~Teacher Appreciation~ Part 1

This week was Teacher Appreciation Week

My son has THEE BEST Teacher I could ever ask for!!!

I couldn't resist spoiling her just a bit!

I bought her a giant candy bar and did this:

I wrapped it with a cute piece of scrapbooking paper

Cut a circle and a square

added a piece of string & wrapped 2 mini PB cups

in foil to look like ear buds

I used black stickers for the "You Rock"

and hand wrote the bottom "play" button

Teach~Laugh~Learn~Grow

Then I attached an iTunes gift card to the back!

~Teacher Appriciation~ Part 2

I totally 'scraplifted' this idea from my BFF (she's so nifty, it amazes me!) go HERE to see her creation.

Mine turned out to be more of a quote type subway art craft

Warning: I make a complete mess when I do any thing crafty!

I layed out all the chipboard I had just to see what I had and where I could start.

I asked Grant's teacher to send me a favorite quote or scripture

this is from

Psalm 103:11

I ended up purchasing a bigger canvas b/c the one I already had was too small.

I painted it a linen color and then accented the chipboard with a green color

I cut the letter from my cricut and then laid it all out



 It took me awhile to get all the letter "just right" & even when I was done

it still wasn't perfect.....oh well

I used Mod Podge to stick all the letters on

and again an entire caot to seal it all

I added this trim to hide the staples around the edges of the canvas

you can barely see it in the picture but it added a very cute element
