Celebrating Grandparents Day

Since 1978 Grandparents Day has been celebrated on the first Sunday following Labor Day. Well, it has been celebrated by people who actually know about the holiday, and have enough brain cells to remember.

I personally, have not been very good about having my children mail things to their grandparents. Every year I think I will do it better. This year, I am making a Squidoo page to make sure we remember to do something and maybe inspire someone else to do the same!

The picture above is of my grandma and grandpa. They are no longer living, and I never got to spend much time with them, but just seeing the picture of them makes me smile.

Why Not Make a Card for Your Grandparents?

Here are some nice quotes:

Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting.

Grandmothers are just antique little girls.
~Author Unknown

Grandfathers are just antique little boys.
~Author Unknown

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.

Or You Could Make a Bookmark!

Grandparents tend to appreciate simple, useful gifts.

Bookmarks are simple to make and are known for being put to good use. Why not print a quote on a 2x6" piece of heavy paper (or use our free bookmark templates) and add a handmade tassel.It's true. Think of all of the gifts received over the years. The ones that are treasured the most are ones that are just too dear to part with. Kids crafts are like that, they are hard to let go of.

This is sure to be a thoughtful gift that grandma or grandpa won't have to worry about where to put!

We now have free printable Grandparents Day Clip Art for you to

    Beautiful! I've got a banner of lace on the outside of my son's old bedroom door, that is now set up for his children. The banner states 'When a child is born.......So is a grandmother.'
