Hello!!
Happy Cinco de Mayo and also Happy National Teacher's Day!
My co-worker asked me to make her a last minute gift for her son's teacher. Yes, last minute as in I got the request around 7pm yesterday and I was still at work! Eek! So of course I had to think of something. I had envisioned something simple, but thought it would be fun to go a little bit more. After a few hours of procrastination I finally had an idea and started to work on it. This is the end result...
It all started with an oldie from TGF, a large clothes pin, some doilies and a white pen. Of course there was a banner involved and some black cardstock to make a nice chalkboard sign. All the sentiments and words were handwritten and I'm so proud I did not sacrifice any more paper than what you see here. YAY!
This is the back of the project. Used a larger doily and a black scalloped circle for my blackboard. I found this quote on the web. Google to the rescue. I even tried to handwrite it just like the banner. Added another banner with a different word and a shiny red apple.
How about a side view since you can't really tell what it is straight on or from behind? Yep a humongous red clothes pin that I picked up at Michael's possibly in February. I finally dusted it off and made something with it. Woo Hoo!! Now Pasha's teacher can easily put a picture or a card in the slot at the top.
Thought this tag would make a fun addition to the project and Oliver was the perfect "Pasha" in my opinion. I found that tag in my desk drawer, talk about SCORE!! I changed out the sentiment and wrote Special Delivery. All done!
What it would look like if a picture or in this case the tag would look like inside the top slot. Yay! Ok, if I sound a bit loopy it's because I'm literally running on a few hours of sleep. I'll sign off now, but first I'd like to share this funny teacher quote I was considering on using instead of the one I ended up with.

"Teachers: without them, we wouldn't know how to read, write or CORRECT everyone else's grammar."This is soooo Pasha!! hehehe.. Well that's all for today, thanks to you for stopping by. I really appreciate the time you take to share your thoughts. I really look forward to them. Have a great Cinco de Mayo.... boy I really need a siesta!! =D
