Mother's Day "Magik Sticks"



We bought vases for Mother's Day in hopes of filling the vases with water and flowers.  Well, as soon as we brought the vases home and filled them with water, they leaked from every side!  Awesome... not....  Personally, I think it's a bit weird to give fake flowers as a gift.  Flowers aren't really my thing, but fake flowers are especially strange.  So, we had to get creative.  Jason's nieces call their mom's cooking utensils "Magic Sticks."  So, we decided to make a sign to hang on the vase that said "Mom's Magik Sticks" in little kid handwriting.  On the back, Kingston (our dog), signed his name with his paw print :)   Cute, right?  I thought so too!  We then bought wooden spoons (the nicer kind, not the cheapos) and burned their names and initials on the sticks.  Assemble it all together and it makes quite the gift :)
