Today marks my daughter’s first day of 1st grade.
I am a little sad- and I am a little excited. Sad to see how fast my babies are growing up–and excited for her to learn and experience new things. She loves school, much like I did.
Since both of my kids will be in school this year–I have some lofty goals of the things I will be able to get done– although, my son will only be in preschool- so that will be half days, 4 days a week.
It’s more time than I have ever had by myself as a mom though–so, we shall see what happens. I might just cry for the first week 😉
But…for now, I have 15 more days til preschool starts! 🙂
I am really excited about Alexis’ teacher- she is young, and seems like a ton of fun! Her name is Mrs. Dance–see…even her name is fun!
Anyway- Alexis and I made Mrs. Dance a wreath for her classroom….and then, I made a video showing you how to make one too (plus, I needed a new Fall wreath for my door)!
I used the DCWV Grade School Stack to make a couple quick embellishments- as well as a stamped image (crayon box) The chalkboard, I picked up at Joann’s and stamped it with a soon-to-come-out Pink by Design stamp and white staz-on ink! 
To get the perfect colors- I used the DCWV Harvest Gathering Stack as a reference to choose fabric colors!
LOVE LOVE LOVE these wreaths. Mrs Dance will love them!! hard to see your babies grow up…. will be back to see the video..

Darling!
I just love the wreaths. I don’t have any school age children anymore but still would like something for the front of my house. I live on a steet were many kids pass by on the walk to school. I think I will definately lift this idea. School doesn’t start until after Labor Day around here so I have plenty of time to get this done.
Very cute, I like that they are easy too.
These are adorable. Do you spray them with some sort of sealer to keep the ribbon from getting wet, etc?
Wow! I love these!!! The school one is adorable!
Love the wreaths and how easy they are to make. I’ll keep this in mind for our new school year. One of these would be great for my new classroom.
I love your wreaths! What a wonderful idea.
Precious…the fall colors are my favorite!!
those are adorable. I will definitely make one for my Fall door deco! thank you, how simple and easy and gorgeous.
How cool!! I’ve had a wreath frame sitting around my house for over a year now and it looks like I’m heading to JoAnns today. 🙂
Great gifts for the teachers classroom. Your child’s teacher’s must love you.
