Thank You Note – Teacher Appreciation Class Picture

Our preschool teachers loved this thank you card! It’s hard to get everyone in the same picture during the hectic time right before class starts, so we did the next best thing! Individual pictures that spelled out “Thank You” The kids were only 2 so it was a little crazy, but it didn’t matter that some weren’t holding the letters. It made it even cuter and captured the personality of the class!

Things that made this a great Teacher’s Appreciation gift – it’s personalized and not a crazy Pinterest project they won’t use. We also gave the teachers a gift card.

Guest Post: Mother’s Day Gifts for Your “Mom of the Year”

Mother'€™s Day Gifts for Your Mom of the Year @getSNAZZYWhen it is time for Mother’s Day, we all want to get that perfect gift for our mothers, aunts, and grandmothers. We want them to know just how special they are and we want to give them something they will appreciate and know you put thought into the purchase. Something that is great to do is get personalized gifts to show you thought ahead and didn’t just pick up a bouquet of flowers on the way home.

First, you need to get the perfect Mother’s Day card. Instead of getting a standard card from the store, consider making customized Mother’s Day cards for the moms in your life. Shutterfly offers great options to create your own Mother’s Day cards with personal photos. It will be a nice surprise to receive a card with photos of special family members!

To show your love for your mom, The Suzy Shop on Etsy creates unique, signed “3D heart art” that can be customized with special messages right in the piece. You can customize up to four hearts in either red or white with your personal message. This is a great way to have a unique, one of a kind, piece of art made just for the person you love.

Something truly unique is having a Loveprint made for your mom. A Loveprint is a unique process that uses a wax impression of a child’s fingerprint to create a unique piece of jewelry. The Loveprint can be put on a necklace, bracelet, keychain, or ring for that special woman in your life. This is definitely a gift a mom will cherish. As we all know, even as we age, our moms always think of us as their little one. For more details visit Loveprint online.

Finally, an iPhone case is something everyone could use. What makes an iPhone case special is when you can get a case customized for your mom. You can get the personalized iPhone case you want from Shutterfly with photos, names, initials, or “Mom.”

Free Printable Valentine Cards for Kids {Just Add Sunglasses}

I made these fun Valentine’s Day cards for my daughter’s preschool class. They get enough candy, so I wanted to do something candy free! Last year we made heart crayons.

Just add sunglasses to this FREE printable!

You Brighten My Day! Will you be my Valentine?

Free Valentine Card Printable for Kids - Sunglasses Valentine You Brighten My Day - getSNAZZY

DIY Instructions
1. Buy Sunglasses -  Ours are from Party City. Amazon has a Mega Pack if you need more!

2. Print PDF file.  You probably already have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer.

Click here or on the image to open the printable. Then, once opened, either click on the printer button within Acrobat to print the page, or go to the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Print’ or ‘Save As’ and then ‘Print.’ Page 1 of the files has a line for “To: _________ Page 2 is just like the picture above.”

3. Assemble. Punch holes to stick the arms of the sunglasses through. I used a hole punch to make 2 holes (one on top of the other) to stick the arms through the cardstock. Print a practice one so you can get the positioning right for the glasses. I measured 2 cm in from each edge and 4 cm down from the top and punched the holes.

A new favorite: The Small Things Blog

Have you met Kate from The Small Things Blog?

I found her blog last week and love it. She seems so classy and real.  Her style is simple, totally doable and cute! Her hair tutorials are awesome.

I love finding new outfit inspiration and easy to follow tutorials so my hair isn’t always in a ponytail! Check out this tutorial “not just a ponytail” – still a ponytail, but cuter – baby steps for me :)

Check out her 30 in 30 outfits challenge too. http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com

Here’s my version of “not just a ponytail” with straight hair. My hubby immediately noticed that my hair wasn’t just in a plain ponytail – success. Thanks Kate. p.s. My clear elastics are from The Dollar Tree – 500 for $1! I’ll tuck my bobby pin better next time!
