New Blog Design and Parent Gifts — 8 MORE DAYS!!!!!

May 28, 2013

I’m so beyond thrilled with my new blog design…isn’t it DARLING?!?!  Seriously it was just what I imagined and even better!  Honey Bunch Blog Designs did a fantastic job and not to name drop but….they also did Deanna Jump’s blog — Hello! :o)

But seriously they work so closely with you to get it just right and incorporated my sweet heart with a cross that is a symbol my mom put on our notes, cards, letters etc. so it means the world to me.  Those of you who know Nikki at Melonheadz can tell I’m sure that she created that beauty!  Make sure to visit Erika, Misty and Nikki if you are in need of a blog redesign.




 


How cute is this too – they showcase each new blog they design and add a little blerb ( is that a word?!? ) about you…love that extra added touch. <3


 


I have eight days left so I’m wrapping things up…report cards are done and I’m working on my parent gifts.  Of course it was a pinterest find…a cute holder for note pads.  I will add the matching note pads tomorrow to go right on top of the white background.  How sweet are these?  I don’t know if  it’s a blessing or a curse that I only had to make 2.  I could’ve used more help this year…however – this sure beats the year I had to make 14 parent helper gifts. LOL

 

{It’s hard to tell but the one on the left has a matching letter for her first name on it under the raffia }  Also I have some scrapbook modge podged clothespins at school that DON’T match these but they sure would be cute if you got them to match rather than just the plain ones.

What do you do for your parent helpers and kids for that matter…that is next on my list…student gifts.  Happy {ALMOST} summer y’all! xoxox

Tell me what you think of my blog too. :o)

    Hi Vicky, Your blog design is so pretty! I especially love the heart & cross symbol your mom always used, what a beautiful & meaningful addition. HBBD did my blog design too, they are great!!

    Hi Vicky,

    I love your blog design! Very cute 🙂 The colours work really well together. I am so impressed with your parent gifts too… we just have a morning tea for our helpers, though now I'm feeling inspired to try something a little more crafty this year!

    Your blog is adorable and so happy looking! Parent gifts take lots of time but are so appreciated. Put a picture of their student inside with the date and they will LOVE you forever!

    It is BEAUTIFUL! We love the chevron stripes on the sides. And the lil tribute to your mom is precious and just the right touch. She is just beaming, we're sure! It's like new house paint without the headache and smell!!! Looks absolutely fresh and fabulous!

    Parent gifts are amazing and awesome as well! It's just a little something to show your appreciation and so perfect! Happy (almost) Summer friend!
