Teacher/Parent Appreciation: Class Projects

Here are a pair of projects that I used this year for my daughter's class.  

I took a few chalkboards to school and took  two photos of each child: one telling what their favorite subject their teacher taught them and one telling what they want to be when they grow up.  

I used the first for teacher appreciation week... I printed this as an 11x14 and framed it.   

The next one I printed as an 8x10 and brought several copies for the parents to keep.

Fun little keepsakes for both the parents and the teachers!

Fall Inspiration: Halloween Costume Banner

I saw this adorable idea for a Halloween Costume banner this morning and have been thinking about it all day.  Such a FUN idea to bring out each year and add to as years go by... I have decided I MUST make this this year. 

FREE printable banner is available through the How Does She blog when you sign up for weekly emails!!  I have been receiving these emails for about a year now and have never been disappointed with their crafty inspiration. 

St. Patty's Day: Green Eggs and Ham Lunch

So, my fabulous friend Brooke (who needs to update her blog with this!) invited my girls and I over for a Green Eggs and Ham lunch on St. Patrick's Day... and since I am behind on my blogging, I thought I would post it now before I forget and it never makes its way onto the blog.  Really, that would be a shame too because it was SO darned cute and a perfect St. Patrick's Day theme :-)

Here was the adorable plateing...

• hard boiled eggs dyed GREEN
• rolled ham
• a 'Hope Your Day is Lucky' printable attached to a handmade paper cup with rainbow goldfish crackers
• mini can of Sprite
• Shamrock straw (found at Old Navy)
• 'You're My Pot 'O Gold...' printable attached to a bag of rainbow colored jelly-beans and chocolate gold coins!

Thanks again for lunch, Brooke!  The kids had so much fun!  Can we do it again next year?

And, how perfect would this be for Dr. Seus's Birthday??

St. Patty's Day: {Part One} Breakfast | St. Patrick's Day

I had so much fun with St. Patrick's Day this year.  I had planned out breakfast and dinner and we wen't to a friend's house for a fun lunch.  I am going to do a post for each event!

The girls woke up to leprechaun footprints leading to the kitchen table.  There they found a decorated chandelier, a caraffe of green milk, and two bowls of LUCKY Charms cereal!

The super cute FREE printables were found at eighteen25.

'Lucky U' was found on this post.

I'm so LUCKY... was found on this post.
