Okay kids, fair notice! Mother’s Day  is only

here are some pretty,

last minute ideas to help you spoil mom without spending a bundle.

First up a two for one  placemat + gift combo that’s pretty as a daisy!

LOVE  this inexpensive white magnetic glass dry erase board from

The Container Store!  It’s a great two-in-one gift idea!

It’s the perfect size for a placemat plus, you can write mom sweet

notes with the dry erase pen which is included.

{ I picked up some additional colorful pens! }

I decided to pretty up the dry erase board with fresh flowers magnets!

 Here’s the easy how-to!

* Pick up some extra magnets

*Dot the magnet with a dab of floral adhesive

{available at your local craft store}

*Pop on a bloom and voilà 

 BTW the fresh blooms last for hours. You can 

pull them off and reuse the magnet – bonus.

To keep the place setting cost DOWN use bright paper  plates and napkins 

then turn UP the style with pretty gold embellished glassware filled

with a personal MINI bouquet just for mom.

To keep it super fresh and color packed, I did the old vase inside a

vase trick and then lined the glass with slices of fresh lemon.

Speaking of fresh, nothing says F R E S H  quite like fresh citrus.

Which brings me to this mouthwatering Mother’s Day Cocktail ~
