Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is going well. Our evening has been long...sitting in the ER waiting for Jordyn to be seen. She took a little spill and fell on our piano bench and split the back of her head open. She ended up with 7 stitches and according to Jordyn, "I didn't cry at all Mommy!" She's a tough cookie I'll give her that. Anyhoo, it was not bad at all, just the long waiting time. You mommies that have been in the ER know what I'm talking about. LOL.
So here's a card from All That Scraps that I overlooked and did not post. The set is called CC Designs Sugarplums Apple Emma. The sentiment is from CC Designs Presents Amy R Stamp Autumn Sentiments.
With school just starting I thought it would be nice to share a card you could give to your children's teachers or even your professors. Teachers are the motivational cheerleaders and resources for our future. They are, as we speak, molding our future presidents, physicians, lawyers, and entorpeneuars. Their pay gets cut on an annual basis. Their classroom budget slowly dwindles yearly. They are largely underpaid and, at times, under appreciated. Some little things we can do as parents to encourage and boost their morale: writing them short notes of appreciation, give them a cute card, and the cutest is when children actually bring an apple for the teacher. It is the small gestures that can have a big impact on that teachers day. So the morale of the story? Give a small gesture of thanks to one of your teachers, in return they will shape and encourage the minds of your child and OUR future.
Copics used...
Supplies: Basic Grey (Oh Boy), White CS, Purple Bazzill, Purple Ribbon, Nestibilities, Oval Punch, Mini Library Clips SU.
What an adorable card for your child's teacher. She will really appreciate it, I. And as for the ER, I have 2 boys, so I've been there so many times I should have my own mug waiting for me with hot coffee in it... Glad all is over with, and all is well.

Sooo sorry for the accident good thing Jordy is a tough cookie! I'm sure Momma was more anxious like I was when my daughter took a spill. Waiting in the ER is time waster but sometimes being a nurse helps. I love the way you color with the copics you encouraged me to try the copics for the first time and I wouldn't use any other marker from now on. As for teachers, you are right they are under paid and overworked. My daughter, the one who took had stiches to her head...she's now a teacher and I see how hard she works! Any encouragement would lift their spirits giving teachers good reason to keep on teaching lovingly. Thanks for the reminder. Take it easy...mahalo.

Your use of Copics is AMAZING!
How scary for you, Jenn! Like Jordyn, Kalino had a bad fall earlier this year. 5 stitches on the forehead. We were in the ER for 5 hours. Thankfully, it's been our only trip with him.
You're right about teachers. They have the hardest job. I help out at school several hours a week, so I see how much patience they need to have.
Mahalo!

Glad to hear that Jordyn is OK. What a beautiful card, your right, teachers do need to be recognized more often. Thanks for the inspiration.

Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life. Do you think so?
