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…
Pillow Box Business Card Holders

When I attended Bloggy Boot Camp a few weeks back, I knew I’d be meeting a few of my favorite bloggers in real life. I wanted to give them a little something from me! I love surprises and thought they would also! I scored a great deal on these Kraft Pillow Boxes from Blue Ming Deals. I knew that we’d be collecting a ton of business cards and if these girls were anything like me, they would need a place to keep them all together and accounted for! I thought these cute boxes would be perfect! They just needed to… Continue reading…

It’s no secret my 5 year old loves letters. It’s also no surprise that he LOVES the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I mean, a book…about LETTERS! OMG! He can recite it…without the book. He also loves to act out the book with his magnetic letters. I made him this printable that I just attach to a cheap cookie sheet an then he can use his magnetic letters on the board. He loves it. It works great in the car also because the letters stay stuck to the cookie sheet and he knows the book by heart! Here is what… Continue reading…

I do realize that I may be posting this project a wee bit late but since it is revolving, it really doesn’t matter when you start it! With the colds we caught from the Holidays and then the recent passing of one of our family dogs, I am just moving a bit slow! I’d love to say that I am that mom that has her children’s baby books up to date, all shots recorded, when each of their teeth popped through, the funny things they say all documented in a cute baby book that holds their first cut lock of… Continue reading…
