Let me ask you this: What do grandmas love more than anything else in the world? Correct, their grandchildren!
So, I figured, they also must love artwork from said kids.
My mom lives in Germany where we have what is called 'Kaffeeklatsch', where basically a bunch of women get together, eat cake and drink well, coffee.
A famous German musician even made a song about this.... Aber bitte mit Sahne
And here is what I have in mind for my Mama: I bought Villeroy & Boch New Wave coffee mugs here..... Dinner Ware Etc
Yes, real fancy. Well, it's for my one and only Mama!!!
Then, I recruited my one and only Aurelia....
We picked up some acrylic ceramic paint at Michaels. Note if you are planning on doing this project with your kids, you may not want to take your kids to pick out the colours because in my case I ended up with pink & purple and I had to use bribing to get the blue that my mom would actually like ;-)
Anywho..... I covered the table and the girl and she painted those mugs.
What's next: Well, after one day of drying, they will be baked in the oven for about 30 minutes at 325F and TADAAA! Personalized Christmas pressie for a Kaffeeklatsch Oma!
Happy Holidays!
.... and yes, you may wanna stay tuned for more DIY Christmas pressies....
