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!

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 did it. Showed the web page to the hub and he said, "how can you NOT do this? It's writing, and photography and scrappin' all things you love! Sign up and merry Christmas!" so i did! I will be officially taking the Journal your Christmas online class starting Dec 1st. This is my very first online class ever! I have to say i am excited. I have already started getting emails since i signed up last night welcoming me and letting me know how things are going to happen. There is a forum if participants want to join in on the group atmosphere of that. I got a file on how to prepare for the class today, and we all know i am an over achiever so i will certainly want to be ready on Dec. 1 st for the BIG first day of class! I am so excited, my scrapbooking and memory preserving has fallen way behind lately and i do love Christmas, so i am hoping this will be just the kick start I need to get those creative juices flowing again! Wish me luck! always cyndi

Well, my DD has been home sick from school for two days but seems to be on the mend. Hopefully she will go tomorrow. Needless to say i have not done much creatively in the past couple of days. 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

ok, now for the bday hoopla details...here is the pin the nose on the clown game that we made thanks to my friend who was able to print this out for us.... here's the bean bag toss we made...isn't it cute? my DD kept insisting that the clown's face shouldn't be white...but she finally conceded! Here are my clown cupcakes. They didn't turn out quite as good as i expected, but hey..i get credit for trying to pipe little frosting clown bodies don't i? The pennant banner i sewed...i was super happy about the way this turned out..It makes me happy, i wish i could leave it up always! Here is the "spread"...cupcakes, ice cream, mini corn dogs, peanuts and popcorn! Remember that bandanna i showed you a few days ago...well here are the pants that i turned them into. I think they are sooo cute. I tried to stamp the clown from her invitation on her shirt..but even though i tried to heat set the SU! craft ink...it came out when i washed it. BOO! Here's
