April is
winding down, and that means May will be here before you know it. During the
month of May the most popular occasion to craft for is Mother’s Day. Frames are
a great gift to give any Mom. It is a keepsake for your photo keepsakes. Debbie
Saenz created this Mother’s Day frame. It was made with FolkArt and Mod Podge.
