Although Mother’s Day 2007 is still one month away, it can’t hurt to start your gift-hunting for Mom or Grandma a bit early. And after visiting the Totally Out of Hand website (http://www.totallyoutofhand.com), you may not need to do any searching at all.

The concept is simple yet beautiful: you send in your child’s artwork (or perhaps your own from when you were young), and the artist creates a sterling silver custom pin, pendant, earring set or keychain especially for Mom. Gold pieces are also available upon request.

Although I don’t have a child and my mom has more jewelry than any one person should be allowed to own, I found it quite fun to simply browse through the various before/after photos on the site.

The jewelry interpretations of the children’s artwork is truly spot-on, and the showcased kids’ drawings are awesome. I’m especially fond of the lion, bird and Santa on the “and More Pins …” page.

Totally Out of Hand’s items also make wonderful gifts for teachers, friends and fathers (art can be made into cuff links, tie tacks, and tie bars as well).

(Oh, and P.S. If you’re considering ordering an item from this site for Mother’s Day, do so very soon, as this is one of their busiest times of year.)
