Teacher gifts two and three


Here is the second, followed by the third teacher gift. Again the mailboxes are from target and i made a set of 3x3 cards to put inside. I will include some chocolate of course. All stamps are from SU! and i have no idea about the other stuff. I do know some of this paper is SU! but that is all i know about it. I really enjoyed doing these. I think they are so cute. I really hope the teachers like them and will use the cards. I am sad that i don't have envelopes for the cards, but since they are small maybe they will punch a hole in them and attach them to the package or use them as enclosure cards inside a gift.




The last thing i have to show today, i probably shouldn't even post because it is totally and completely not my idea. I found this card on SCS done by Shuber. I loved it so i took the idea and changed it just a bit because i wasn't going to sew, as was originally done, and i didn't have the same embellishments that were originally used. I of course added glitter instead, which i found at big lots for $1!!! how can you pass that up? I made this for a friend's birthday...i hope she likes it.




i hope everyone has a good night! I actually had a pretty good day today!

always

They are great. Of course the teachers will love them. I think I have to break mine out and decorate them this weekend.

Hey Cyndi! Thanks for stopping by travelingmama and your interest! We have been in Morocco for a year and the goal is to stay for two more years. My husband works for an NGO that helps with community development, which includes everything from teaching English in an orphanage to digging wells in the countryside! It's exciting work, but this last year of Arabic study has definitely stretched us!

Anyways! That's a little about us. I love your projects! You chose a cool name for your blog. It sounds like we have some similar interests!

 So, I think i have talked about it here, maybe not. I can't remember anymore. I am too lazy to look back and see right now.  I started a while back, hmmmmm maybe a year ago? I felt like i needed to get off my crazy meds.  My dose was low, lower than the "recommended" dosage. I had been on them for years!!!! and i just felt like it was time.  I have a sweet, kind, amazing friend who is going through similar things and we talk about our depression, our kids and our faith. When I told her i wanted off my meds she said, "I know what you mean about having chemicals in your body, like in some ways it might make you feel better, but you don't feel like yourself and then some of the side effects really suck." That made me think. a lot. I had not seen life without the numbing grey of my antidepressants in over a decade. Who was I without the meds? What was life really like? could I handle it? would i literally fall apart?? Could i survive the withdrawal? sigh.

Photo a Day May 2 wow. the hits keep coming. It seems like everyday now I hear of one more friend who is having issues in their life. Some are medical, some are relational, some need a job, some are mental, some are financial. Everywhere I look it seems like people have HUGE mountains to climb.  It makes me want to go to bed and cover my head. It makes me want to go into the woods and pray. That reminds me that God's got this. No matter how bad, how crazy, how out of control this world seems; God is still God.  Author of Everything, and every mystery.... Reveal yourself to me! You calmed the raging Sea and carved the Canyons deep; Now come and live in me! We Stand in Awe!  Creator God! Lord of the Universe,  Sovereign of all the Earth! Worshiping at your feet. Power and Majesty. We stand in awe of who you are Creator God! We bow our hearts before you now Lord Most High! When I don't know why to pray, which is often, I jus

I do have some things to show you though. This is FINALLY the last of the Valentine's Topiaries! This one took forever! You can find the instructions on how to make this here: http://sarastudio.blogspot.com/2008/01/re-purposed-valentines-topiaries.html at this wonderful blog that keeps me inspired. Here they all are together with the last mailbox i made for ME! from my Target stash! Here is the whole fireplace area...i have a little bling on the screen that says "LOVE" from the Target Dollar Spot and two red velvet bows i got from WM after Christmas on Clearance. You will also notice the white plastic cherubs...I told you they would keep showing up! Is there another holiday i can use them for ? hmmmm.... And now for a little game. Can you guess what this is? Here's a hint. I
