a gift for a "bright" graduate

I was so inspired when I found light bulb jars at Hobby Lobby.  I've seen so many clever things done with old light bulbs, but I had no idea there were actual light bulb jars!  I got a little excited.  I just thought it was pretty cool.

So I got a few and made little treats for graduates.  (These jars are filled with lemon heads.)  You could make some cute printable tags, but I had these yellow Martha Stewart tags in my stash just waiting to be used.

Ideas for messages:

"Your future looks bright"

"You're one bright kid"

...you get the idea here :)

You could even pretty 'em up a little more with ribbons in the school colors and such.

These were for a couple of older boys, so I didn't think they'd care so much for 

all that ribbon and frilly stuff :)

I found my light bulb jars here.

A Preschool Graduation and a Teacher Gift

The ladybug "graduated" from preschool last night.  

We made a chalkboard flower pot for her teacher.

That cute little pick in the plant was a free printable from Skip To My Lou

I really wanted to make THESE adorable little treats, but I didn't have time to find the supplies.  They are bookmarked for when the little guy graduates preschool!

Instead I baked some cupcakes and topped them with these "you did it!" toppers.  I made the toppers with my cricut. 

The ladybug enjoyed her night.  And of course, we took tons of pictures.
