Teacher Appreciation

My intentions were to make this teacher gift by Nichole for my daughter, Nicole to give to her English teacher. I got a bit carried away and it no longer seemed appropriate for a Grade 7, male teacher.
I decorated a journal, pen, and a jar which contains strips of paper with journaling phrases. I thought it would be so appropriate for an English teacher to journal over the summer.
I might just have to give this to one of our favourite teachers from primary/junior years.

Teacher Thank You

June is extremely busy with activity and occassions to make cards.
I have been planning Nicole's Birthday Party, Father's Day, Lance's Birthday, Nicole's Birthday, Baby card for co-worker, retirement card for co-worker, teacher cards and gift - that alone is 10 teachers between my two children.
Tomorrow is Father's Day and I haven't made a card for our children to give to their Dad. Well that is not entirely true, as I taught a Father's Day Class at the school and Nicole made a card for her Dad.
Today I will show you a card I fell in love with from Nichole Heady and decided to duplicate it.
I typed up the sentiment on the computer and printed it off on whisper white card stock.

Thanks for stopping aby and have a great Father's Day Weekend.

Simple & Fun

On the weekend, I was preparing for the volunteer work I do at my children's school when the weather was sunny and gorgeous outside...this is the reason for the popscicle card.

Today is rainy and cooler so the orange creamscicle has lost its appeal.

This card was demonstrated last summer but I thought it would be perfect for the students to do during lunch break.

It is simple and fun and I had a variety of flavours - gabel green (lime) yoyo yellow (lemon), and only orange (orange).
