Caught Being Kind

I created this for an incentive reward this year.  If me or my TA catches a child being kind out of the blue, they receive a baseball in the mitt.  At the end of the month, the child with the most baseball's gets our Kindness Award for the month! The kids love it!!!

Nuts About Working With You

I know I haven't posted in a while.  I have been super busy with creations with my students.  I thought I'd better catch up.  :o)  Here is something little I made for my assistant to thank for all her hard work for the month of September.  I plan on creating something for her each month with some of her favorite things.  Enjoy!

Sports Theme Classroom

I have been pretty busy the past 6 weeks working on our upcoming classroom theme.  It turned out terrific! I'm so excited to share it with everyone.  I still have several photo's to take.  Time has just flown by this summer! Enjoy and happy crafting!

Sympathy

Just thought I'd share my latest sympathy card.  I made these for my mom's Easter Star chapter.  I used metallic paper.  LOVE the way it came out.

Congraduations!

I wanted to do something that Brady would always remember for his graduation.  Something that he could always look back on and chuckle about.  And here is what I came up with:

It only took me 3 1/2 hours to roll up all the dollar bills but it was worth it! I had to roll them up as tight as I could and then I tied each one of them with curling ribbon in his school colors.  In order to find out how many dollar bills were enclosed, he had a diploma like letter to read and the contents of it said:

Brady, we are so very proud of
