So when thinking about gifts for mothers day this idea popped into my head - I'm pretty sure I've seen it done before, but was none-the-less pretty happy to have thought of it!

Three little girls' hands outlined in their favorite colours - it was very well received, yay! I loved working on it and will have to make some time to do one for our family before they get much bigger!
