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!

Letter M

I am bling-blinging my craft room! ha.. ( i love to make up words). I still need more decoration on the walls!
You can see the beautiful brown I painted the room. I painted this paper mache letter "M" brown and pink, of course! I love the way it turned out! I gave it several coats of paints so it has this really cool look! Kind of distressed, blurry and beautiful!

I forgot to tell you! My wonderful husband bought me a camera this weekend! Its a great camera! So today, I was testing the camera and took these great photos of my letter M. I love sepia and black & white! Did they come out great or what? I might even make a print out of one of these to frame!
