Superhero Teacher Gift

As I said before, I finished my student teaching at the beginning of April.  It was honestly the best experience I have ever had.  My kids were incredible, the other teachers and staff were funny, helpful, and awesome, and my teacher--I can't say enough.  She was fabulous, more helpful, sweet, and perfect than I could have asked for.  She became like a second mother to me; I mean, we did spend at least 6hrs a day 5 days a week together for 3 months!  Needless to say, I had to get her a gift that would show how much I appreciated her.  I really struggled with what to get her until I found this pin on one of my boards.  Disclaimer: I tried to follow the link to see if it could be purchased somewhere, and I couldn't find anything.

Found a blank canvas I had in my stash, bought some paints and went to work (:

She loved it.  And that's all that matters to me (:

Ruffled Streamers and Choosing Joy

Littlest sister turned 16 in October.  Luckily it was over my fall break, so I got to be home for almost a week.  Of course we had a little party for her, and I made some ruffled streamers for decoration (inspiration from MADE). 

Her current favorite colors are orange and purple, and she's the tomboy of the family, so I picked green as a third color.  

And for her present, I painted her a canvas.

Luckily the canvas came in a pack of two...I want one for myself now (:
