Every awesome teacher deserves a gift!!
My girls both did a camp through the park district, this year, called Super Tots. They LOVED it! And let's be honest-- so did I. They went to Super Tots two times a week, for 2.5 hours each day. It was perfect to get Noelle ready for preschool, and Riley loved making new friends and "doing fun stuff." Brooks and I enjoyed some one-on-one time and some much-easier-than-usual errand running. :) The camp was eight weeks long, so by the end of it, I thought the teachers deserved some appreciation. Being a former teacher, I want to shower praise when I can. Plus, look how much my girls love these ladies!!
One of the camp days, Brooks and I ran out, found some super cute teal mugs, picked up some letter stencils ($2.99 for all 26 letters at Joann's!) and a silver paint marker. I taped/held the stencil to the mug and tried to ombre-dot them. Quick, easy and cute!
Then I filled them with some chocolate and Starbucks refresher packs! Ta-da!
Sorry for the subpar pictures. I broke my camera (sigh). And then I forgot to snap shots(except for the one I took to show my husband-- with all our glamorous kitchen counter glory in the background) until we were in the car, in the parking lot of the community center. Teehee. :)
P.S. It's a little hard to see, but the shirts the girls got were, literally, 4-5 sizes too big! So I chopped them and re-sewed. I love how they turned out. Plus, then my girls didn't have to fear being taken flying by a gust of wind in their t-shirt sails! :)

I love comments more than I love buying new fabric, and that's saying something. :)
