A Teaching Treat

Good morning, everyone! Happy Tuesday!

I had the day off from work yesterday, so I decided to take the day off from blogging as well. It was a slow weekend and I didn’t cram in as many fun things as I had planned. But I did work on one little creative project for my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law, Angie, got a job teaching in a school here in Dublin a few weeks ago. She started last week and so far I think she’s loving it! But the one problem she’s having is her kids (7 and 8 year olds) are having a hard time remembering her name. There aren’t too many Westbrooks’ around these parts. In fact, I think we might be the only family in this whole country called Westbrooks, but I wouldn’t want to put money on it.

So yesterday, I whipped out a piece of drift wood from my (ever growing) stash and got out my paints and paintbrushes.

{That’s supposed to be ivy, not paw prints. I’m a little out of practice. And in my defense, driftwood is not very smooth.}

Now they’ll remember who she is! It’s a little more serious than I’d normally do, but I thought I should use proper lettering in case any poor 7-year-old is trying to copy it!
