Back to School Time Already

                                                                    
    Hello friends, its been awhile since I posted. Somehow the summer has slipped right through my fingers and its almost over. I can hardly believe it! Ohh the fun of the summer months.

    We go back to school in 3 short weeks. Before the start of school we have a fun little meet your teacher and drop off all your school supplies day. I made these for the kids to give to their teacher when they first meet. I made the candy bar envelope with my silhouette, but you don't need one to make it, you can always cut the card stock by hand. Hope you and your kiddos have a great first day back to school.


     Thanks for visiting! Once school starts and those kiddos are back in school, I have two fun projects to post until then, enjoy your summer!!

End of the Year Teacher Thank You

 

            I know for some school has already ended, we still have a few more weeks till we can enjoy a schedule free life! I can hardly wait!! This year I really wanted to do something meaningful for our teachers to thank them for such a great year! This kids wrote their teachers a letter of thanks, and I wrote a letter to the Principal about how AMAZING the teachers were. Its my hope they will put that letter in the teachers professional files. I also made a copy of that letter to give the teacher as well. Its always nice to hear the compliments said about you, right? Plus, who doesn't like for the boss to know your doing a pretty spectacular job!  I sure hope they will love it, we are so grateful for all they have done! As I was writing the letters my eyes were getting a little teary just thinking about how much they have helped my kids grow the last nine months.

      I used my Silhouette and made a purse to send everything to school.  An envelope just didn't seem as fun. You don't need a silhouette to make a purse, there is a great tutorial on You Tube here, that spells it all our for you. Thanks for visiting and happy summer to you!

Teacher Appriciation gifts...

            I can not believe Teacher Appreciation week is in 3 days! Ekk!! It totally snuck up on us this year. At our kids school the first two days of T.A. week is linked to a color. Monday they bring in something red. I knew we were not doing apples-they will get plenty of those. We came up with this red Bath and Body Works Strawberry foaming soap for them to take in. (Bath and body works is having a humungo sale on them right now, so if your behind the 8 ball this year like I am your in luck)! I also included the free printable for our followers to use as well. You can download that here.

Tuesday is Yellow Day so we are giving them this....I wish I could have found a yellow drink container but the yellow bow will have to do! Hope they can enjoy it, we found the drink containers at Walmart. We filled them with little individual Lemon Aid packets.

Here is a link of the label I made for the drink container. The free to download for our followers is  here.

To follow it only takes a minute on the side bar.

The other days this week are... bring in your teachers favorite flower, wear their favorite color, and write them a note.  I better get off the computer and round up our kids to get crack'n on there teachers letter of thanks!

Happy Blogging, and thanks for stopping by!

The labels were made with the "Back 2 School kit" and the "Sweet Treats Kit" from Just So Scrappy.

End Of The Year Teacher Gift

       I am WAY excited for summer, I think it's because this time of year is so busy with all the end of the year rig-a-ma-roll. But man I am always so happy to get my kids all to my self during the summer so we can exhale a bit, especially from all this end of the year craziness. Are you guys totally feeling all the hustle and bustle also?

      This book called "Hooray For Diffendoofer Day" by Dr. Seuss (its a book he started to write before he passed) it's one amazing book!! Its about a teacher that cultivates creativity and inspires individual thinking. It really is a must have for any amazing teachers out there! I ordered this book for Teacher Appreciation week. Guess what...It didn't come in time,  go figure, so I had to whip up something else. Of course it did come a day after I needed it. Oh well, it will make a great end of the year gift. The book really is a must have for any fabulous teacher or classroom library. I really think it would  also be good to read to kids before the SOL testing as a bedtime story. The book talks about a really important test the all students must take. Really cute read, total must have!


                                            Here is the link to the download I made for Build It Sew It Love It followers, it only takes a minute over on the side bar, Thanks.
