Relay for Life

It is time again for the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. I have met so many great people through this event. It is a 24 hour event since cancer never sleeps. We are all there to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. One of my favorite parts of this event is the Luminaria Ceremony at sunset. These luminaries were for my Great Grandmother Mamie and my Great Aunt Kay.

End of the School Year

One of my son's school assignments was to make four thank you cards for his teachers for this year. He helped me do the stamping and also glueing the pieces together. These teachers are really great and we wanted to make them special cards.

Another fun project I did for the graduating preschoolers was a flower pot for the Teachers. One of the mothers found this great idea on Pinterest. Here is the original idea.

I smudged a little white on the black part to make it look like chalk and I cut a tag out with the Cricut and added lines to make it look like notebook paper. I had the students write their names on a piece of paper and I wrote them on the pots with paint marker in their handwriting. The A+ is painted with a glossy red acrylic. I had so much fun with these. This is how they turned out.
