Congrats Grad...

It's DT day over at 

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

I've got a few former students that are graduating from middle school this year. So I made this card for them =D 

I love how easy it is to use Lisa's Center Panel Step Card Cutting File. All the pieces are so easily laid out and NO measuring needed!

Thank You...

Hi there!

It's my DT day over at  

Twineology.

     As many of you know, I'm a middle school teacher. And today I made a thank you card for a parent volunteer who has graciously decided to clean our staff room. 

     I absolutely LOVE my colleagues but I've gotta say... some of them are disgusting!!! We've got 3 microwaves, 2 refrigerators, and a toaster oven that have all seen better days. This parent is a saint for offering to clean out. I made this card and one of our administrators is getting her a gift to go with it. We are ever so grateful to this parent =D
