Teacher Appreciation

It was Teacher Appreciation Week at Sadie's school, so I threw together a few items for her teacher. These were all ideas taken from different blogs, but I made them cute in my own way!


4 times a week the Kinders do "round-about rotation" with all the Kinder teachers, so I thought they all deserved a little something.

It's My Turn!

My day has finally arrived!

For I don't know how many years I have been making signs for the teachers at my nieces' school. My SIL and her friends usually give them to the teachers for Christmas. Then the teachers started ordering signs for themselves, and then they would order signs for other teachers. There is a little elementary school in Corona keeping me busy!

So with Sadie being in Kinder this year, it was finally my turn to make a sign for her teacher! But I decided to venture outside the box, the teacher is Mrs. Lamb, so I couldn't resist doing something with a sheep or lamb involved. After going through many ideas, I decided to cut out the silhouette of a sheep and put her name on it.


It's a little simple in comparison to some others I've done recently, But I was out of time and out of ideas, so it works and the teacher loved it.

Thank you Mr. Andy for giving me a woodshop tutorial and assisting in the cutting, you are the best!

More Teacher Signs

I've been working hard! I love my SIL for her confidence in my crafting. She always keeps me busy this time of year. I finished these three signs last night and shipped them to SoCal this morning! I wish I could have fit in that box too. I'll just be grateful I can see the sun here today!

I make many of these signs every year and they are ever evolving. I decided to change it up and use some of my fav handmade flowers this time. I love making these flowers.

Easter Fun

Happy Easter!




I almost forgot to post my cute little Easter gifts. I found these ideas on All The Small Things blog. I loved how she took ordinary easter goodies and spruced them up. My pictures don't do her ideas justice.
















These aren't you usual rubber duckies, they are made of CHOCOLATE! Yum. Throw in some M&M's and a bow and you have a cute little easter goodie. Too Cute!


















These are the Cotton Candy Cones. I promise they had much better presentation, I just forgot to take pictures of them until AFTER my sweet nieces started enjoying them. Super simple.

Thought I would put these up. They make fun gifts for teachers and are pretty simple to put together. Between my dear SIL and her friends I think every teacher at that school has one.
