Moment's with Mom Project

Every year at preschool we have something made to give/sell the moms for Mother's Day. We actually send a note home to the dads giving them the opportunity to purchase a special gift for the moms. In the past we had a photographer come take "face shots" of the kids in a candid sort of way. Then she put the pics in a matte and wrote a bible verse on it. Everyone loved them. The pictures were always great. A couple of years ago she quit doing it though. Fortunately for me, my director thought of me when she was deciding what to do for the preschool moms. She actually asked me to paint a canvas for all 90+ moms! I didn't think I could get that large of a project done in just a few weeks so I suggested the frame in the above picture. So, last year was my first year for this preschool project. Everyone really loved them so I was given the opportunity to do them again this year. Last year the Asst. Dir. took the pictures but this year we had a photographer come take them. So I ended up making about 87 pictures frames this year. They match last year's frame but with a different verse. Everyone seemed to love them again. My painted canvases and picture frames can be seen at www.jennygardner.smugmug.com.
