Starbucks Teacher Gift

Tomorrow is the Cutie Patootie's last day of Kindergarten!!  I can't seem to wrap my head around it.  This year has flown by!!  C has learned SO much, and she is SO excited to be a big time first grader next year.

C loved her teacher this year, so for a last day teacher gift she is bringing her a Starbucks gift card wrapped in this creative way:

I love this FREE printable by alphamom.  Just print, hand write your teacher's name and check the order boxes with a permanent marker,  and wrap around the smallest size Starbucks cup.  (starbucks will happily give you an empty cup when purchasing your gift card.)

I did add a bright red ribbon to the cup to give it a fun pop of color.

ColorSnap

What will they think of next!?

Check out this app from Sherwin Williams, ColorSnap. It takes your own personal inspirational photos and matches a Sherwin Williams paint color(s) to it.  This is too much. LOVE.IT.

I am a complete color nut, I love all things color;  paint colors, textiles, color in nature, etc. I love them all!  So, when I discovered this app I was very excited.  Often times, friends and family will ask me design advice, in particular paint colors.  I can't tell you how many times I find myself describing colors to them in crazy ways. I typically will say things to them like: "Oh you know, a golden yellow more like honey, not quite butter, but not as light as popcorn" ...like I said, I am a nut.

This app makes me super happy!  Check it out!

First Day of School Freebie

OK, so reality is still slowly sinking in that my tiny little infant will be skipping off the Kindergarten in T minus 4 days. I have, up to this point, remained eerily calm..... That is until now, I am officially freaking out!  I know that she will be fine... C is extremely confident, outgoing, friendly, adventurous, etc.  I am freaking out more on the selfish end of things.  It seems like yesterday that we brought her home in our arms from the hospital, swaddled in a soft pink blanket.  Everything was so new then, that "new" feeling of concern, fear, excitement, and happiness all rolled in to one.  That new feeling has crept up on us again.  I guess it just goes to show you that being a parent is full of new experiences no matter how experienced you are.


Here is a great FREE printable from I Heart Naptime for the first day of school
