Happy Mother's Day!

This pile of scraps became this:

Cost roughly  20.00 to make, Including flowers! lots of sweat equity. Ended up using stain and paint I had on hand. This is the perfect gift for a woman, similar items I've found online go for 100 and up, and not much different! So I was happy to make a bunch of these to make everyone's mother, including my own, very happy. I did change the trim, using 1x2's, as well as adding a mini shelf to the top of it, I absolutely love it. I ended up using 2 1x2's in the planter box, to make sure water would drip out, and not pool.

this gives you an idea of the width
And for my Mother's Day? My 16 year old, who just had her birthday May 7th, used her birthday gift card to pick, order, and pay for these beautiful flowers for me...
She is the light of my life, and because of her kind spirit, her brother and father's name were added to the card. I got the "What Flowers?" when I thanked the boys. Thank you Bre, for being my daughter.
    Short and sweet, gonna try like crazy to get four 12's this week, try to stay one step ahead of the bills.
Keep on keeping on people~!
