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...

How exciting! You guys are amazing. But, why haven't we been helping. I will take Lucy any day and you can get Kenyon out there. I thought you were having it all done or I would have offered sooner!

The house looks awesome!! I forgot to tell you - I LOVE the exposed brick! It is much cooler than our exposed faux-brick. Um and not much else is cooler than 'Carnegie'

I love the choice you made in regards to the brick, however I would have totally kept that beautiful wallpaper. It will come back in style...sometime...right :)

Thanks Juliann for your vote of confidence on my visual-art beginnings! It took me a minute to register that the sister you guys introduced us to today was probably Mike's sister that will be living in your apartment downstairs! Tell her welcome to sugarhouse for us. By the way, if you ever need a wall-painter, my offer still stands...I'm excited for you and Mike and your house! (and lucy of course, but I'm not so sure she knows what's going on;)

I'm not very good at home repairs, though i can babysit....but if you ever want to feed the troops one day, i'm more than willing to help out....nothing like some freshly-baked five-cheese penne and crusty bread in the middle of a hard day of work!

This is the coolest! I love the photos...arrows and captions. I can't believe how much you guys have done to the house already! I can't wait to see the end result! I love Lucy's work station... those things work miracles! Love the new fab bar too!

So exciting! It's like I'm watching an episode of This Old House--and I know the stars! Are you having the architect redesign the entire house?

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.
