4th of July

I saw a version of this at my favorite blog. Eighteen25. The ladies of this blog host the last craft show I do every year.  They are so cool. I wish I was related or at least on their super cool friends list.  

I just couldn't give a plain pop or give it in the packaged bag, so we choose made a bag tag and put a few in the bag and took them to some of our favorite people.  The kids each choose some and went knocking with these cute bags.  We still have a few to deliver. It was super fun. A little odd treat, maybe, I had been thinking of earlier in the day what to do and had thought of giving watermelons, that could have been odder.

 I couldn't decide if we liked the circle or squares best so we did some of each.

I like each of the designs for different reasons.  Can you tell there are ring pops in there. Clarissa is in summer school and I was trying to figure out what she was going to take to school on her last day (Thursday) and to the Summer school staff. This is it.  Hope they enjoy! Hope you enjoy this little treat in the lovely land of the free, May FREEDOM always ring on this great nation!

Happy 4th of July!

Teacher Appreciaton, Apple marshmallows suckers

Marshmallow Apple Sucker

As a teacher myself (A  middle school teacher, the ones who never get appreciated but lots of attitude! Just sayin) I like to make sure my kids take something for all their teachers, PE, Music, Library, Art,  you get the picture.  So small things like this are perfect.

 Supplies:

Giant Roast Marshmallows

red chocolates

stick pretzels

Corn Skewers or Popsicle sticks.

baggies, ribbon, stickers

1.  Melt your chocolate in a double boiler
2. dip stick in choc and push about half way in marshmallow, put it in fridge to set.
3. Once it has set, dip whole marshmallow in choc.
4. Break pretzel in half, place in top of dipped marshmallow.
5. place in fridge to set
6. Place in baggies, and embellish, :) I put an address label that said "You are the "apple" of my eye! Thanks for being such a great teacher.

They would look great in a flower pot, jar or cute bucket, but since I' m the last minute crafter no time for that! Take the idea (link back to me) and run with it!
