Making Mom's Day

Saturday, March 1, 2003

LL, Moo. Making Mom’s Day (NAPSA)—Mother’s Day began as a day to honor mothers. Today, the day also honors women who are special—grandmas, aunts, wives, even friends and co-workers who “mother” and nurture you. One of the most traditional and widely appreciated gifts on this special day is a blooming plant. Thefloral gifting experts at 1-800-FLOWERS.COM suggest having the kids decorate the flowerpot for an extra special touch. Plant a smile on Mom with a personalized flowerpot. You'll need a terracotta pot and a few simple art supplies. Oil pastels work best for writing and coloring on the container, but markers, crayons, glitter and ribbon also make a lasting impression. First paint the pot with two coats of acrylic paint, letting it dry overnight. Sketch a design on the container in pencil, filling it in with color or glitter. Finish off the gift with a flowering plant, such as a gardenia, azalea, hydrangea or rose plant.
