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...

The Bag Tag. . .


I'm behind on three tags so I'm going to try to catch up. Tag #1, the Bag Tag. . . I was tagged by Katherine to share what's in my bag. Well, here is my latest and greatest bag, a gardening tote with all the essentials. . . a fabulous birthday gift from my parents. I can hardly wait to don the hat and the sloggers and get out in my new yard, that's right, I said new yard. We just bought a house and for the first time in a long time I'll have a yard to tinker around in! (Jamshack ladies, let's not bring up the fact that we killed the lawn and several of the bushes way back when in Provo, I'm starting fresh with this house and it will be totally different, I'm more mature now). It has rose bushes and a tulip border and an apricot tree AND an ivy hedge with a picket gate you walk through to get to the back yard, my own secret garden. I'm so excited about it and this bag will get plenty of good use. . .

And I tag A. Porter, A. Pratt, J. Geddes, Missy, Sarah, and Nicole P. . . what's in your bag? You may take a picture or just describe it and then post on your blogs!

hospital buddies

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.

if these old walls could speak. . .

. . . they'd tell fantastic stories of medieval court life and dragons and castles! I just saw these fantastic shadow puppets at Kate's Paperie but of course they are sold out! Wouldn't it be fun to make some though? Lucy's into pirates these days. . . I could design a set of pirate shadow puppets. . . add that to the list of projects I would love to do but probably never will. Seriously.
