happy mother's day

here is a card i made for brandon's 1st grade teacher. it is teacher appreciation week here and we picked her up a gift card at target. such a pretty gift card! i decided to include it in the front of the card.
teachers are wonderful! i mean, i can hardly stand my own 2 on days.....imagine a roomful of 30+ 6-7 year olds that AREN'T hers! and she comes back day after day to teach! bless all the teachers out there.
i also made some card sets to share on a later post. too tired and i'm on day 3 of a killer sore throat. i know i need to drink more water but makes it hard when you can't even swallow! any tried and true remedies for soothing a sore throat out there that you can share? i got this most likely from brandon. he was out 2 days from school this week, and skipped his swim lesson.....sharing cooties in our house!happy mother's day to everybody! i'm behind in making mother's day cards as the one above is my 1st one! my intentions are good but my body is tired :)

thanks for helping us grow

a picture of brandon & bryan on the last day of schooli got the fun job of making a gift card holder for brandon's kinder teacher for her end of the year present from the entire class. the gift cards sit in a pocket in the back of each flower backed by a popsicle stick or a sterile tongue depressor stuck into floral foam. i covered the ugly green foam with purple-ish/gray sea glass. added some happy bees too!i had brandon write his teacher a note to give her on the last day. i love these apple cards! used them last year for his preschool teachers too!his writing has gotten so much better from the beginning of the school year!this set of butterfly cards were given to his principal

and i included some mini anytime notecards

thanks for stopping by today. happy father's day!
