Thank You- Wonderful Teachers!

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just think the world of the wonderful teachers that my children have been blessed to have this year. Each has had an enormous amount of love and patience for my children and as a mom I certainly can't thank them enough. With just a few days left of school ( my oldest graduating... kindergarten)  I am sending the kids off today with an end of the year gift for each of their teachers. I knew this was the gift for sometime now, since it was something that I bought myself a while back and get complements each time I have it on my shoulder.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukq4ns-1-pazyvlR-GIG3JMafbmki924_OJUxByg92q4mAGfOcjRkqhdf695dlFMMgssxnoYUbZrm5TVXzSRkdlHV9XV8UP2jBMijyMOsenubQyD1-DFZRKyIxPudIeGTBqAe63iwXyOs/s1600/IMG_4718.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukq4ns-1-pazyvlR-GIG3JMafbmki924_OJUxByg92q4mAGfOcjRkqhdf695dlFMMgssxnoYUbZrm5TVXzSRkdlHV9XV8UP2jBMijyMOsenubQyD1-DFZRKyIxPudIeGTBqAe63iwXyOs/s640/IMG_4718.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought the teachers might look alittle more stylish bringing this bag to school instead of their big ole Canvas Tote.

Check out what I got for Christmas!

<span style="font-size: large;">For several months now I have been dreaming about a necklace that I wanted. It all started when someone was giving a shout out to  Lisa Leonard Designs. So I went to her <a href="http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/">web site</a> and fell in love with her stuff. So I thought, what  better time then Christmas to get her petite original necklace with my kids names on it. If you sign up for her newsletter you will receive 15% off your order. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">This is a necklace that I love not only because it makes me feel close to my kids when were not together, but also looks great too! Make sure you put this on your wish list.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIyExLn0v6WnlsdoFgXviA8Wd9zqhwbbztAMJbSc0Y6PdweUX5IZTMRutEO_42qQmWEdqqd37LDp7huIJWFyibs7MFAnXY6Rasn72NiaLpgIlxG8O9UaJopa-SemvEGTmcb_tjgvF3BRC/s1600/IMG_7369.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIyExLn0v6WnlsdoFgXviA8Wd9zqhwbbztAMJbSc0Y6PdweUX5IZTMRutEO_42qQmWEdqqd37LDp7huIJWFyibs7MFAnXY6Rasn72NiaLpgIlxG8O9UaJopa-SemvEGTmcb_tjgvF3BRC/s640/IMG_7369.JPG" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
