Mrs. Librarian -clothespin doll

I have been meaning to post the clothespin doll that I made last month. It actually is my version of a mouse librarian (although my daughters think she looks a little scary)using a kit I purchased from http://Pretty-ditty.blogspot.com . I wanted to create something a little different. I sculpted her using paper mache. She is posing next to our mushroom ceramic planter (there are seeds inside that grow once your break the top). Found it at Walgreens.

Teacher Appreciation Day

Last week we celebrated Teacher Day at my children's school and my daughter and I decorated her teachers door. WE had a fun time glueing a picture of her teacher to the giant poster. All the kids signed the poster and were ecstatic when Mrs. McDevitt opened her door and saw the poster for the first time. She is truly a great teacher. My oldest daughter, who is now in 7th grade, had her in 2nd grade and really enjoyed being in her class. She is one of those sweet teachers with a BIG heart.

Happy May Day!

May is one of those months that so much is going on, I never seem to enjoy it. However, this year I planned a brunch with some of my girl friends and it turned out great. I really liked how the table setting looked and we had such a great time. If it wasn't for those darn kids to pick up after school, we would have probably been chit chatting until wee hours of the night. Who knows, this might be a yearly tradition.
