Other teacher gift

Here is the gift I made for Ryan's preschool teacher. I didn't have any other composition notebooks to alter, so I decided to make her a set of cards instead. I know teachers can never have enough thank you cards!

I left them blank with no sentiment so she can use them just for notes and birthday cards as well.

I used scrap strips of DP (retired SU) and randomly placed them...yes, some of them are supposed to be crooked. I added some ric rac ribbon and a scalloped border (SU punch) and called it a day!

I placed the set in one of the PTI clear boxes and added some ribbon (from Taylored Expressions).

Here's another view...

I made her a similar card like Ansley's teacher but with a red base...

She was very happy to receive them!

So far they are doing well in school. Although we are having bus issues with Ansley!! This is her first time riding the bus. So everything is new to her...new school...new neighborhood...new friends....new procedure to get picked up from school, etc!! Therefore, she forgot her bus number today so she missed the afterschool bus!!!

Imagine how freaked out I was when she didn't get off the bus!!!

I walked to the bus stop with Ryan and our dog Princess. So when she wasn't there, I knew I had to get to the school asap. A neighbor drove us home so we didn't have to walk. We hopped right in our car and headed to school. On the way, I managed to get in touch with the school to confirm that she was still there. We get to school, hop out (with the dog...who is freaking out by now because I was freaking out) when...someone yelled at me for having the dog!!! Are you kidding?! It's 100 degrees....I am NOT leaving my dog in the car....AND "YOU" (the school) failed to send my daughter home!!! Who cares about the freakin' dog!!!

Anyway, I picked her up...I mean she's only 5 pounds (smaller than your normal sized cat)!!

We got Ansley safely home...but I was still a wreck! THEN she accidentally broke a glass vase!! So I started cleaning it up and ended up sweeping the whole house! Afterward, my back was killing me!!! I must have pulled my back from fantically running around trying to get Ansley (I remember twisting a little when I tried to get Ryan out of the car...with the adrenaline rushing...I may not have noticed it until later).

Needless to say, a few advils, a glass of wine (or two)...I was pooped and glad when the day was over!!!

I did manage to make a card in the morning before the bus incident! I will post that later!

In the mean time....thanks for stoping by! Happy Stamping!
