back to school mini notes

back to school notes for brandon

made these back to school mini notes to tuck into brandon's backpack or lunch bag to brighten up his day when he starts 2nd grade on september 1st.

i've been sneaking notes since he was in kindergarten. he loves it and it brightens up his day.

made up some of the punny sentiments myself.

btw, i don't just throw the cards into his bag.....i put them in a zip lock baggie so it doesn't get wet or dirty. ;)

these were fairly fast to make since i alway stamp extras when i make cards and most of these were already stamped. so i used up scraps of paper too that would have gotten tossed.

make some of these for your kiddos, young & old and slip them in their bag for a surprise! it'll make their day---i guarantee it will bring a smile to their face!

Adorable set for Brandon, Ivy! Love each one! I used to love hiding little notes in my boys' lunches. That is until they got older and asked me to stop! :)

Great reminder that I need to put together my back to school notes. Last year I made one with a mummy stamp and named it money from your mummy :)
