Thanks, Smiles, & Fabric

Today is the last day of school. Somehow this school year has flown by....and it has been a great one! We were blessed with amazing teachers for both Henry and Grant this year, and I just couldn't finish out the year without showing them our appreciation one more time.
I sent these really cute canvas bags for each of their teachers filled with a few happies and a gift card to Target:) The bags are monogrammed with an iron on initial that I cut out with my Cricut. Then I added a little tie to the handle for a little extra flair!
 Yesterday Eli and I went to eat lunch with our Kindergartner and 1st grader for the last time this year. It was kind of sad, but the boys are already saying they will be a 1st grader and a 2nd grader after today:) I think Eli is most excited because he will finally have someone to play with during the day!
 I've been working hard to finish up a few projects around the house before summer break starts. This bolt of fabric has been measured and cut and my re-upholstery project is about halfway finished...now I have less than 2 hours to get done before the madness begins:) Hopefully I can share the finished product with you one day next week...that is if we aren't already spending our days at the pool by then!
We have a birthday party on Saturday and a little trip planned for Sunday, but inbetween I hope to work on some new summer door decorations! Have a great one....and spend a little time working on a fun craft this weekend:)

  7. What a cute teacher gift!

    I love your blog! I've spent so much time sifting through it and bookmarking different crafts you've done. I especially love your teacher gifts. I'm room mom for my daughter's 1st grade class and you've given me so many great ideas!

  9. Love this! I have that same fabric from Hobby Lobby that you used on the bag. :) Do you do anything special to your fabric to cut it with your Cricut? I'm borrowing a friend's Cricut and wanted to try my hand at cutting fabric...but didn't want to harm the Cricut!

    Visiting from Tatertots & Jello :)
