So Berry Sweet!

This past week was that of Teacher Appre­ci­a­tion, which is espe­cial­ly mean­ing­ful in our home, as my hus­band is a teacher, as was my dear and late sis­ter-in-law. To express just how spe­cial my daugh­ter’s preschool teach­ers are, as well as rec­og­nize all their ded­i­ca­tion and hard work, we put togeth­er these straw­ber­ry bas­kets to show our grat­i­tude! While perus­ing the inter­net in search for some appro­pri­ate print­a­bles, I came upon an absolute­ly adorable berry bas­ket idea and FREE print­able designs from The Girls at Eighteen25 that read, “I Could­n’t Have PICKED a Bet­ter Teacher”! My daugh­ter’s preschool does­n’t allow treats, even on spe­cial occa­sions, due to pos­si­ble stu­dent aller­gies, but her teach­ers have so kind­ly remind­ed me that THEY don’t have any issues with sweets! So for our bas­kets, I dec­o­rat­ed cup­cakes with fresh­ly picked {fon­dant} straw­ber­ries and flow­ers and added a cou­ple of straw­ber­ry and col­or-coor­di­nat­ing note­books found at Michaels in the $ sec­tion that matched per­fect­ly! They were so incred­i­bly hap­py with their gifts, which were mean­ing­ful and thought­ful, but also did not break the bank!

Although Teacher Appre­ci­a­tion and Moth­er’s Day are over this year, you can car­ry the teacher theme with gifts for the end of the school year {which is fast-approach­ing!}, mis­cel­la­neous cel­e­bra­tions or save the idea for next year! Thank you so much again to The Girls at Eighteen25 for the adorable print­a­bles and inspi­ra­tion! Hope all you mamas had a berry sweet Moth­er’s Day! ♥
