Simple “Smart” Teacher Appreciation Gifts
| May 10, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Crafts, DIY |
I wanted to do something for Michael’s teachers, after all it is Teacher Appreciation Week! Nothing fancy, but something cute and fun to just let them know we appreciate what they do! I used my Silhouette Cameo and my Sketch Pens to make the tags! I am not sure why I thought those colorful little sketch pens were so intimidating? They were a breeze to use! After I printed the words with the Sketch Pens, I then added the border and cut with my Cameo. Then I just enlarged the border and cut the green backing for the tags. To… Continue reading…

“Aren’t people just going to wipe their feet on it?” A question that I would expect to hear from my husband’s mouth, but instead it came out of my 5 year old’s mouth! Just like his daddy! Me: “Well, yes, but I didn’t want it to be boring. I wanted it to be pretty!” Michael: “Alright but don’t complain to me when someone wipes mud all over it!” Me: {Seeing wheels turning in his little head} “Don’t you dare wipe mud all over it!” Michael: {Disappointed look…turned into evil mischievous look} “OK!” and runs out!
