hey friends I want to wish a a very very
0:08
happy day to all of you poine club
0:10
members uh I wanted to do something
0:13
special for y'all I wanted to give y'all
0:15
some tips maybe on Mother's Day uh gifts
0:19
that you kind of do yourself and uh this
0:22
is Eddie he is my personal assistant and
0:25
Eddie is so good with with crafts and
0:29
fly arrangements and
0:31
Bows uh Eddie really gets in there with
0:34
me and has a as good a time as I have so
0:39
I got Eddie out here because you know
0:41
bring your husband in bring one of your
0:43
children because this is really really
0:46
fun if you do it with somebody make it
0:50
an event so I just got through making
0:54
six Easter baskets for grandchildren so
0:57
I thought well for Mother's Day how
1:00
about a basket for Mother's Day yeah
1:03
yeah you know it that that's a great
1:05
idea you could actually use like your
1:08
more traditional uh Easter baskets the
1:11
round with a handle but Eddie went out
1:14
and found this little uh
1:18
container kind of like an apple basket
1:21
kind of you know yeah it does it looks
1:23
like an apple basket so it goes along
1:25
with the theme now the theme that we're
1:28
doing in this is a gardening theme so if
1:31
you've got a mother or a special Aunt
1:35
what whoever the woman is in your life
1:38
uh fill the basket with things that she
1:40
loves like over here Eddie and I put
1:43
this basket together and it's like a spa
1:47
basket it's got the candles it's got um
1:51
your soaps and your creams and of course
1:54
your beautiful Orchid that she can keep
1:57
forever uh gosh what all is in there
2:00
idiot there's some aroma therapy and
2:03
some Joe Malone
2:05
perfume oh hand cream you know all kinds
2:09
of so yes a mother that really enjoys
2:12
massages and Spas which there's not many
2:15
women that don't that's a perfect basket
2:18
for her if your mother is really into
2:22
bacon oh my gosh you could do a
2:25
precious basket I was going to try to
2:28
find something but I figured that was a
2:30
given that we would do it yeah yeah I
2:34
mean you can include a cookbook in it um
2:38
or maybe a trip to a special trip that
2:41
involves uh cooking demos there's just
2:45
so much you can uh do that away now we
2:49
want to build this up and I tell you I'm
2:52
killing the sound man right
2:55
now he probably has no ears Left Right f
3:02
so you can use
3:04
newspaper listen I've used a little bit
3:06
of everything to to fill that up but the
3:10
most important thing is that you bring
3:12
it up do we have any more of that brown
3:15
paper ready uh we because we could have
3:18
a little bit more we've got lots of lots
3:20
of grass grass to pop it up but you want
3:24
one more layer yeah this is so important
3:27
y'all because you want to build that
3:30
basket up you don't want to just like
3:31
sit it in the bottom and everything gets
3:34
lost in it you know my Aunt Peggy and
3:38
Uncle George I've told y'all the story
3:40
so many times they own the toy house in
3:43
Al benie and ain't Peggy did the most
3:46
beautiful custom Easter baskets you have
3:50
ever seen and um so anybody that wanted
3:55
something very special for their child
3:56
at Easter they went to the toy house and
3:59
my aun Peggy did it so um I had her
4:04
teach me how over the years cuz I had
4:07
those two little boys and I wanted to
4:10
make their uh Easter basket very special
4:14
so I was so
4:16
fortunate uh to be trained by the best
4:20
as far as I'm concerned aren right you
4:22
might want to take your ears off pH
4:25
because I'm fixing a crunch this is this
4:28
is stiff stiff
4:30
paper but it's going to build it up like
4:33
perfect
4:35
Daddy all right so you want to be
4:37
opening our grass now they they have got
4:41
so many different grasses out there
4:44
available uh in different materials and
4:47
different colors but we thought this
4:50
would be pretty and uh you know the
4:55
color is so good it would go with
4:57
anything that you decide to put in
5:05
it you know this is just one of those
5:07
things that I enjoy doing the most and
5:11
uh you you can make these as expensive
5:15
as you want or as
5:20
um inexpensive as you want yeah yeah you
5:23
can find I mean right now you I think
5:25
you can find some great deals especially
5:27
doing a garden garden you know what I
5:30
forgot to do Eddie make a hole I forgot
5:32
to make a hole for our Orchid so I'm so
5:35
glad you're here with me now I've made
5:37
you a
5:38
hole and if you would just and you
5:41
notice we bought a beautiful container
5:44
yeah it's a CO you know porcelain but
5:47
copper yes so we want mama to be able to
5:50
have that and continue using it all
5:55
right it's real important that you have
5:57
scissors around and you you have tape um
6:02
look at
6:04
this for Mama's Garden yes I mean how
6:07
cute is this all right now let's kind of
6:09
fan these out Eddie like this and in
6:12
order to keep them fanned out we're
6:15
going to have to tape
6:16
them so you wouldn't believe how much
6:20
tape is in my grand children's Easter
6:25
baskets but by taping
6:28
it
6:30
we can get that to Fan out and stand up
