thanks a latte | diy teacher christmas gift

i must give pinterest the credit for this one. i was browsing through pinterest and found a lot of cute ideas involving a starbucks gift card. i really wanted to do something like this for my daughter's teachers because i know they LOVE coffee. as like most of you money is tight, holidays tend to add up, but i wanted to do something small for madison's teachers because let's face it, they work SO hard! so, i ran into starbucks and grabbed a couple of gift cards, coffee sleeve's, and made a cute little printable. easy as 1, 2, 3. just in time, if you wanna make one for your special teacher or friend--i'm sharing the printable, all you need to do is download the image {i taped the gift card to the cardstock, and then taped that into the coffee sleeve} and they loved it!

a quick letter to santa

today we wrote a quick & easy letter to santa. if any of the rest of you have a five year old, you know their attention span is short so last night i designed up a quick letter for madison to write to santa. it was short and sweet-- and just in time to see santa this week :)  if you want to write one too, i am adding the image that i created to this blog post- in gold letters as madison requested. so, just right click, save, & enjoy!
