Finally a new post!
I just want to apologize for not keeping up with the blog this school year. It's been a rough year. I was diagnosed with Leukemia in April 2012 and have been fighting for my life ever since. I am happy to report that I had a successful Bone Marrow Transplant September 18th. I am still in the hospital, but feeling much better. I am taking this year off to heal, but I promise to continue to find exciting and useful resources. Thanks for checking out my blog.

Pencils, M&M's, and a Candy Bar
A few ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week.
1. Wrapped Pencils
Take a few pencils and colored string. I macrame-d friendship bracelet string around each pencil and wrapped them in raffia to complete the look.
2. Wrapped Hershey Bar
Using a simple glue stick, I covered the candy bar with decorative paper. Then I printed out a new label on to loose-leaf paper and wrapped the bar. Super Simple.
3. M&M's in a Mason Jar
I filled a mason jar with M&M's and attached this cute poem.

Green Pudding
Dr. Seuss Idea!
(**And the best pudding discovery EVER!!)
I found it for under a $1.00 at Walmart.
Each box makes 4 servings and require 2 cups of cold milk.
The vanilla pudding turns bright green right before your eyes...when you add milk! So cool!
For individual servings made as an edible art project...
Prep:
Place a sandwich (zipper) baggie into a cup (for stability).
Measure out 1/2 cup of milk in advance (I had them ready to in small cups).
Pour out the Jello Pudding powder in a large bowl.
Directions:
**Get a baggie in a cup.
**Scoop in 5 heaping TEASPOONS into the baggie. (It takes 5.25 teaspoons, but does not need to be exact..5 heaping worked great!)
**Pour in the 1/2 cup of milk
Have an adult zip the bag close.
Kids...massage the bag to mix the ingredients for 5 MINUTES.
After 5 minutes, cut a small piece of the corner off...and eat the Oobleck Who Pudding right out of the baggie. (Easy clean up!)
This would also be a great project for St. Patrick's Day!
