{Chalk} Up Another One!

It's Teacher Appreciation Week...and I've had these little tin buckets and garden stakes for awhile knowing that Alex and Emily would give them to their teachers this week.  So Emily picked out the flowers and we planted them and thought they were ready to go...
...but they looked a little boring...

...so, of course Kelli always has the best ideas!  {Check out her creativity here!  And stop by Mimi's too...I love her fun little flower pots too!}  I went down to the basement and grabbed my chalkboard paint {I love this stuff!} and scraped some more out of the bottom and embellished them a little bit more...

{...and, of course, the Cricut helped a little too!} 

Let's hope the teachers can keep the flowers alive better than I can...they were already looking a little sad!  I also have a gift card and other little goodies to add...just in case their thumb isn't so green either!  So...here we are...the last day of the week {I always wait until the last minute!}...but we truly appreciate our teachers, they do an amazing job!  Seriously...just volunteering once a week can be overwhelming! 

Be sure to thank your teachers this week...they deserve it!
