Teacher Appreciation

It's Teacher Appreciation Week!
And in true slacker form, I waited until the last day of the week to send anything to school.


I made these flower clips for the boys' teachers using the pattern and tutorial (I only used 3 of the petal patterns though) from Suzanne at Just Another Hang Up. Then I designed and printed the 4x6 cards to attach them to. Easy peasy. :)

Funny story- while I was burning the edges of the flowers with a candle, Owen showed up behind me waiting ever so patiently with a hot dog on a fork. He figured he could roast the hot dog once I finished my project. Silly boy! Instead we had a chat about fire safety. At least life is never dull around here.

Pinwheels!

My cousin and his wife are having a baby girl! We don't get many girls in our family so this is pretty exciting. :) We love our boys, don't get me wrong. But there's something so fun about girls!

The baby shower was Saturday and I was in charge of making pinwheel decorations.
Here are some pics of the pinwheel garland I made.
I used papers from My Minds Eye Lush line, buttons from my stash, mini clothespins, some twine and some lace. Glued it all together and you've got a garland.

I also made some single ones for centerpieces. Just picture them on a stick instead of attached to the garland. ;)

And I only managed to ruin 1 shirt in the process. I was using a bottle of Scotch Quick Dry glue. It wasn't coming out of the bottle very well. So I squeezed it harder. And it exploded all over me. And my couch. Thankfully it came out of the couch. My shirt, not so much. Oh well. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
