  1. Another Year Has Gone By

    Our laser printer has been muddying everything up, so I had to have my card prints made at Kinkos (errr, FedEx Office). Oh, well — it’s fairly inexpensive, they offer cardstock, and it was super easy to upload and order online. Here’s how it turned out:

    Of course all of this helps distract from the fact that I have a THIRD GRADER now.

  2. Teacher, Teacher

    May 25, 2012 by Jennie

    End-of-year gifts for teachers can be a little tricky, it’s true. Fortunately this year I’ve been richer than usual in the way of ideas coming home, and knew a Starbucks card would be an ideal option. In the interest of not entirely phoning it in, I decided to throw together a little card to go with it. If your school year has yet to end, too, and you need an easy gift idea, you’re free to use it, too:

    Just print on heavy paper, cut carefully to the appropriate dimensions around each panel, and affix the first outside and the second inside a colored blank greeting card. Add coffee gift card, and voila! instant appreciation gift. We’re also including a sleeve of Biscoff cookies for a little extra oomph.
