhyming poem about how great she is, thoughts about how wonderful she is! Everyone individually even the grandkids wrote something! Some were handwritten on lined paper. Some were typed. Some were small scraps of paper with a few lines on it. It was important to have everyone make it their own! Once I got everyone's letters to grandma(mom), I found a small wooden treasure box and put all the letters inside. I attached a note to the outside that said "read later, we love you." A gift for Mother's Day that was one of a kind and unforgettable!
