End of the school year

Teacher Appreciation Week was May 7-11.  The kids took a gift for their teachers.  My inspiration came from Pinterest.   They were filled with homemade caramel corn.


Most of you know about my insane need to do some things while completely blowing off others.  Last year I made the kids shirts to wear on the last day of school.  They were a pretty big hit and some of the kids still wear them.  I used fabric and paint on last year's shirts.

This year I used heat transfer vinyl (iron on).  I had some very cute paw prints from my friend and I had been saving them to use on these shirts.  I spent the last two weeks before school let out stewing over what to actually say.  Inspiration definitely hit with these!

It is to be expected that someone will be unhappy when I want to take a picture.  At least we could still see his shirt.



 In case you can't see what they say, I will "translate".  ;)  The school kids' say: 1st Grade   Been there... (and on the back)...done that!  Obviously, only Rebekah's said 1st Grade...I'm trusting you to keep up here!

Joseph's says: Kindergarten Class of 2014 (and on the back) - a paw print with a 14 cut out.

Sarah's says: I never take NO for an answer (and on the back) - DETERMINATION

The shirts got quite a few comments...so I felt accomplished.  *wink*

Note on the picture...those are swimming trunks Daniel has on.  His fashion sense is a little unique, but even he has limits!  hehe

  4. Quick, be ready to make a thousand and a lot of money. On the front it will read "I survived ... . On the back, "the Presidential campaign ads of 2012." You could sell them over the Internet.
