Teacher Appreciation Week

Is anyone else as excited about Teacher appreciation week??????  I have been planning on it for weeks!  I knew I was a little "different" (sometimes I just like to use quotation marks for the heck of it ok) when I was in the grocery store today and another Mom was looking for teacher appreciation week and she was "Not as excited as me." I have every day of the week planned out and she was just trying to find a piece of chocolate for her kids teachers.....NOT that there is anything wrong with that!  If you know me you know I am easily excited by something like this! So here we go! Here is the line up at my kids school -
Monday - Flowers
Tuesday - Drink
Wednesday - Candy
Thursday - Color
Friday - Handmade Cards

Ok so I can not take credit for the ideas!!!  I found most of them on Pinterest!  But I have recreated them with my own twist.  This first one I made tags that say "Thank you for helping me bloom!!" Love this idea and it cost me a total of $4.00!  I plan on posting every gift this week to share the fun!  So go appreciate those teachers!!!

My Etsy Shop

      So you remember, oh I don't know, a couple of posts back when I said that I was going to have an etsy shop up and going middle of June?  Well lets just say that my eyes were bigger than my stomach!  Ok so starting an etsy shop is suppose to be like some sort of fantasy right?  I mean I thought I would make a couple of things and post it onto etsy and boom done I can quit my day job.........wow that was a bit of a stretch but not by that much.  Starting an etsy shop is so much more time consuming that I thought it would be.  I am learning so much through the process.  I am such an ADD crafter.  When I craft it looks like a Hobby Lobby run by monkeys on crack!  And I am pretty much ALWAYS crafting something sooooo you do the math on the condition of my house at any given moment...yikes.  Anyway it is not going to be the middle of June but it will be as soon as I can figure it all out.   I am currently trying to figure out exactly which products I am going to make, what the cost is, the shipping, how much time it takes to make, etc.  But for now I love stationary so I have been trying out all the styles in my head.  So here are some ones I have come up with lately.
Can anyone guess what the silhouette is on the card above???  








Please tell me what you think!
