And so the summer begins…
May 27th, 2010

A first grader is officially in the house! We made it through kindergarten. After her graduation we put her to bed crying because she wanted to stay in Kindergarten and be with her teacher. I don’t know if she fully realizes that she won’t go to school all summer and when she goes back she’ll have a new teacher and classroom. Hopefully we will be able to gear her up for first grade and she will be as excited to start as she was for Kindergarten.

Over the last week or so we’ve been getting all our end of the year gifts in order which took a lot longer than expected and tried to work them all in between deadlines. Here’s just a few things we did to complete the school year:

Last lunch box note:

Gifts to ALL of her teachers (we past out 18 I think):

And then we made a Junk A Doodle® for her teacher for the end of the year gift:

We have a lot of fun summer things planned like teaching the the Woog to sew, tie-dye, etc. and we’re bringing Woogie Wednesdays back in full force so be on the lookout for that. For me, I’ll be using my summertime to work on a few projects that have been on my list to start and complete for some time now. They’re going to be good, I promise :)

    Hi, Holli!

    I don’t know if you remember me, but I knew you back in the day of the yellow board! HI! I’m SOOOO impressed with your work (always have been a fan!) I saw some work that reminded me of yours on some Evan Moor books–was wondering if it was yours.

    So glad to see you’re doing well!!! Take care!

    xo,
