Good gift idea?
I was thinking about next Christmas and how I want to make most of my gifts and I thought about my mother. I have seen these cross stitch kits where you can send in a photo and they send you the chart to cross stitch it. My grandparents have passed away- my grandmother 18 years ago and my grandfather May 2009 I was thinking of sending in a photo I have of the two of them together and then cross stitching it for my mom. Would this be a good idea or not? (this would be a photo of her parents)

If she's sentimental, she'll love it! I can imagine my Mom would like something like that.

How thoughtful and as you work it you'll be thinking about them, your Mom and all the love you've shared over the years.
Great gift idea.~*Darlene*~

Great idea but personally my mother would prefer the picture of her grandchildren, instead. Or of her cat. (due to her previous relationship with parents)
