My mother in law loves purple and she loves crafts, so I decided to create two gifts for her, both involving jars. First I made her some storage containers for her craft items. I washed out some repurposed jars, removed their labels, and painted their lids with chalkboard paint. She can put whatever she'd like in the clear jars, be able to see what's in them, and can label the lids using chalk. I purchased a box of colored chalk to give her with this gift. I got the idea here.
The second gift is a hanging flower display filled with lots of purple. I used baby food jars, a purple embroidery hoop, lots of purple ribbon, and silk flowers. I got the inspiration here, and this is what the final product looks like:
For my mom (who's a bit more practical-minded), I made a bulletin board out of cork covered in fabric. I am envisioning that she might want to hang this in the cabin, aka her second home. The idea for this project came from here, though I decided to do cork rather than a magnetic board.
Both sets of grandparents also received a Snapfish photo book with pictures from 2012. We used to make these consistently but hadn't done one in a few years.
