SENIOR LADY: EASY DIY MOTHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS #2

-













The online Mother's Day greeting cards for 2026 are

 very unique.  Colors generated by computers and 

"AI" seem more vibrant.The graphics are vivid and

more concise. There were multiple lettering styles 

of the words Mother, Mom, and Mama. Most Mothers

 should get a loving feeling when they receive these

 cards.  Viewing these letter styles gave me ideas for

my next Mother's Day gifts. Endless possibilities for

creating scrapbooks, journals, and DIY greeting cards

exist. I'll purchase a printer eventually. I don't mind

utilizing my artistic skills in the meantime.  Here are

the details for a last minute Mother's Day gift:


MOTHER'S DAY MINI SCRAPBOOK:


NEED:


8 inch x 10 inch, Marker\ Watercolor Pad

Permanent Markers, Medium & Fine tip:

Mother's Favorite Colors

Gem Stickers, Assorted Colors

One Hole Puncher ( optional)

Matching Yarn for Tying Scrapbook,  (optional)


INSTRUCTIONS:

Note: Printer not used. Free-handed designs.


Fold sheet of white paper from pad, in half 

twice to create, 5 inch rectangles. Cut pages 

with the folded edges. Should have 8 pages

including the scrapbook cover.


 Choose letter styles for the word, Mama. 

View online greeting cards for design ideas.

I practiced handwriting the styles for the word,

"Mama" on separate sheet of paper. I also chose 

colors for each word and cover design before 

starting the project. Here are the finished designs

 for my mini scrapbook:




















I embellished the mini scrapbook cover & each

page with matching gems.





























The pages of  mini scrapbook were embellished

with floral designs, dots,  &  matching colored 

gems. I decided to secure my scrapbook with 

tied  matching yarn. Used two hole puncher

 to make 2 holes on the left side.











My goal was to create an easy Mother's Day 

gift that children and teens could also do.

The pages can be created free-handed or

with a printer. 



TIPS: 


**Mini scrapbook pages can be secured 

with double-sided tape, staples, cords,

 book rings, & ribbons.

**Other words for a mother can used:

Mom, Ma, Mommy, Mum, Mamma 

**Design your mini scrapbook 

as you wish. My mini scrapbook 

is to be used for demonstration 

purpose only

**Online digital letter designs are available 

for small fee. The downloads can be used

on t-shirts too. Here are images of some

designs:

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:

SENIOR WOMEN CAN WEAR PONYTAILS

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

RAINWATER MAKES IT GROW!

I have been gardening for over 20 years. I'll admit I learned some secrets through trial and error. My neighbor had a large garden in his backyard. Some years he had a very good yield. He would muddle over why his yield each year wasn't  consistent. I finally figured out why his yield  was inconsistent. God's rainwater had to be plentiful in order for me to have a great yield  in my flower and vegetable garden. My yield was poor when there was a summer drought. No amount of city water from my garden  hose improved my yield. Organic soil and organic fertilizer didn't guarantee that I would have a bounty of flowers and vegetables. The combination of lots of  rain water, organic soil and organic  fertilizer boosted my yield. My state hasn't experienced a  drought  this summer. As a  matter of fact, we've  had  several bouts of flooding.  I had to  drain excessive water from some of  the  containers in my garden. I a...
