Thanks A Latte - Coffee Themed Bouquet

This was one of the most enjoyable gifts I have created in a  long time!  No seriously, I was cracking up every time I found a new coffee sign to put in arrangement! 

I cleaned out the two espresso cans I had in the pantry and by that I mean, opened then brand new cans, poured them in a Tupperware and rinsed the cans! 

I printed out the CUTEST coffee gift card holder from here : http://www.box.net/shared/1bry1y4q0o 

All of the other images were found thru my Google search for coffee signs.  There are plenty of funnies out there but then again, these are for my son's teachers!  They have a great sense of humor but I wouldn't want to cross the line!  I bought (on behalf of the entire class with part of the donation I collected) each of them two $10 gift cards to Starbucks, a Via iced coffee packet and biscotti.

A Lucky Class Gift

My fourth grader is taking his FCAT Writes exam tomorrow.  This is a huge deal for Florida's students and teachers.  Their school grade, merit raise and the determination if the student needs to be held back for another year hinges on this tests.  My kiddo's school puts an enormous amount of emphasis on each student and their success on the test.  I thought I would present my kids teacher with a class gift to wish all the students good luck. 

 It perfectly ties in with the upcoming St. Patricks Day holiday!  Who can't use a little four leaf clover for good luck!?!?

Little tin bucket : $.88 from Old Time Pottery
Glittery Shamrock Sticker Pack : $1 from Joann's
St Patrick's Day Pencils : $1 x 2 from Dollar Tree
Ribbon from my stash!
