Yes this is an advertisement for no other than
ME (but there is more...refer to title)
BUT I just can't help it...
I LOVE this... even if I did make it and I am selling it
(don't hate me)
at first I was gonna make a few for free
BUT then 8 o'clock (PM) turned into 3 o'clock (AM)
holy shnikeys (sh-nike-s)
and well 31 pages later and add a day for staging and picture taking and
WELL YES I am going to sell it and plug it...
I LOVE IT!!!!
if you know me...
you know I LOVE giving little treats here and there to my kiddos and their parents
AND fellow teachers...
and well that idea
sparked THIS
****squirrel****
( start the dramatic award music)
I wanted to thank all my friends that helped me make what this is today... I appreciated you taking the time to look over my rough draft and giving me wonderful critiques... love ya
NOTE - I always send my rough drafts out for people to critique and look over... IMO it is a good way to get a few extra eyes on it
*****squirrel has left the building*****
back to the TAGS
here is a pic of just a few of them....
my absolutely adorable always willing to help
or else hubs
went on a grocery run with bub to grab these things (below)
and with some tape and some ribbon
WHA LA
you have SUPER ADORABLE WHO WOULDN'T WANT THESE appreciation gifts
here are some more pics....
don't you just love the staging... burlap (not ironed...hubs drew the line) on a dinner tray up against my
chippy shabby chic holds all my crafts stuff cabinet
had a fear it looked dirty and wanted to change locations of the shoot...
hubs drew another line.. he usually doesn't draw lines so
I knew he was serious... NO really he just said to do this...
"IT IS CHIPPY NOT DIRTY... it is character NOT dirt"
thanks hubs... they get it
anywho here are more pics
be sure to admire the cuteness
and here is another example...
all you have to do is get some popcorn and tape
print out and cut out and
UBER CUTENESS and all of a sudden you are the best teacher ever
EVA...
no really it does help bridge the gap (Reagan's direct quote from her critique) between you and your parents
letting them know you appreciate them
NOTE- if you look on the bottom of the TAG page... I give you ideas of what you can attach the TAGS to... (((SMILE)))
I like this one...
REFRESHING....
now don't go and think you have to give a little treat to ALL of your parents
sometimes I gave one to ALL
BUT most of the time I gave them to parents that went that EXTRA mile (that TAG is in the pack)
it really does let them know you appreciate them...
I tried to hand them out at pick up time or pull the kiddo aside and stuff it in their bag
and tell them
MAKE SURE YOUR MOM GETS THIS
anywho let's be FO REALZ...
you don't give a bone to a bad dog
well maybe sometimes you do...
to win them over... ok bad example BUT maybe a good one too
TRY AGAIN
not everyone gets a gold star
my point is (do I really have a point)
is.... sometimes all get one...BUT most of the time it is just a few special ones
those that are refreshing get more :)
and if you just can't wait to get your hands on this pack...
just click on the image below...
I showed you about 10 TAGS
there are 25 different TAGS in the pack
that is enough to get you through the whole year
you can use this pack over and over.. year after year
*****squirrel*****
I am linking up with....
I don't sew... so I can talk about ...make it....bake it... and grow it....
here we go...
MAKE IT
here is something else I have been working on...
my FAB VOCAB needs a makeover and so I made this...
 |
| chippy not dirty |
*****squirrel*****
BAKE IT
and she wants us to share a recipe...
WELL look what's a cookin
if you had smell a blog... you could smell the greatness of this
it is in my crockpot right NOW..
(ok maybe not right now if you are reading this tomorrow or later BUT ya get it right??)
SUPER EASY EVEN FARLEY CAN DO IT... recipe
 |
| you can use less water... but hubs turns the liquid into gravy dip stuff... so we use 2 cups just FYI |
***** squirrel*****
this squirrel is all over the place... CRAY CRAY
GROW IT
anyways another thing I can share is what I am growing or a growing trick...
well here is what is growing in my back yard
don't let it fool ya...
this is a container pond... made from a horse trough...
I LOVE IT..
anyways it doesn't require much...
I have had it for over 5 years and now it is established... the lilies come back every year... the gold fish and koi eat all the mosquito larva and whatever else... so I don't have to feed them... it is its own little habitat... self efficient....
and the lily blooms usually only last a day
so consider yourself lucky that I saw it
grabbed my camera
took a pic
and uploaded it for you to see too...
you are welcome
and now for my growing trick...
straight from Gpa's mouth....
if you don't want the critters to mess with your tomato plants... hang RED Christmas Ball Ornaments on them
before the REAL ones grow... the critters will try to get the ball ornaments and that way the critters think the real ones are FAKE too...
I love Gpa's advice...
well maybe not all of his advice...
measure it once
and measure it again... because once you cut it there is no going back...
and might I add my Gpa cut his thumb off one time... using a SAW...OUCH
not really the whole thumb BUT ENOUGH of the thumb you can tell he CUT IT OFF...
so he might want to add
measure it once and measure it again and get your fingers out of the way... because once you cut it off there is no GROWING back....
I LOVE MY GPA
see...
and not to mention Gpa and Gma are super cool too :)
OK that is about it... I am SUPER STOKED about my TAG pack...
I mean really excited...
