Information
      This can be used a gift for a child to give to a mother or grandmother. It can be personalized with the child name and the year. It can be used to place a photo or give the child some markers or paint pens and let them create a drawing for their loved one. 
You can put an easel on the back or a magnet like I did for this project.
