cute teacher present

i found this adorable owl project while searching for teacher gift ideas last week.

i'm not sure what came over me because i'm not one of those scrapbook/crafty moms,

but this was so stinking cute, i read the step-by-step tutorial to see how the designer did it.
it didn't seem too difficult so i'm gonna give it a go. 

i picked up two generic boxes of oatmeal at target, some random papers and flowers

from michaels and hope to start this project in the next few weeks.
if it turns out, i'll be sure to share!

~ it's a beautiful weekend here in san diego, and we're taking full advantage of it. 
c is at the beach with finn, and scoutie and i are heading to a park for his preschool pal's birthday. 
he's excited because she will have a jumpy.  he takes after me in his love of bouncing.
