Artwork & A Teacher Gift

Sweet little Carter is an artist.

He is constantly drawing, coloring, cutting, gluing, creating.

Ms. Levy is his teacher.

I love that her loves her.

He told me that his teacher taught him how to make a butterfly.

Yes, she did!

Sometimes he makes a little something for me.

Priceless.

Carter's portrait of an airplane.

Love it, although it kind of looks like the guy in the back has a gun in his hand.

He assured me he was just knocking on the bathroom door.

Thank goodness.

I've begun framing his artwork.

He loves it.

Cheap $5.00 matted frames from Walmart made him so happy.

That makes me happy.

I did the same with my other budding artist's work.

I love his creativity!

Preston's gallery.

His frames came from IKEA.

They're so proud of their work, and so am I!

On another note, the boys' teacher gifts have been bought.

I was going to make something for them,

but I found these chalkboard signs at Frisco Mercantile...shocker...and knew they were perfect.

I changed out the bow they came with,

wrote "Merry Christmas" on them with a chalkboard marker

and had the boys write their names on the back.

When I was a teacher, I loved when students did that for me.

That way I could remember who the gift came from years later.

The gingerbread man has a magnet on the back,

so you can remove it and replace with one fitting the occasion.

A cake for a birthday, a pumpkin for Halloween, a firecracker for the 4th of July.

Super cute.

I hope they like them!

Happy Thursday, friends!
