Teacher Appreciation...

The school year is winding up, and you have a few teachers in your families lives that have helped your child (or you!) learn and grow this year. So.... take the time to thank those special teachers-really show them that what they are doing really matters!

We have a variety of gift ideas available for purchase right on our website. But I wanted to highlight them here on the blog, to give you a better idea of what they can be used for.




Our first gift idea is more of a "do-it-yourself" kind of project. Here is our Teacher bucket. How cute is that? I really love the quote we added to the bucket. Here's how its done:
-bucket (you can purchase from Target, or Walmart, usually in their craft section or with their seasonal items).
-flowers
-vinyl

Its so simple, its crazy. Add vinyl to bucket. Put flowers in bucket, and WALL-AH! Your gift is ready. Its cute, AND its something they can use for years to come! Once the flowers are done, they can keep pens, pencils, etc. I'm sure a teacher has many uses for a cute little bucket in their class.




Our second gift idea are these really cute 6" Teacher Tiles. As you can see, there are a lot of different ways to design the same quote. Choose the design that you prefer, and we do the work for you! Its the perfect size to sit on a desk, or even put on a shelf at home.
















We changed up a classic product- our Stack Set- and made it a fun way to brighten up any desk or classroom! The best part is you can customize the paint color, vinyl color, and even change the words to fit your style. That is what sets our business apart from the rest. What teacher wouldn't love a personalized gift as a thank you for all their hard work.

















Last, but definitely not least, is our most popular teacher's gift. Our Magnet board is so multi-functional. Use it as a message center, or a picture frame to interchange class pictures from year to year. The best part is, this would function well on a teacher's desk or at home!






















We hope you take the time in the next few weeks to thank a teacher for all the hard work they put into their jobs. We'd sure love to help you do that! My kids have been blessed with amazing teachers each year in school and I'm excited to be able to thank them for all the help they've been in my children's education. I know I have teacher's that have made lasting impressions on me and my life that I will never forget!

Its PARTY time!

We are excited to say that since our website has been up, we have kept busy enough so far in 2009, that we haven't had a single home party yet!! Good news! But, we've missed getting out and visiting with our customers and meeting new customers!
In our last month's newsletter, we offered an amazing deal to the first three people who responded to our email- ready to schedule a party. Well, we had two people respond immediately and have one party scheduled this month and one for June. Still have one spot open for someone who wants to receive AMAZING hostess benefits. Should I recap? Yes, I must. When you host a party, you get to choose one free product of your choice (up to $30 value) and you get a percentage off of your total order depending on your party sales., up to a maximum discount of 50%.

The next person to contact me to schedule a party sometime THIS YEAR (no pressure!) will receive: two free products of your choice (up to $60 total value), in addition to the percentage off your total order. Isn't THAT amazing!
What? You haven't heard about this before? Well, you must not be signed up to receive our eL newsletter. Drop us an email or a comment on the blog (we won't publish the comment with your email address on it, don't worry!) with your name and email address and we'll sign you up for our monthly newsletters. We always offer coupons, or some sort of discount. We also feature new products and special deals to our customers through our newsletters.

Back to the Party topic- we do have a party coming up this month, actually in just a few weeks. One of my favorite people in the world- Debbie- is hosting a party for us, out in Lincoln on Thursday May 28th at 7pm. So, if you want to see what fun, new products we have, or just come by to say hi, let me know, I'll be happy to email you privately with the address and information.
