Water Party

For the Twins end of the year party at Seeds of Faith they had a water party and picnic. They had so much fun! I thought it was a great idea. They had a baby pool set up along with a couple of water tables, a sprinkler, water balloons, etc... The kids had a blast. Once they got worn out and hungry we had a pizza picnic which was a perfect ending to such a wonderful year. Of course I had to do end of the year gifts for the kiddos and I decided what better for a water party then sand buckets with Popsicles with a cute little tag that said "Stay Cool this Summer!" All the kids LOVED them. I decorated them with vinyl cut out on my Oh So WONDERFUL Silhouette! The Twins had a great year a Seeds of Faith and we will sure miss it next year when we are in BIG Pre-K!

Home Away From Home - My Classroom!

This is definitely my home away from home since I spend the majority of the day here. We were taking pictures of our classrooms for something at work so I thought I would post a couple here! It is fun to look back and see how things have changed and evolved over time. My classroom is definitely ever changing with all the new expectations, theories, and trainings that we go through each year and I thought it would be neat to look back on. I cut out the majority of the the things that you see on my Silhouette! I still LOVE that thing!

You are "Berry" Sweet!

Happy Valentine's! Finally...Here are Blakely's valentine's that she will be giving to her classmate tomorrow at their valentine's day party. She is so excited about them. She sat beside me the entire time I made them. She is definitely going to be my little crafting buddy! Anyway - I made these with my Silhouette (Have I told you how much I LOVE it!). The tag says - You are "Berry" Sweet! Happy Valentine's Day! Love, Blakely Lester and inside they have a strawberry fruit by the foot. I hope the kiddos like them. They are just soooo cute!

Drew's Valentines

Drew's Valentine's for his classmates!

This is for the boys...

Zooming by to wish you a...

Happy Valentines - Love Drew!

This is for the girls...

Of course - all pink and girly! He knows how his sister likes it!

Every girl likes a new hairbow!

Happy Valentine's! This is what Drew is going to give his classmates for Valentine's. We decided to give something other than candy since they get a lot of it. He knew from having a sister in the house that hairbows for the girls would be perfect and what little boy doesn't like a new car - so that is exactly what we did. I hope they like it. We are not quite done with Blakely's Valentine's but we will post as soon as we are.

My New Favorite!

My new favorite is my Silhouette SD machine that I got for Christmas (Thanks Mom & Dad!). You are probably asking - What is a Silhouette? Well, it is basically like a Circuit but I think MUCH better! It is an electronic cutting tool that connects to your computer allowing you to cut fonts and images in cardstock, vinyl, heat transfer material, etc… It is great! The main thing I like about it is that you don’t have to buy cartridges like you do with other cutting systems on the market. It will cut any font you have on your computer for FREE! It will also cut images you create for FREE and it came with like 60 preloaded images for FREE! You can download additional fonts, images, etc… for about $.50 - $1.99! Once you download it is yours – again as you can see I think it’s GREAT! So far I have only cut out a few things – a bunch of letters for things in my classroom and I have started on Valentine’s for the kiddos class. I will post as soon as I get them done!
