Teacher Appreciation Week Gift Idea

May 4th - May 8th is Teacher Appreciation Week. Here is a little gift idea I made for one of my brothers teacher. Who wouldn't want a funky name art plaque? I surely would, but I made one for myself!
They are really simple to make. Buy any unfinished wooden plaque. Paint with color of choice. Cut 2.5 in paper circles. (Circle size will vary depending on name)
After paint dries, decoupage circles.
Paint the name on and embellish! Be creative! Have fun! I think this plaque came out cute. Hope the teacher likes it!

Now if you dont feel like making one then buy one made! I will have them on sale all next week for only $15 + shipping! Its worth it! Let me know if you would like one. I can make them any colors any name! Send me an email if interested!

What other teacher appreciation gift ideas do you have? Please share! Thanks!

Thank you!

First of all, thank you for your prayers, kind messages and email's.
We were at the hospital all day yesterday. We spent a lot of time with Valerie, even though she slept the whole day. She wasn't doing so good. They needed to first control her blood sugar. We talked to the nurse before coming home and told us she was doing much better. It was very difficult being there. Again thank you for your prayers!

Last Friday was our 1st year anniversary. Time goes by so fast! One year since our wedding! Wow! I have loved every second of our marriage!
Friday I had a craft show at a school carnival close to our house. It was fun! I had the chance to meet great people. Everyone had nice comments to say about my creations! It really does feel great when people comment on items you create. It made me feel good! I sold a couple of items and had 2 custom orders. Not bad for a first timer!

Here is a picture we took with my table. Everything looked so cute!

My in-laws invited us to eat for our anniversary. I love them! Here is a picture I took on our way to the restaurant. I want to show off my beautiful clip hair I did! Isn't it cute?

Friday my husband came home with these beautiful roses, the most wonderful card and a gift card! I cried! I love him so much! They look so much like my hair clip!

Also, I wanted to show you my newest creations. This is my newest one! I love how it turned out! I bought a circle cutter at a yard sale for $1. I decided to try it yesterday. I went crazy cutting circles! I wasn't going to throw my paper circles away so I created this funky name art with them. I had bought this wooden plaque a while back, so I had everything I needed at home. What do you think? funky huh!

This was a custom order from Texas! Its a picture frame jewelry holder! I love how it turned out. You can never go wrong with turquoise and brown! Just beautiful! Customer loved it!

I created this to show at my craft show. This is a monogram hair bow holder. Its nice, simple and so cute!

Hope you like my creations. Thanks for visiting! Come back soon!

Modern Wall Art

Who doesn't like a pink elephant? Look how cute this wall art turned out! I had a custom order yesterday for 2 wooden pegs. With one of the pegs, she asked for a white star with a fuschia pink elephant. I had never painted a pink elephant before. I absolutely love how it turned out! I am not done with the pegs yet, but created this beautiful wall art. So clean and pretty! I will have to make a couple to hang in my craft room!

Custom Order

Look how cute this turned out! It was a custom order from Kim. I think it turned out great! I had this same frame but with a green apple color listed. Kim wanted more a sage color and pink. Its for one of her co-workers. I hope she likes it!
