Last day of school

Here is the card Maelie gave to her teacher with a gift card for the movies. I got this idea here. It was very easy and SO cute that I would have liked to give it to myself!




Here are a few boxes for some teachers.



... and a few packaged chocolate covered pretzels.



Here are Maelie's water bottles packed up and ready to go!

End of school treats

Here are the end of school treats I worked on yesterday for Maelie's class. I am sure they will rip them apart in 5 seconds (I spwnt 3.5 hours making them) haha but it is worth it! Maelie is always proud to give her classmates something handmade.



here is a top view of three of them:





Here is a bit of a front view:



I found the measurements on Nancy Riley's blog and basically CASED her idea! She always has amazing ideas!!

a birthday gift

Today Natalie and I are hosting a strawberry workshop. One of the people joining us had a birthday yesterday.... and so I made her one of these bouquets! I found a different container at Buck or two and it turns out that i love it much more than any other container i used previously!! It looks MUCH better in person!!

I asked her if she could bring her cooler to the workshop today, but didn't say why! I sure hope she doesn't check out my blog this morning! LOL

If you do Sonia.... Happy Birthday!!

it's the little things....

These guys here bring me such joy.



I don't know what it is! But I would much rather have these tall vases filled with ribbon decorating my house than some expensive decorations! It's the simplicity of it all I guess.



I got a big lego container filled with empty spools at a yard sale the other day. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with that!!

a few cards today

Here are a few cards we worked on today.
Lighting not so good... but i guess it's not a photo contest LOL

sunflower

Yesterday I worked on this little sunflower card. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice. The petals are all curled a little and you don't see that effect in the picture at all.

Strawberries

Natalie and I are working on a strawberry workshop this month.

What do you think of these little party favors?



Simple and sweet!

Flower delight

Yesterday I worked on a bouquet of flower for work. We had things that were due and our team team was a bit behind. I sent an e-mail with an incentive saying that whoever sent back their learning plan would get a chance to win a prize....

This is the prize I worked on :





It was pretty funny working on this project in this heat! Every time I touched any part of a flower, it would melt!

We will find out who the lucky winner is tomorrow! I *LOVE* raffling things off!! I hope the winner enjoys it!
