EOY Art Project

I have one post that is pinned the most...
it is the same one that has the comments and gets me the most email questions...
and that is just fine with me....
BECAUSE
it just so happens to be my favorite thing I have ever done with my kiddos....


AND I got to do it again...
and this year we got it done just in time for Mother's Day!!!
so if you want to see the first and original post about this project...
and with better directions than this one *wink*
head to (click on it if ya want)

BUT before ya leave me here... 
take a looky lou at what we did this year!!!
one thing to mention is we had to use smaller canvases 
but the art is still as special and magical as last time...
I JUST LOVE THESE and I hope you do too!!!












this project always brings SMILES 
to all!!!
 it really does allow the kids to SHINE!!!
no matter how smart or challenged the child is... 
these always come out so SPECIAL!!!

toodles to you

you're the balm, you're TEA-rific, and orange you glad

Last night I posted a pic of my Bub's teacher appreciation gift labels...
I posted them on Instagram... no worries if you don;t follow me...
which you should...
hello my instagram is where it is at...
follow me @farleyfarleyfarley
... and just in case you did miss it...I have that pic here for you...


alright...
I got lots of compliments and is it in your store questions...
and 
so I thought I would add these to a FB freebie for my fans...
BUT honestly I am not that techy savvy and this is easier...
so here is what you can get...
for free from me...
just click on the pic to download your labels...
it won't have the LOGO in the middle I promise...



tomorrow... his main teachers will get these....
 I added a little box of Burt's Bees Lip Balm to this card...
super simple and SUPER EASY!!!


this one is my FAVE...
he handed these out today :)
I wrapped a Snapple Tea with this label...
he has 2 main teachers and 3 specials teachers... 
they are all TEA-rific
this is a super EASY one because you can get a 6-pack of Snapple
easy easy and super cheesy
but a special little treat too :)

Bub's school is over on the 22nd
so his 2 main teachers are getting baskets full of orange things...


I was super picky and only got orange flavored or orange scented schtuff!!! 
orange fanta
orange gum
orange curly straw
orange slice gummies
orange jello
an orange candle
and oranges

I think it turned out super cute and technically it is not a basket but a storage container...
every teacher can use a storage container... 
and this one has a dry erase label thingy on the side...
in orange...

alrighty I hope these labels and ideas help you thank a teacher
TOODLES


oh and thanks to Melonheadz and Hello Fonts and The Lower Elementary Cottage for helping me make these uber cute!!!

So most are self explanatory...
LISTENING... I record the TODAY SHOW every morning and watch it when I get home...
I have to be at work at 7 so I don't get a chance to watch it in the morning!!! In the morning, I watch the local news as I get ready!

LOVING... it has taken me almost 40 years to love myself... I may not be where I want to be BUT I am not where I was.

THINKING... I love this quote... and it is kinda my mantra lately... I think of it when I don't want to work out, or pack up my classroom, or do laundry.

WANTING... this has to do with my previous post... I am gradually... just a tad little bitty bit... moving into my new room... my goal is to be completely in my new room after Memorial Day.... fingers crossed

NEEDING... I have my very first 5K... a couple of us from school and MY MOM are going to do a 5K this Saturday... AHHHH this SATURDAY... my knee has been hurting just a little so I am taking a break tonight and tomorrow... I will post pics of my 5K adventure on my instagram account... come follow me @farleyfarleyfarley

SURPRISE... I love doing a RAK... soooo to reveal the new way to sponsor a currently... I went to April's CURRENTLY and picked #33... that is my favorite number!!! and.... Southern Fried Teachin was #33 and so I am showcasing her blog as the sponsor for May's Currently... YAY ... I hope it brings her lots of traffic :)

If you are interested in sponsoring a currently...

and you can't pick your month...sorry...
the first person to sign up gets June... second gets July... and so on
