I bought a cheap glass vase, painted LO's feet with three differen't color stripes and put her footprints opposite each other (toes up) with a brown stripe in the middle, and voila! A butterfly! I painted little flowers on it too. I am by no means an artist but it came out pretty cute I made one for my mom and my MIL. They're going to fall over from the cuteness!
We had family pictures taken. I've resisted posting them to FB so that she can be surprised. MIL thinks that DH's schedule has had zero open time in it lately... he he

Opps didn't know you already suggested this! Guess that's what I get for not ready everyones comments before posting. Well the pic I posted is what she did but on a vase. Sorry about that!
I got my mom and MIL a Vera Bradley photo case thing that you can carry in your purse. It holds 20 4x6's. I am putting a few pics of my DD in them and then letting the grandmas fill them the rest of the way up.
Love these.. what kind of paints are you guys using to do footprints? I know the Porcelaine 150 glass paints that Pebeo make are water based and can be baked on permanently, I have used them before.. just never like this. What are you using on canvas?
I thought about making his thank you cards with footprints and a picture.. so I am assuming the regular footprint kits ink can be used for that.
My mom constantly texts for pictures everyday...seriously...so I got her a brag book and I added a few photos and the rest she can fill up along the way.
Re: mothers' day ideas for new grandmas?
I ordered my mom a vase from Uncommon Goods.

I think this is a cute idea. Or a tree with the leaves the baby's handprints.
