I have been wondering what to get J’s teachers for their end of year gifts, then I remembered I could make Thank You Cards, something teachers use all the time. So I teamed up with A Crafty Mom, who offered a great Valentine’s Card Making Class that I had to miss out on.
If you would like to join us the details are as follows:
Make-a-Stack Class
Friday, June 11th 7:00pm – 9:30pm
Join me as A Crafty Mom and I host a stamping class where you will make five or ten beautiful and unique cards, absolutely perfect for end-of-year Teacher’s gifts.
COST: $20 for a pack of 5 cards
$35 for a pack of 10 cards
(covers the class, the cost of materials, and one white envelope per card)
This class will be simple enough for the new or basic stamper, with a few challenges thrown in for more advanced crafters. You will leave with a pack of 5 or 10 cards with greetings of your choice (choose from Thank You, Birthday, and Thinking of You). A pack of five hand-made cards makes an extra special gift for an elementary or preschool teacher. Or use the cards yourself to express that special sentiment to someone you care about.
Please RSVP to me or A Crafty Mom by Monday, June 7th, as spaces are limited. For more information, leave a comment and I will e-mail you directly.
There are two things I love about Summer. Ok, more than two. So, there are two things that make it feel like Summer even when Summer is officially a month away. Setting up the pool and a heat wave.
The key is to keep both the heat and the pool functioning for the next three months and I am a happy camper. If the heat wave breaks and we get rain for two months like last year, I may head South. I can’t do two wet summers in a row. So for now we are enjoying everything there is to enjoy about hot stiffling heat, swimming in the pool, sitting outside, cooking outside, playing outside. Basically not being in the house. We love it, our grass not so much, but it will come back…
When I was contacted by Mom Central to participate in the Lay’s Chip Trips blog tour, I was more than happy to jump in on the action. Lay’s has been a family favorite for both Hubby and I since we were kids. As much as we would love to say that we only eat vegetables for a snack, the truth is we don’t. We love chips. Chips are a weekend treat in our house and a BBQ just isn’t a BBQ without a bag of Lay’s as a side dish to your burger. Hubby even puts in his special ‘Salt and Vinegar with homemade dip’ order when we head over to his Mom’s and she always has it ready for him.
Lay’s Chip Trips is program where you can earn points from your bags of chips and use them towards discounts for food, lodging, car rentals, museums and many other tourist attractions all across Canada. Whether you are staying home for the summer or you are planning a weekend away in Toronto or a week away in Nova Scotia you can use your Lay’s Chip Trips to save money.
How does Lay’s Chip Trips work?
- Simply pick up a specially marked bag of Lay’s Chips. Each bag is worth between 3‐15 points depending on the bag size. The most popular bag size is worth 10 points.
- Of note, the two new flavours, BBQ RIB and CHEDDAR AND SOUR CREAM are worth double points!
- Visit Lays.ca to create an account and then enter the unique code that you’ll find on the back of the bag. You can enter as many codes as you want and start to bank your points.
- Use your points to claim great discounts on fun things to do with your family and friends all summer long.
As a reader of my blog you can use this unique code BEACH-MAMA1 when you register on the site before May 31st, 2010 – be sure to enter the code and bank the points when you sign up so you can start adding up points right away. 10 points will allow you to start getting discounts immediately.
I look forward to sharing our adventures this summer using our Lay’s Chip Trips. I have already cashed in a few points to get us started.
Disclosure I am participating in the Lay’s Chip Trips program by Mom Central on behalf of Frito Lay. I received Lay’s Chip Trip points and a gift card to offset my trip costs to facilitate this post. The opinions on this blog are my own.
