Dear Crafts,

I'm in the mood to celebrate! That's because May is filled with things that bring great joy. Of course, there's Mother's Day (along with lots of ideas for making heartfelt gifts for your mom). This month also is ideal for getting outside to plant fragrant flowers, start a vegetable garden in raised beds, or install a dreamy water garden. Then enjoy wonderful smells, tastes and sounds all summer long. But first things first: Happy Mother's Day!