6:34
just like
6:35
that I'm going to need one more piece of
6:38
tape up
6:43
here but look how cute that
6:46
is and then to make sure it sticks to
6:49
the
6:51
stick and I would recommend I don't have
6:55
that with me but I always use tape
6:58
that's completely clear yeah so you
7:01
can't see
7:04
it so there we go you want to peek
7:06
around the front Eddie and see how that
7:09
looks how that's looking yeah great
7:14
and you know this is perfect
7:18
Eddy it can hold your
7:21
tools because we're going to give Mommy
7:24
tools to dig with yeah you know how many
7:28
times I've gone back and forth to the
7:29
garage to get I know to to I know so
7:33
we're going to have them all together
7:35
here for so let's see how we're going to
7:38
put this it says plays with dirt
7:43
y'all and I like that so let's see how
7:48
we can do
7:49
this I kind of
7:53
like I kind of like tying things up with
7:58
ribbons so if you would cut
8:01
me a small do we have any small
8:05
ribbon that's not quite as
8:09
wide I bet we
8:11
do we're constantly doing crafts around
8:14
this house y'all so we usually have oh
8:17
that's
8:19
perfect that is perfect what color do
8:22
you want green it doesn't matter I think
8:24
either one will be
8:28
fine
8:31
like long enough
8:32
Perfect all right so if you would just
8:36
tie that
8:40
up and by tying that up
8:43
it it
8:46
helps do you need a little bit more on
8:49
the other side I think so it's off off
8:52
balance see this is why I say it's so
8:55
much more fun when two of you are are
8:58
doing this and just tie it as tight as
9:00
you
9:08
can that's
9:11
adorable that is adorable Edie
9:15
so now we're going to place
9:19
this how about right
9:22
there and again I'm going to take
9:25
a piece of tape wherever it went
9:30
thank you I'm going to take a piece of
9:33
tape and just kind of secure that
9:37
apron right there all right let's come
9:42
in here on this
9:44
side with Mama's
9:48
tools this one here looks dangerous I
9:51
know I know that's it's like one of your
9:53
cooking that's what I was thinking now
9:54
see I would love that uh this utensil
9:58
when I'm in there making um uh like a
10:02
butt something that weighs heavy uhhuh
10:06
that would be perfect all right I've got
10:09
some gardening
10:11
magazines and how neat is that we've
10:14
actually got uh this is a very very
10:17
popular magazine besides cooking with
10:19
poine oh yeah yeah why didn't we put a
10:21
cooking with poine in there uh but we
10:24
got gardening guns and women and men
10:26
love this magazine and of course the
10:29
noia Journal is great so we're going to
10:31
tuck these right here in the
10:35
back for
10:39
background perfect and I'm going to use
10:42
another piece of
10:44
tape to just make sure those stay taped
10:47
together and let's see the last thing
10:49
we've got is a birdhouse yeah how cute
10:53
is this birdhouse uh in our yard here I
10:57
have got bird houses
10:59
everywhere everywhere now we could have
11:02
stuck a little bird in there too
11:04
couldn't we have well we've got a see
11:08
Eddie's got everything I just I just
11:12
love hanging out look at that I love
11:14
hanging out with
11:16
Eddie uh cuz he he digs this stuff just
11:19
as much as I do we Michael not so much
11:23
although you know what I take that back
11:27
uh I was doing some look how cute that
11:30
is look how cute I was fooling around
11:34
with Driftwood one day and uh Michael
11:37
got in there and he did a he did a
11:41
Driftwood boat he did he made it I mean
11:45
did a beautiful creation and we hung it
11:48
in the dock house yes yes we did all
11:52
right so get around there Eddie and tell
11:54
me how that looks I think I've got
11:57
everything in there oh no I don't have
11:59
the
12:00
gloves gosh the gloves are so important
12:03
the gloves could probably just hang out
12:05
the two corners you kind of tell me um
12:09
let's see where where the gloves can
12:13
go maybe if we tie it like that and just
12:16
yeah yeah that's perfect all right so
12:19
I'm going to see if I can't just stick
12:23
it down just like that and we could
12:26
always fill in with candy
12:29
all right let's get that little do we
12:31
have any candy Eddie I didn't get any
12:34
candy I can't believe we don't have any
12:36
candy around this house I
12:39
didn't I can't believe it all right so
12:42
our basket is assembled now we're ready
12:45
to wrap it um and I I
12:50
prefer using a clear cellophane now you
12:53
can you can get that too in colors you
12:57
know what I better secure that birdhouse
12:59
hadn't
13:00
I tape it to the magazine I'm just going
13:03
to tape it to the
13:05
magazine so that that will stay so it's
13:07
important that you have some tape around
13:10
all right Eddie I'm going to lift this
13:12
up okay you want to go across or this
13:14
way uh we we're probably cuz this
13:17
container is so big we're probably going
13:20
to have to run it both ways all right
13:23
all right so you'll want to Center that
13:24
in your paper and then you want to make
13:27
sure you've got enough
13:29
enough to uh make a pretty little I
13:33
