the absolutely gorgeous necklace from katharine sise belongs to entry #17, megan, who said “My mom is the best! She is always prepared and was such a great help for me planning my wedding. I just love her so much, she is my best friend. She is super funny too and doesn’t even know it. I would love to honor her this mother’s day with the beautiful necklace, I know she would be blown away. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!”

that lovely DL & Co candle is going to entry #26, jenny t, who said “I would love to give my mom the candle. My mom is always on the lookout for great smelling candles, and it would be the perfect way for me to thank her for passing along her love of SHOPPING to me! Plus, I owe her for all the times she nursed me through a breakup, helped me move and now, watches over her grandson.”

and the stunning set of paper goodies from linda & harriett belongs to entry #39, donna, who said “For my own mom, I’d love the notecards for her. She likes to send people personal notes and this would be perfect for her.  What makes my mom great: she’s always there to listen.”
