“Sunnies” Sunglasses Case
This post first appeared on the Riley Blake Fabrics Blog.
Are you ready for summer! Oh man am I!!!
There are two things you should know about me 1) I ALWAYS have a pair of sunglasses with me, I can’t drive without them, the sun hurts my eyes. 2) My purse is a MESS. All of the sunglass cases I had before were to heavy so I didn’t carry them around with me. I made this simple case to be lightweight enough to not weigh me down, and the pom pom attachment will make them quick to spot in my purse.
Coach Appreciation Printable
This is an idea that I shared a couple of years ago, but it was shared as part of a larger post on another blog. I thought that the idea of it got a bit lost among all of the other information in that post.
With the end of the school year approaching (HELLO, when did that happen? Isn’t it still January?) I thought that I would share it again. Especially for those of you who are looking for ideas to say “THANK YOU” to all of the sports coaches in your child’s life.
Simple Spiral Notebook Redo
Last month before I went to SNAP I decided to make a little notebook to take with me to take notes from the conference. I intended (don’t you love that word?) to make 2, one for me and one for Traci (my roommate)…. in the end I only got one done and gave it to Traci to thank her for agreeing to tag along with me.
Teacher Gift Idea
We are out of school here for the summer believe it or not! I’m still a little mixed up that it’s still May since the kids are all home today. It’s going to be a loooong summer break.
For the last day of school I sent in appreciation gifts to my kids teachers. Being very girly I thought they would like a basket of “sparkly” stuff.
Teacher appreciation ideas
With teacher appreciation week and the end of the school year coming up I thought I’d share some ideas for teacher gifts that I’ve featured here in the past
you can also make it without the flowers, or add a mirror to the center!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!
Hey!
Sorry it’s been a bit quiet here for a few days! I’ve been a bit under the weather but am healing up quickly!
Since school gets out soon for many of us, (and let me tell you I am READY!! I LOVE summer!! I don’t mind the kids being home and a few months without a crazy schedule is so wonderful!) I thought I’d share a few teacher gift ideas.
This is a gift basket I put together for my kids teachers last year. (Sorry for the terrible photos, I’m always working on things waaay after dark!!).
I got a bucket tote and filled it with a beach towel, some sunscreen, lots of good snacks and some lemonade! I think this would also be great with a bottle of “Simply Lemonade” but it needed to stay cold and I wasn’t sure how long it would sit out.
A few other ideas I’ve posted in the past:
Nice notebooks, pens, post it’s and a gift card tied up with cellophane and a ribbon.
“We Love” teacher pennant.
Circle clipboard covered with scrapbook paper with a Movie Gift card attached.
World’s Greatest Teacher Magnet board & Magnets
Popcorn bucket filled with candy, popcorn, popcorn seasoning. You could add a Movie Gift card or I have heard you can now buy Redbox Gift certificates!!
Just a few ideas. I’ll post what I’m making for this year when I get it all finished! (hopefully during the daylight hours so I have a better photo!!)
