A gift for teachers


Ok, while I am sharing. These are cans that I made (with Peter's help) for the boys' teachers. The monkey can is for Peter's teacher and the butterfly and flowers can is for Benjamin's teacher. Peter was telling me that his teacher loves monkeys, so we decided to make a gift for them. I know that teachers get so much stuff at christmas and at the end of the year, so we decided to give them a gift just because. We filled the can with a bag of smarties. Yes, the teachers loved their gifts!!

The tshirts


Here is a picture of my sweet Peter. This was the most crafty part of Outdoor Awareness Day. I'm really not a out in the woods kind of gal. So I was stationed at the table that made fossils. The kids took a cup, filled it part way with dirt, then took a shell (covered in vaseline) and a leaf, then we poured plaster on top. The next day they discovered the fossil they had made.

The kids loved the day of outdoor learning. I was truly impressed with the day. I think traditional learning is great, but alternative learning is so much fun and just as important.


The kids seemed to like the tshirts. They had their classmates sign the backs of the shirts. It was a very fun day!!

Been a little busy

Ok, so I've been a little busy. I didn't realize that I hadn't posted in over a month. I still have many TopLine Creations (now Breezy Design) products available and on sale. If you want something, please let me know.

How do you like the page header? I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I have been doing a little more digital scrapbook pages. I like doing them, but it almost takes longer to create. Plus it is a little bummer that I then have to upload the pages and get them printed. I love the look, but I am still so much in love with paper!!! It is nice to mix them up a bit in the books.

I just finished designing the t shirts for my son's fifth grade field trip. I am really happy with how they turned out. Some day I'll post a picture of the shirts. I need to get better about taking pictures of things I want to post.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. We will be at Fallfest and Mass most of the weekend. It should be fun if it doesn't rain.

Hugs to all! Monica
