Free Printable Teacher Survey – Get to Know Your Kids’ Teachers! (she: Liz)

ByLiz

One of my favorite things to do is give gifts. And teacher gifts are no exception. I love showing our appreciation to all those amazing teachers. I think a gift doesn’t have to be extravagant to be special. Simple gifts that are thoughtful or will mean a lot to the recipient are what’s important. Usually I don’t know all the little details of what a teacher does and doesn’t like. I give a gift that I hope they will like. But this year I thought I’d actually find out what my kids’ teachers really like.

Thank You Bookmarks for Teachers – A Free Printable (she: Rachel)

ByRachel D

As a thank you to teachers everywhere, I put together some “pun-y” thank you bookmarks that would be awesome to color in for a Sabbath activity. I think Sunday is the perfect day to help the kids prepare a personalized thank you for the end of the year.

How To Create Meaningful Photo Books (she: Amy)

ByAmy Lee

Last year I gave my dad a photo book for Christmas. This book contains pictures from our annual family summer vacation. And he LOVED it. I mean he literally was over the moon about it. He though it was one of the most meaningful gifts he has ever received.

For me this was a BIG deal, because my dad is hard to shop for. The man has everything he needs and he is really practical. He always tell us not spend money on him with frivolous things. When I saw how much he liked the photobook, I knew I done well 🙂

So for this Father’s Day, perhaps consider helping your kids create meaningful photo books for their dad. There are so many great on-line book making companies out there and they are all so easy to use.

Vintage Ruler Frame Chalkboard Sign Tutorial (she: Lauren)

ByLauren

So, when Mariel told me that the blog hop theme for this month was chalkboard and asked if I wanted to tackle it, I jumped at the chance! I mean, chalkboard and I go together like Jackson Pollock and splatter paint, like Martha Stewart and apple pie, like Marilyn Monroe and subway grates. I’m sort of a chalkboard fanatic. And I had just the idea of what to create!

Here’s the tutorial, so you can play along at home! And I’m going to be sure to tell you what not to do…because this project definitely almost became a craft fail! *Click ‘Full Article’ to read more, discover 9 other fabulous chalkboard craft ideas, and enter this week’s ‘Your Great Idea’ link party!
