Teacher Appreciation

All three of my kids are in school this year (yay!), and I really liked all their teachers!!  I actually missed teacher appreciation week, but I still wanted to make something for the kids' teachers before the school year was over. So I decided it would be a fun project for the kids to paint picture frames. It took me awhile, but I finally made my way to the craft store to get the supplies. 

These cute frames were on clearance at Michael's for $2.99


I got these letters for each of the teacher's last names


And I got these wood shapes for only $0.29 each




Each of the kids picked out their own colors and wood shape they wanted on their frame and the painting began!
It took a couple days to do both coats because apparently I didn't buy enough paint brushes so we had to keep rinsing them out and letting them dry in between coats. 

After they were all painted the kids told me where to glue their letters and wood shapes on. I glued them on with good ol' Elmer's wood glue.



Finally I sprayed them with a sealer and they were done!

C's - We added felt flowers to this one.

T's - The bird is pecking the ground.

And finally K's



The kids had fun and I think they turned out cute!

new products in our etsy shop


in the last few weeks we have done an overhaul on our lil shop and updated it. including adding new products that we are super excited about. a few months ago anona and i decided that we should try something new in our shop. so as previously blogged about we went out and purchased some amazing fabrics...

our goal was to have a common theme running through all of our products...all the fabrics could work together! we loved it and ran with it. we also wanted to make products from adults to babies. last week we released our 2013 line and are so excited about it. we have hair bows and bow ties to burp cloths and onesies.

i hope you will go and check our our updated shop pinkgingerdesign.etsy.com


 
hope you enjoyed your weekend!

lemonade anyone?

so the other day I was paroozing (is that even a word? who knows?) the web and found these awesome lemonade labels.



are they not so cute?! I can not wait for summer to get here and use these as labels on some lemonade jugs. there is nothing better than hanging by the pool with a frosty glass of lemonade...yummy.



summer please get here faster.....
