My mom and mother-in-law love getting drawing in the mail from my kids. For Mother’s Day, I used their drawings to make bold, colorful throw pillows. They come out the best when you use drawing with bold lines or bold colors. Just take a photo of a drawing and upload it. They have a machine-washable cover and come in 4 sizes. Prices start at $27.99 on Shutterfly.
Former Art Director for Home Magazine, Heather Leahy Zachariah, left her career in publishing after baby number number one. She now works from home as a freelance graphic designer and a chauffeur to her 3 busy kids. "Working on TipsFromTown has been a wonderful outlet for me. It renewed my love of publishing where I can design colorful, enticing pages online and allows me to share the things I love about being a mom." Heather grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a place that still is near and dear to her. " After living in Brooklyn for 18 years and studying Graphic Design at Pratt Institute, she now lives in the Jersey burbs. "I love living so close to NYC, but in my heart, I'm an Ohio girl."
