Teacher Appreciation Part II

Good morning all!  We had quite the active afternoon/evening yesterday.  I got a call from Abie's school, you know the one we all dread, that she had fallen off the equipment, aptly named The Green Monster, and couldn't move her arm.  I took her to the ER and our worst fears were confirmed, she had broken her arm.  It's broken about an inch below her shoulder on her right arm.  She was quite the trooper in the ER, not complaining, really hanging in there until the Tylenol kicked in.  Because of where it's broken, they won't cast it, she'll just be in a splint.  We have an appointment today with the Ortho doctor so we'll know more.  Mike said, "we had a pretty good run.  Nine years without a broken bone!"  :)

For today, I wanted to share the gift tag I made for Abie's teacher.  I stamped onto the yellow wood grain patterned paper from Basic Grey's Life of the Party.  Loving how happy this yellow paper is!




I had Abie sign her name to the tag before she gave it to the teacher, just to finish it off.  The yellow really stood out against the Kraft wrapping paper!

Hope you all have a great Wednesday and thanks for stopping by today!

  4. Ah, poor kid! I am happy to report that I never did break a limb...but my brother was in the ER with a broken body part at least once a year. Hope it's the only one she gets! Cute tag. I'm going to admit that I bought several sheets of that paper just to have the woodgrain in colors on the reverse side. :) Love the doily too.
