Valentine's Gift



I made this for Kaleb's Kindergarten teacher. I am going to put sprinkles, icing, maybe another cookie cutter (that is one hanging off of the top) so she can have a "cookie kit" to decorate Valentine cookies. She has young children so I thought they would think that was fun. Yes, I am one of THOSE cheesy moms. This is an empty quart paint can that can be bought at Home Depot. They are fun to make. I like to do nice stuff for her, she has made Kaleb's year great so far. I was wondering how this year was going to go. His teacher for the first week of school was escorted out for reasons nobody wanted to talk about (I heard rumors of what happened, but since they are just rumors I don't want to mention them here, let's just say no children were in danger or anything like that). The note we got said she was let go for reasons that were beyond the school's control. Nice. Needless to say he was confused about why he had a totally new teacher the second week of school. She made it so that the kids hardly noticed. She is an experienced Kindergarten teacher and knew how to make the transition for the kids run smoothly. We are happy with her and hope we can request her for Alanna next year!

That is so cute! (That is so weird about his first, teacher, though!)

So cute. I'm glad that his new teacher has worked out so well. Thankfully he's young enough and he probably won't remember much about it. By the way, the only reason I'm glad I don't live by you is the fact that I'd always feel inadequate because of your creative talent. I go into an craft store and feel lost and confused. I don't even know where to start.

How long has your family picture been on the side? I just noticed it. You forgot to get older. What a great looking family.
