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...

happy super/fat tuesday

What a day! I think they should pass out beignets and king cake at the voting booths today instead of "I voted" stickers and tootsie-rolls. . . but no beads, please, voting booth volunteers . . . just leave those festive sweaters on.

So, I need to post this picture of Mitt Romney.I'm officially declaring my endorsement of the velvetmitt.com website. . . you've got to see this incredible velvet painting of Mitt Romney! Hilarious! Not that I'm voting for him necessarily, but I love the website and the painting and the funny story behind it, it was commissioned as a Christmas present to an unsuspecting (and, as yet, unaffiliated) wife. Did it work? Has she been persuaded to vote for Mitt today in the primaries? We'll have to ask Alyse later today. . . and, for the record, I was not able to find any velvet pictures of the other candidates to post. . .

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.
