Graduation and Teacher Gift Printables - End of the School Year Goodies!

Image
 Here it is, Maycember! Once the month of May starts it quickly snowballs into a continuous stream of concerts, recitals, final games, awards ceremonies, graduations and parties! It's almost too much, and yet, how could it be too much? This is it! This is what it's all for! All the hard work of going to school and taking the tests and practicing the piece and dreaming of the celebration, this is the culmination of all that effort!  Over of the years, as I've prepared teachers' gifts and graduation cards to use, I've saved the printable files to use again in the future or make available for others as well.  Here are some of my favorites: I like these green flowers and the Pink & White cookies at Trader Joe's. I thought they made a nice little bundle for either Teacher Appreciation week or a thank you at the end of the year (if you can keep the cookies around long enough!) Two color options available in case you are low on ink!  LINK TO LISTING Cowboy Caviar f...

Based on "A Day at the Beach," this is actually a baby blanket rather than the full-size beach blanket (and without the brilliant stone-holding corners). It's only about 45 x 45", which of course made it pretty quick to do. I stayed close to Denyse's color choices (because I love them so!) but went with browns instead of blacks to make it a little gentler for my friend's new baby boy. (She's a hip architect who specializes in green building materials, so I had the challenge of making something eco friendly and not cutesy. . . this colorful, all-cotton quilt was perfect!) In fact, I can't tell you how much I love the way this blanket turned out. . . I make a lot of baby blankets for friends and this is probably my favorite. I have enough material to do another, so I'll start soon, but the next one will be opposite, lime green and brown on the front with the turquoise dip-dyed fabric on the back. And maybe I'll keep that one! My modern-asthete-h...
