More Fun Than A Barrel of Monkeys

Yesterday I posted a fun Back to School Teacher Treat

But what did I make for Tyler and Gracie to give to their teachers 

on the first day of school??

I found these banana shaped marshmallow treats at the dollar store

and wanted to make up some fun treats for the kids teachers as well

as some Craft Sale items

The tags on these say:

"First (Fifth for Tyler) Grade is going to be more fun than Barrel of Monkeys"

For the ones I made for the Craft Sales I put a variety of Monkey jokes

These are two of my favorites...

What do you call a Monkey 

in a garden?

A Plant Manager!!

..................................... 

What do you call

a Monkey in a tree?

A Branch Manager!!

Wouldn't those be fun to give to your boss at work? 

By The Way... The teachers LOVED their gifts from Tyler and Gracie

For The Teacher

Today the kids will all be going back to school and the Fall Season has 

officially begun with Craft Sales and Fall Programs at Church.

Where has the Summer gone??

This is a project that I made (inspired by Penny Smiley in Australia)
to sell at the Craft Sales this Fall using 

some retired Designer Paper called BERRY BLOSSOMS.

So, do you like GRANNY SMITH APPLES?

or do you prefer RED DELICIOUS??

When I was making the 3x3 note cards up I ended up with one extra one
BUMMER!
Oh well, I gave it to Kimberly and when she came over for a play day with
her mom, Rachel, went to work on my challenge for her.  She loved
it that she had full access to all my stamps and supplies.
This is what Kimberly came up with for her 3x3...
She used the Stamp Set SCENTSATIONAL SEASON and the
matching FRAMELITS.  Did you know you can save 15% by buying them as a bundle??
Check it out - it's in the new Holiday Catalog!!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Last week was National Teacher Appreciation Week and at our grand children's elementary school they were suggesting for each student to bring a candy bar, etc and then write a note to correspond with that particular candy.  

For example: Smarties could be...Thank you for making me smart(ies).

These are the cards that I made using Lynn Pratt's free appl

e pattern.

Since Gracie is in kindergarten she attends Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday so she brought her treat on Wednesday.  Julie chose Tic Tac and wrote "Thanks for making each day an enjoy-"mint"

Tyler brought his treats in on Friday.  For those I made extended length candy wrappers using the Candy Wrapper Die #120890 $32.95 Click HERE to view a video tutorial on You Tube.  

Julie picked out Take 5 candy bars. In the card they wrote 

"Take 5, you deserve a break.  Summer is almost here. 

Thank you for everything you have done this year.

 

I love having little projects like this to stretch my imagination.

I'm sure the teachers loved them!

Have a Blessed Day!!
