thanks teacher

 this past week has been teacher appreciation week at our school. i made several simple sets to give to the teachers. the card below was a free printable from here. i just added my own punched out apple. fast & easy. i have a teacher who has made a permanent impression on me....her name is mrs. fujiwara. she was my 3rd-4th grade teacher. what i learned in her class are still the best memories i have of elementary school. do you all have a teacher that has made an impact in your life? please share---i'd love to hear!
 here is an idea for using up leftover paper: cut them in to strips in varying lengths, fish-tail the ends and stamp a fun sentiment and you have a quick card. i made a couple of these to send to moms i think that are fabulous, for mother's day.
 here is bryan dancing to "elvis" at the farmer's market last weekend.
 i dragged the boys to the antique market before the farmer's market. these were the "me wants" but were too much moolah. one day....
 the boys didn't leave empty handed. i'll show you their treasures & mine on another post. nothing too exciting that i bought but fun finds. thanks for stopping by! have a great weekend and to all the moms out there---happy mother's day!

Love these sweet cards, Ivy! That photo of Bryan is adorable, and I know you were thinking storage when looking at those "me wants" at the antique market! Oh, the goodies we could fill those drawers with, huh? Happy Mother's Day to you too! :)
