And finally...


The last of the books. I had no idea it was going to take me anywhere near as long as it did. I hope the teachers all enjoy these books, filled with notes from their students.

And some more...






Here are more of the books I made. I also made some cute tags for each of the Faculty, and some signs, but I forgot to take pictures of them. Overwhelmed much? Yes, yes I am. But I am glad to help out our teachers, they work so hard and do such an amazing job.

I am in love with my Bind It All. Love. Love. Love.

More of da books.







Here are 5 more of the books for Teacher Appreciation Week.

Phew, that was a lot of cutting. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my Cricut Expression?!

What a day!






Ok, so here are 5 of the books from today. I will post more later if I have the time. I spent the majority of my day at my kids' school, and the highlight for me was watching our great teachers get silly and beat the candy out of a pinata. That was so fun!

As far as I can tell the teachers all liked the books I made for them. I hope they do anyway.

Thanks for looking!

I have a problem....

Well, several actually but that's another blog. Today it's that I seem to be a pro at biting off more than I can chew. It's my gift.

Teacher Appreciation week is coming up and I signed up to be on the committee. So, we are sitting at the meeting, discussing what we are going to do for the teachers, and they start talking about the wonderful things they have done in the past and what ever will we do this year. And I come up with the less than brilliant idea to make each teacher a little book. The students will each get a page to write a nice note to their teacher or draw a picture (for the youngins). Well, they all liked the idea so now I am making 18 of these little books. They are 5.5x5.5". I cut all the pages, the covers, and the chipboard backing with my Cricut Expression. Then I got to use my fabulous new toy, the Bind-It-All to bind them. The paper on this one is from Basic Grey and so is the ribbon.




So wish me luck, and watch for 17 more of these little babies.
