You forgot your mom's birthday! What can you make out of super glue and olive pits?

It would, of course, be the pits from black olives because black olives are the olive du jour at my house. I'm thinking panda eyes . . . a mosaic! It might be a trivet or an ashtray, whichever it more closely resembles upon completion. She already has too many trivets and has never smoked so she can't use either of them, but she will cherish it because I made it for her. I love her for that!
