Seriously, this comes together SO quick!Graham crackers, Hershey chocolate bars, and marshmallows! I used the cute flat marshmallows that are specifically for s'mores. (found them at WalMart)
Here is the darling saying that ties the whole gift together:An apple isn't good enoughfor a teacher as sweet as you,'cause you make learning so much funwith exciting things to do!
So this s'more is just to thank youin a sweet and sincere way,for all you do to help me learns'more and s'more each day!
Isn't that the cutest?!My aunt said she loved receiving a thoughtful gift that wasn't something she had to keep hold of.There's only so many ceramic apples that fit on your desk, right?! LOL!
Here is the digital card I made using this s'more kit by Whimsy Primsy.It's on sale for only $2!We printed it as a 4x6 photo and then attached to my son's hand-written note with an eyelet & ribbon.
This is a "sweet" gift to give to show your appreciation to those wonderful teachers!Give as is, or stuff a gift card in the bag too!
Cut out 3 squares (mine are 5") of 2 fabrics, and 1 double-sided fusing material.
Iron them all together to make one square.
Fold your pinwheel:)
Sew the center points.
I found a cute white t-shirt that I know is one of my daughter's favorite and it fits her well.
Then simply sew a button in the center of the pinwheel, through the shirt, to affix the pinwheel in place.
I used minimal stitching through the buttonholes, so as not to ruin the integrity of the shirt.
Go ahead and save the pinwheel for next year's festive shirt!

In case you haven't picked up on my subtle clues yet, I don't really like change. OK, I actually hate it. A lot. In fact, sometimes when I see change rolling my way, I swerve my wheelchair in the other direction as if I'm trying to escape the big ball -- Indiana Jones style. 
Here's a question for you, friends: How busy are you? I know that might sound like a strange question, but that's the topic making the blog rounds lately. To tackle this issue, the Atlantic Monthly asked in its recent cover story: Can women have it all?
Just like those busy-bodies Kreider describes, so many of my mom's commitments, activities and general woman-about-town nature is self-imposed. Activities and other obligations she's taken on voluntarily. And here's the kicker, says Kreider...
Are you enjoying the Fourth of July, friends? I'm playing hooky this afternoon and going to see The Amazing Spider-Man. Have you seen it? 
And Emma Stone as a leading lady? Perfect. I've loved her since her Superbad days with her razor-sharp wit and her sassy sense of fearlessness. Isn't it wonderful to have someone like her as the voice of a new generation? Bravo, Emma! You get an easy A for awesome in my book! xoxo
Today's giveaway is from California-based jewelry designer Tina Tarnoff, who creates hauntingly beautiful pieces using prints of papercut images, which are then set under a clear cabochon dome. "I draw and hand cut each image from a single sheet of paper, then display it on beautiful, handmade Indian cotton rag paper. I sign and date each piece, then mount it on a sturdy 11x14 black mat," she says. Her Etsy shop contains everything from jewelry sets to cards to her specialty, original papercut art. How awesome is this bracelet?
