teacher appreciation week

it's teacher appreciation week here and boy have we been busy!

i wanted to have a little something for the teachers for each day this week,

so i raided the aisles at the dollar store and got busy craftin'!

thought i'd share my pics.

we started out the week with this little cutie.  

a great idea from my swwweeet and very creative big sis.

thanks dina!!!

and last but certainly not least.....

 caramel apple cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream icing

to die for!

all tied up with some baker's twine and a cute fork.

i hope my kids teachers love all these gifts as much as we love and appreciate them.

they do so much all year long, and i'm glad i get the chance to thank them.

enjoy!
