Teacher Appreciation

We do so appreciate teachers! To celebrate them and show them how much we care for them and appreciate everything they do we put together some little thank you gifts for Kali, Alex and Elijah’s teachers at St. Edward School and The Gingerbread House.

I used the adorable “Coffee and Cupcakes” kit by Kate Hadfield to make the “Thanks a ‘Latte’” gift tags for our Friday gift for all of the children’s teachers. You can find her scrapbooking supplies at The Lily Pad.

FOLDER

In our little to-go cappuccino gift package we tucked Starbuck’s instant coffee in Mocha, Caramel and Vanilla with 100 Calorie cookie packs and a little container of cream.

Here’s a close up of our label. We even added the children’s initials and a heart on her adorable coffee mug graphic.

DSC_3811-003 For tomorrow’s gift for Kali’s teacher and her aid, we packed a gable box with a zebra print on it with yummy snacks, drinks, drink mixes, candy, cookies and the teacher’s favorite beverage. I used Kate Hadfield’s “Safari Malarky” … also available at The Lily Pad.

FOLDER Here’s our decorated gable box. I love how it turned out and hope the teachers love it too!

DSC_3807-001 Thanks to all of the teachers in our lives for being so generous with yourselves, we truly appreciate and love you!

Special Eggs

Here’s a new layout I created to celebrate spring, eggs and my very special Daddy.

Special Eggs

Journaling:
Every week, usually on Friday morning, my Daddy calls me and asks if we need fresh eggs. His chickens are laying like crazy and he's got more than he and Mama can eat, so he offers them to us and to our kids. Its a small thing he can do that means a lot to us. We love the farm freshness and I envision him up early in the mornings, every day of the week, checking his coop, picking the eggs, cleaning them and storing them for sharing with our family. I really do love him a whole lot and how he shares his very . . . Special Eggs.

I created this layout using the new kit by Shabby Miss Jenn named Easter Meadows and Easter Meadow Trinkets.

Afternoon Delight at our Pond

Now that the time has changed and we've got longer evenings to go out and enjoy our little country pond, we've been fishing almost every evening. On this day... Kip, Cameron and Riley joined our family out there. While the children played on the bank I shot a few photos of our fisher-people.

Afternoon Fishing

I’m looking forward to a lot of good times out at the pond this spring and summer!
