A round of Applause-Teacher Appreciation door

I made this "A round of Applause for Mrs. ____" teacher appreciation door for our wonderful 2 month substitute. My daughters' teacher had a baby. The bottom hands say High Five and Thank you on them. I used the school die cuts. The hands were a large die cut and worked well in a rounded fan look.

I was featured on Tip JUNKIE for my Teacher Appreciation door!

Teacher Appreciation- Decorating the door!

Teacher Appreciation falls in May every year. My daughter's 1st grade teacher is having a baby very very soon so we did her door early. Here's the door I created last week. I was thinking spring!The background of grassy hills, sun and sky!Thank you Mrs. ____ for helping us bloom and soar! The boys pictures are in the kites and the girls in the flowers. They are photo stickers left over from school pictures in the fall. I did this door 100% free using the paper, glue, pictures, and die cuts from the school. It was fun to create.

Hand Sanitizer Bottles-Great teacher & new mommy gift idea

I am SOOO making these spiced up hand sanitizer bottles this year. I saw this version on Money Wise Moms

It takes 10 minutes & it cost about $1.00!

Here's what you need:

• Hand Sanitizer (you can get them for a $1.00 at the Dollar Tree. Find one that the label peels off easily!)
• Stickers and scrapbook paper (Use up your stash!)
• Scrap of ribbon (Again, use up what you have on hand)

Total out of pocket: $1.00

Great for all teachers, Sunday school teachers, secretaries, principals, mail carriers, day care providers, mommy friends with a newborn baby, and church workers. Have fun and let the kids help you!
