Teacher Appreciation!

I KNOW I am WAY behind on blogging... but you know, life happens first!

We have been having such a FUN summer around here,

and the BUSY fun should start next week.

So I am working on clearing off my camera memory cards for

Mega Sports Camp

Project Surf Camp

Audrey's Dance Recital

AND
Rock for Surf

ALL next week.....

Hopefully I will be posting lots this weekend so I can start this crazy week with a clean camera card!

At the end of the school year this year I wanted to do something fun and unique for my kids teachers....

So I searched my brain and I looked around online...

And then I remembered this printable from The Best Part of Believe

And then I remembered that I had some cool cloth bags left over in my stash from Butterfly Boutique....

And then there is Carole that can sublimate anything onto fabric for me....

So I personalized the subway art some....

Had Carole sublimate it for me....

And added some ribbon from the $1.00 bin at Micheal's....

And came up with these totally cute end of the year book bags for the teachers in our life this past year!

I was thrilled with a cool, usable gift for under $5.00 each!

And since the theme of this post is Teacher Appreciation I thought I would include the cards we made the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Day.

Our school did a little one things a day for a week project....

The first day was to write a note.... but we didn't get them done on the first day!

The second day was to take your teacher a flower... so on day two they got their note with a "flower"

Now I personally love fresh flowers, but I thought the teachers might be getting a lot of those that day. So I had the kids pick out some flower pins or clips out of my stash and give one to each teacher. I think they might last longer that way!

Of course on the last day of school I also remembered the bus driver.....

Good thing I have a cupboard stocked with home made jams, jellies and butters and a Cricut that I can whip up cute cards in a matter of minutes!

Jesse, our fabulous bus driver, had a great gift too!

So what do you do for the teachers in your life???
