It’s been several years since this was first put on Pinterest, and most of the other comments are 9 years old, but, I just saw this today. My Mom passed away 35 years ago, before I was married or had children. My brother had 2 small kids at the time she passed away, and he apparently does not keep sentimental things like I do. So, for me, there are no cards, or anything with “Nana” on it. It grieves me so, that I don’t have that to pass on to my kids and grandkids now. I do have “Mom” written several times. Hopefully I can come up with some way to come up with “Nana” for these 2 generations and those to come. I love this idea, and I will be making them for several people I love.

What did you use to trace the signature and transfer it to the surface?

When my dad passed away twelve years ago, my mom stayed with me for a few days that summer. I had to work every day, so I would get the coffee pot ready for her every day before I left. I left a note that read “Coffee pot is ready, just turn it on.” One day she wrote a note below mine that read “Good to the last drop.” I have kept that note in a prominent place as a reminder of my mom’s always grateful spirit.

After seeing your post I decided to make coffee mugs for my two sisters with a transfer of my mom’s note. I know each of them will love this gift.

My mom has been gone for seven years now, and you are so right — life is not the same without your mom.

Thanks, Sandy, for this great idea.

What a sweet and thoughtful gift! I’ll have to look through some letters that my late grandmother sent me to see if I can do something similar. Thanks for the idea!

What a neat idea! I have a few recipes from my mom and grandma and that is very special to me. But this is a great idea, too. Love it!
