the end of the school year means...

It is time to make those gifts for the teachers again.  I think this is actually my last year of this though.  Jake will be heading off to Middle School next year and with having many teachers, I think we can get away with no gifts then.  Going to pass on Lucas' teachers this year.  It has been such a hard year for him, I don't think he wants to thank any of them.

So tonight, I got a little box made for Jake's teacher.  Actually, it is a sub that he had while his regular teacher was on maternity leave.  We really liked her and her last day is tomorrow.  The box is about 6 inches on each side and about 4 inches tall.  I painted it and added papers, ribbons, folded paper flowers, and silk flowers - held together with brads.  Then I filled the inside with candy.  Just thought I would share - I think it turned out kind of cute.  

Hope you all had a good day today.  It is time to call it for me and head to bed.

Til next time.

 PS - I also thought I would share with you that the tv segment from the Calgary event last month is now posted on www.youtube.com   If you search Laura Nicholas, Camp Croppin it comes up.  So if you would like,  you can check that out...  I actually wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be.  I guess it is because I never really made direct eye contact with the camera...
