I made baskets for the teachers for teacher appreciation week. this is a bad picture but.... it was kind of tricky finding all the candy bars, but finally ended up having the best luck at Boyds on the West Side and gas stations.
Throughout the school year you have been a LIFESAVER
and that's nothing to SNICKER about,
you've had to deal with TWIX from students acting like 3MUSKETEERS
but you have always RIESEN to the occasion.
Although there were many days you thought you'd lost your SKITTLES
or felt like an AIRHEAD with all you had to do
and the accidents caused by BUTTERFINGERS
I'm sure were GOOD N PLENTY
so while the PAYDAYS are probably not 100GRAND
it is time for you to TAKE 5 and rest your WATCHAMACALLIT
thank you for all you do and whether you go
across the country or into ORBIT
we hope you summer is EXTRA special.

Happy May Day!!!!!!! This is somewhat of a lost holiday.... I remember making May baskets for my class in school and especially for my grandpas and grandmas, setting the basket on the steps, ringing the doorbell and running around the house and they would come chase us and kiss us. Not sure if that is really what you are supposed to do or just something my mom thought up, but it was fun! I made the strawberry baskets for the kids' teachers and the other little baskets for their class. Haley was quite a help and did all of the stamping and punching of circles and scallops for the fronts. She loves being able to help with projects. Hayden did all of the pulling of the lever for the sizzix to emboss the strawberries. Have a great weekend!

About Me

I have 4 kids (17,16,8, and 6) I work at home doing medical transcription and love being at home (most of the time). Life is very chaotic at my house and my little kids (and big kids) keep me on my toes!!!!! I enjoy scrapbooking as a stress reliever and it gives me "ME TIME" which some days is much needed. I have been married for 7.5 years to a wonderful guy who supports my scrapbooking addiction! (He doesn't have much choice as I support his hunting addiction!)
