Create a Slideshow for Mother's Day

Mother’s day is just around the corner and you realise that you have forgotten to make a card. You need to think of something to do very quickly. Not the same old thing this year! Say "I love you!" and show your mom how truly special she is with a Mother’s Day Slideshow.

Choose some good photographs. Photos of you and your mom together doing things, pictures of your mom and her relatives, pictures of mom and dad together, pictures of your mom and your siblings, photos of your mom doing the things she loves most, etc… And choose a couple of your favorite video clips of your mom. Maybe add some old poems you wrote to your mom when you were young. And to top it off gather everyone together and add a personal message through a video clip. Find a way to make your slideshow. There are many ways to do this - some programs come with the technology to create slideshows - Ulead Photo Explorer (download below), for example, allows you to put together photos, videos and music/ sound effects into many formats. You can also use the other software which is designed specifically for the purpose of making slideshows. Show your slideshow. This is the most important and the hardest bit of the process. You need to deliver your slideshow in a way that will really impress your mom. You could throw a surprise party, for example, or you could simply show it to her at home. Whatever you choose to do, make sure it is done with love - that way, everyone will be happy.

Make sure that you mean everything you do. Make sure you order the pictures and videos in a way that makes sense - otherwise it may get quite confusing.Don't put too much in your slideshow - otherwise the people that watch it will get bored. Aim for about five minutes worth of slideshow.Always be careful when downloading from the Internet.
