TEACHER APPRECIATION

If I had a few more minutes this could have been even cuter, but really it is the thought that is the important part here. My kids have such excellent teachers, and we had a blast putting this together. If I had more time i would have tried to inclued more students...

Each day my kids' teachers received a bag or basket with a couple of the following items in it.











Here are a few more Ideas:
*  Thanks for all the "thyme" you give.
*  You are so "Pop"ular
*  Your a cut above the rest "scissors"
*  "Hands Down, you are the best" -apron with kids handprints. - or hand sanitizer.
*  you have made a mark on our lives -dry erase markers, or teacher stampes.
*  You are like a breath of fresh air "air freshener". (my sons 5th grade teacher had some stinky boys in there, lol)
-- I just added up what I spent, it was about $15 per teacher, this includes 2 little baskets for each teacher, and gift bags from around the house.  There were a couple other students who pitched in, so I thought it was a pretty great gift.  ( I do use coupons, so it might cost some people a little more than that)
Most importantly, THANK A TEACHER today.

Mothers Day Corsage.

These are usually made for the hair, and I knew My mother loved wearing flowers, so I added a pin to the back to make it into a corsage.  This should be much cheaper and easier to mail.  Not to mentionit will last forever.  I wish I had more pictures, but life is so crazy, the kids were getting into the car while I was making it, and I took the picture in my car in front of the post office.  But I got it done, and I want to make one for mysef if I ever gt time.  LOVE IT.  ♥

Happy Mothers Day Mommy.
