q's teacher gift

day 142: thurs 5/24

everyone needs a little magic wand in their pencil holder right?  :o)

was re-fixing her hair & i have one piece braided & when i pulled on the braid to get it out of the bended pony it stuck straight up.  hopp & i were giggling about it & so i snapped a pic so q could see it & giggle with us too.  :o)  we had the best little laugh about her "who" hair.

day 143: fri 5/25  sorry folks... no pic


day 144: sat 5/26

we celebrated memorial day early over at nana's house.  not for sure why i took these pics but hopp was being crazy as usual & wouldn't stay still.  :o)  they had been swimming for about 2hrs & had a blast!



crazy swimming hair...



last day of school teacher gift

tomorrow is q's last day of kindergarten & we were so lucky to have ms. williams as q's first teacher!  she has been so sweet & always replied back to my silly emails.  :o)

so i wanted to surprise her with a gift from q.  i wanted to do the super cute flower pot you see on pinterest that is painted yellow on the rim & painted to look like a ruler & black on the rest of the pot & written on it, "thank you for helping me grow" but i procrastinate, no shocker there.  so i had to think of something.  i wanted to do the cute beach towel with a magazine & sunblock but i know she lives in a small town close to here & they don't have a city pool or any apts that have a pool so i'm not for sure how much water she will be around so i started thinking on what to get her...

then i thought of this...

supplies: plastic 2qt pitcher, crystal light drink mixes, snickers, gum, polish remover & 2 bottles of nail polish

q holding the finished goods complete with a bow.  :)

turned out pretty cute i must say!  i really hope she enjoys the gift & really do appreciate her for all she has done!

366 days of photos week 19

teacher appreciation & some can drop offs

day 125: sun 5/6

not for sure if you can see it or not but q got some catalina salad dressing with her lettuce & her face broke out with these nasty red welts.  i was thinking she was allergic to something in the dressing, she has done this with ranch, honey mustard & sometimes ketchup.  she never had trouble breathing or her throat never felt funny so i wasn't too concerned about it being dangerous.  i did some internets searching & found that this is pretty common with little kids & not to be too worried about.  it is just a skin reaction to the vinegar in these condiments.  i think that if she made more of it in her mouth instead of her face this wouldn't happen.  ;)  so anywho, if you ever see this on your kid, it's probably just a skin sensitivity to vinegar.

day 126: mon 5/7

came to work & ms maria gave me a huge bouquet of the cinco de mayo flowers.  she twisted them all together & they are gorgeous!! 

day 127: tues 5/8

isn't this super cute?!?  it's my cupcake car scent holder from bath & body works.  they have all different shapes & colors.  we have a yellow smiley face with a hot pink bow in the magnum.  they clip on your visor or anywhere else you can stick it.  i got the vanilla coconut & it's ok for the magnum but this one was frosted cupcake & it smells just like a yummy vanilla cupcake was baked in my car.  :)

 day 128: wed 5/9

ladybug!  we got ready for school & headed out the door & a little lady was waiting to greet us!  superstition says that anything a ladybug lands on means you are going to get a new one.  so will i be getting a new car?  doubt it but it's always fun to play.  :o)

day 129: thurs 5/10

took q to look for something for her teacher for teacher appreciation day, actually we were supposed to get something everyday but i didn't like the ideas so i figured she would appreciate a big one time gift more.  we saw these flowers & they were stunning.  it was the most unique shade of grey/mauve i have ever seen.  i couldn't stop looking at them, they were so eye-catching! 

day 130: fri 5/11

i had done my nails on sunday & finally got a decent shade of the color.  it's from zoya & it's called marina.  it's a beautiful grey/blue color.

here is the teacher appreciation gift.  a 12pk of dr pepper in the bottles & a gorgeous necklace a friend made.  remember me telling you her fave color is green & she collects crosses?  how perfect is that?  it's so pretty & between the crosses she put pink & black accent beads & it all just popped!  she actually was wearing it the other day when i went to school with q for field day, that will be a full post on its on soon.  :)

day 131: sat 5/12

time to cash in those cans for q!  this is what my magnum looked like when we left the house.  not our biggest load but man, that's a lot of cans.  i have a great group of friends that help q out!  this load was worth $6!!!  :o)

bud light just came out with these lime-a-ritas & they are delish.  i'm a bud light lime gal, well before i was diagnosed with celiac's, but i'm not a margarita girl.  i perfer sweet over sour...  so anywho, they took that whole corona-rita thing & actually made their own thing.  let me just say, this is DELISH!!!  i know i said that in the first sentence but they really are good.  i took a drink just to try it, i didn't drink the whole thing.  this was a 24oz can but they do come in 12oz cans for those of you that don't want to feel like they look like a bum drinking a tall boy.  :o)

ok, that's all for week 18, more coming soon for last weeks pics....

wip wednesday

i'm baaaaack!  :o)  i have one wip today, i'm working on q's teacher gift.  i gave her a questionnaire to send back to me so i know what to give her for holidays & her birthday.  she is really easy, she likes:

snickers
dr pepper
the color green
she collects crosses

super easy, huh?!?  :o)

so she will be getting a little of everything above for her xmas present from q.  as far as the green goes, i was shocked q actually knew she liked green, i asked her which green was her favorite & she insisted on kelly green, you know st patrick's day green.  :)  i was asking if she was for sure because there was a gorgeous light lime green & she said NO!  it's this color & pointed to the green.  so it's q's fault if she doesn't really like the shade of green i'm working with.  ;)

the one on the top left is fern & top right grass, i prefer the grass but the fern is pretty too but nope, the bottom one is the kelly green i'm working with.  :o)  i like it though just not as much as the other two choices.

so here it is, the wip for the week, ms. williams infinity scarf/cowl.  i figured since she is a kindergarten teacher it would be more appreciated if it didn't slip off her neck.  plus it's going to look gorgeous with a black or white dress/blouse.  crossing my fingers she loves it!

i'm about 3 rows in & should be finished tonight so i can get it ready to give to her, i would rather be way early for stuff like this than to be really behind & do it the night before.  plus i'm hoping to get some pics of it on a model before i give it to her.  it's my own pattern.  :o)  that big white thing is my hook i'm using!  it's a size P!  it reminds me of a tampon, hehehehehe.  i guess they should have made it in a better color.  ;o)

have a great hump/wip day & see you soon.  head over to tami's amis & check out all the other goodies in progress.  :o)
