End of Year Teacher Gift

Every year I scratch my head trying to decied what to do to say thank your to  great teachers.  This year I did something maybe a little cheesy but hopefully useful and healthy.  As you can see my card said "You sure can PRODUCE great strudents".  Then I bought a plastic chip bowl for $1 and then filled it with fresh fruit and veggies.  Mini watermellon or cantalope, bag of baby carrots, bananas, cucumber, lemmon, limes, apples and bell peppers.  Hopefully they can take that home and get so good use out of it.

Birthday Gift Ideas

My very sweet neighbor had a birthday today so I wrapped up a loaf of bread and some eggs placed on a nest of floral moss.  She seemed to like it and hopefully something that will be used and not add to clutter.

This one may seem a bit odd but this weekend was my husbands 34th birthday and since my daughter will not eat cake we decided on rice crispy treats, but a birthday cake must be something right?  So I just molded and cut it into the shape of his favorite sport.  Hope you can tell what that is.

Apron Giveaway

This is one of my most favorite and used items in my entire home.

Years ago my mother-in-law made me one and I wear it every day, I carry the phone in one pocket, a dish towel in the other and any thing I take away from the kids goes into those large pockets. What I love most though is there are no ties.  The back just crosses over it's self.  It also fits all the time, no matter if you are 9 month pregnant or really skinny, it washes easily and never needs to be ironed. So now that I have told you why I love it I would like to pass it along someone else.  If you want a chance to have your name drawn out next Tuesday the 22nd of Feb all you need to do is look through this blog and make a comment about any post you like.  Thanks

Gift Idea

 On my previous post about trarts there was a chocolate word on top.  I have seen these on a lot of other blogs so I tried them out.  Quite easy although I did do it twice first with Ziploc bag second with piping bag.  I liked the second result a lot more.  Since it took me two tries I had quite a lot of left over words and no tarts soooo I just wrapped them up on plates with a note to give ideas of things they could go on top of and to keep refrigerated and there you go some quick, inexpensive gifts for some friends and neighbors.  Since I was doing this for a family party I wrote out all of the kids names, which they all thought was special.  The possibilities are endless for this, my mind is racing with birthday cake ideas.
