A Year In {Picture} Review

What do you do when you have three projects due approximately the same time?  You work round the clock to get them all done!  This project was smack dab in the middle of the hustle and bustle that made up the first three weeks of May in Little Blue's crafting room.

Each year, I try my best to come up with an end of the year gift for my students.  I strive for something that is heartfelt and that the parents will think twice about before chucking it in the all too familiar "circular file" {aka - trashcan}.  This project began swirling around in my head sometime in February.  Now, let me be real with ya here -- I thought this up and said out loud "this is great and it'll be so easy, I only have seven kids".   HAHAHA...when am I going to learn??  Every time I say how easy something is, it takes twice as long...LOL!  I was asked by a co-worker would I do this project again.  Certainly!  I loved everything about putting this together and now that I know the time it takes, I'd start waaay earlier!

I'm happy to say that the kids thought they were cool and their parents were overjoyed and a little emotional when they saw them.  They were created in a way that would allow each family to have them framed if they so desired -- a great way to show their child's year in preschool and perhaps it will end up as a keepsake for years to come.

Navy blue/light blue for the boys

Yellow/green for the girls

I'm certain that at some point in the not so distant future there will be a post on how I actually created these.  But for now, I'll just sit back enjoying my cup of chamomile tea and smile at a job well done!
