Teacher Appreciation Week

May 3rd-9th is teacher appreciation week and May 5th is teacher appreciation day. I do appreciate Faith and Will's teachers so much. They take great care of my kids through out the day. I wanted to make them some gifts to let them know that they are appreciated. They will get a gift everyday through out the week. Here is a treat container that I did for them. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters out of vinyl. I put the white paper in the container so that you could see what it said. I also added 2 bags of candy.



Here is some water with a drink mix and 3 little Milky Ways wrapped up. The water has a tag on it that says, "Thanks for quenching the thirst for knowledge" and the Milky Way wrapper says, "You are out of this world"


Here is some microwave popcorn wrapped up and an envelope that has 75cents in it so that they can go and get a coke from the coke machine. The popcorn says, "Just popping on by to say you're a great teacher. The envelope says, "Pop, pop, fizz, fizz. Oh what a great teacher you is!" I know that it is not correct English but it sounds cute.

Here are some candles that I used my Cricut machine to do the letters on. It has a tag that says "Thanks for letting your light shine"

Here is some bath salt. It says, "Some days can be a strain on your body and your brain, so when you feel stressed, a hot bath is best, it truly will help keep you sane."


Here is some clipboards that have paper glued down to it and some pencils. The tag on the pencils says, "Pencils are #2 because teachers are #1."

This is the backside of the clipboard.

I hope that you will let your child's teacher know that you appreciate them with a note of thanks.

Quilts that my mom made.

Here is a quilt that my mom made for Will. It is a sports quilt of course. He loves it. It is so beautiful. I'm so lucky to have such a talented mother.

Here is the quilt that she made for me. It matches my bedroom. I LOVE IT! Faith's is next. She will get hers for her birthday. I got mine for Christmas and Will received his for his birthday.