think top so we going to need to go this
13:36
that way some more we're going to need
13:38
some
13:41
more um Heights down there I think we're
13:44
going to have to change it and let me
13:46
get another roll
13:49
okay which that'll be fine we can uh
13:53
like I said because the container is so
13:55
big we're going to have to do it both
13:57
ways so so we'll start then by turning
14:00
this this
14:03
way since we ran out of paper and like I
14:07
said you'll want to make it
14:10
even so that your
14:13
papers on either side are the same
14:15
height so I'm going to take this and I'm
14:18
going to Eddie if you would hold up this
14:22
side please I'm going to do this just
14:25
like I was wrapping a gift
14:34
box so there we go I'm just tucking
14:37
those folding those
14:39
Corners I sure do hate that I don't have
14:42
invisible tape though because you can
14:45
see this tape and I would never
14:48
ever use tape that
14:52
um that shows up all right so again
14:56
we're going to if you'd hold that up
14:58
Edie
15:00
please all right so there we go we're
15:02
going to make
15:04
our our fold right
15:07
there and our fold right
15:12
here and then we're just going to bring
15:15
this up and you know I don't think we
15:17
going I don't think we're going to have
15:19
to go the other
15:20
way so you just want
15:24
to all right I want to try to get that
15:27
in the middle
15:29
kind of if the steeple kind of just
15:32
stick
15:32
out that's
15:37
perfect now did you ever make um gift
15:42
baskets for your your mom or is this
15:45
kind of a present day creation I I
15:48
didn't I was yeah get that real real
15:52
tight um I was not fortunate enough to
15:56
have my mother for very long you know
15:59
she died a young woman she died when she
16:02
was just 44 years old but I have my Aunt
16:06
Peggy who has been like a wonderful
16:12
um a wonderful um substitute CU nobody
16:17
can take your mother's place but a Peggy
16:21
has been um such a such
16:25
a role model for me she's been my
16:28
biggest cheerleader all right so we
16:30
going to make some pretty bows for this
16:33
and you want to start by uh looping your
16:37
bow around and then when you get to the
16:39
back you want to twist it and I
16:41
recommend that you always always work
16:45
with a wired
16:47
ribbon uh because it's just much more
16:50
flexible and you can get it to do things
16:53
that uh you can't get regular ribbon to
16:57
do
16:59
all
17:01
right so just that
17:03
easy we've got a bow and I'm going to
17:06
cut this down here cuz I want a tail on
17:12
it all right and I'm going to take my
17:14
thin piece of
17:17
wire and I'm just going
17:21
to pinch that bow
17:24
together and mash it as hard as I can to
17:30
make it as little as I
17:33
can all right and then all you have to
17:35
do is take your
17:39
your
17:42
bows your little B up bows and just work
17:46
those
17:47
around just like that and we've got a
17:50
beautiful bow for a beautiful basket for
17:53
our mother all right Eddie let's uhoh it
17:58
fall apart I didn't even have it
18:01
twisted all right so I got to get that
18:04
piece back in
18:07
there you know I said when I came back
18:09
in my second life I want to come back as
18:12
an
18:13
octopus wouldn't that be good to have uh
18:16
eight arms except when it was time to do
18:19
your finger nails that might not be some
18:24
fun alrighty so no harm no fail
18:30
we got it all right so this is such a
18:34
pretty uh ribbon and your Ribbon is so
18:38
whoa your Ribbon is so so
18:41
pretty I'm going to cut this one about
18:44
right there and then we're just going to
18:48
put what do you think should we put one
18:51
on one side and one on the other yeah
18:53
that'll cover it I think that'll be
18:55
pretty all right so let's take a piece
18:59
of the
19:02
solid and put around here and you do the
19:05
same thing with your bow so we can it
19:09
just kind of like ties them
19:12
together you see what I'm saying so
19:14
we'll have a a solid
19:18
streamer to go with the polka doted
19:24
streamer
19:27
yeah
19:29
this is a great color isn't this a great
19:33
color all righty so I'm going to tie
19:35
mine
19:37
on the
19:43
front just like that this this thin wire
19:47
y'all you can do anything with the wire
19:51
and just for a curly q
19:54
something we picked up these little
19:57
ribbons and
20:00
uh they've got a sticky back to them so
20:04
I'm going to come in here whoa my T
20:08
rolling on me I'm just going to stick
20:10
that underneath there to give it a
20:14
little jazzed up
20:17
look
20:20
and to finish this I want a name tag and
20:26
where Eddie you found these
20:29
um at probably a craft store is that
20:33
right yeah um these are not um uh
20:36
chalkboard um it's it feels like a chalk
20:39
board yeah so I'm going to
20:43
uh just put a note to
20:52
Mama to
20:56
Mama with love
20:59

21:03
hug and the year that I did this
21:07
far looks like you wrote with your
21:09
lipstick I know what it does doesn't it

21:16
much fun putting this
21:19

21:27

glad I didn't put my name on it so you
21:44
can put your name on it and send that to
21:48
