Mom came to visit me this weekend and we went on a loooong trek through the stores looking for a sweatshirt that has a saying about grandmoms ("grandmom's love is true" or "grandmas are the best" etc). Needless to say, we didn't find one. She desperately wants one (she has several already... how many sweatshirts with grandmom saying can one grandmom own?!)
I have a great gift idea for her birthday, which is Dec 17th. I want to embroider one for her with the names of all her grand kids' names. Depending on how ambitious I get, I'll probably add some sort of embroidered image too (like a rose or heart)
So, in all this, do I put any saying with it, like "Grandmom's love is true blue"? Then complete it with all blue thread and a blue crayon as the image?
If so, WHAT should the saying be? What should the little clip-art type image be? I'll have 7 names total to embroider in addition to everything else, so it can't be too long for fear I'll never finish it in time! :D
I have NO idea what this should be! Mom loves announcing to the world that she's a grandmom. I'll do the embroidery on a basic sweatshirt, nothing fancy and I'll probably add a coordinating turtle neck (mom's winter wardrobe staple).
