Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week!
I love Teacher Appreciation Week...and not just because I am a teacher ;)

I like giving little goodies to my kids teachers throughout the year (and giving them THIS questionnaire at the beginning of the school year is super helpful)
Because of my Back to School printable I know that both my girls teachers love Chocolate Chips Cookies, so earlier this school year I made a printable and attached it to a mason jar full of homemade cookies!
 Since Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, I thought I would share the printable with all of you!
This is a super simple and who doesn't love homemade chocolate chip cookies?
You could even add a gift card to this if you wanted to make it extra special.

Here is what you need:
-Printable {download at the end of this post}
- Wide mouth Mason Jars {I got mine HERE}
- Bakers Twine/String
- Chocolate Chip Cookies (I use THIS recipe)

I love mason jars & think everything looks cuter in a mason jar, so that is why I like to put things in mason jars as gifts :)
And, I also love bakers twine, so I just wrap a bunch of it around the mason jar, add a tag & viola!
Super cute gift!
Of course, you could always put the cookies on a paper plate & cover it some clear wrap and bakers twine and the printable to that, but I like mason jars because it is easy for my kids to carry and/or put their backpack and I don't have to worry about the cookies getting smashed! :)

If you have read my blog for a while, you know that Cookies are some of my FAVORITE treats!
The girls and I LOVE making cookies, especially cookies that have chocolate chips in them.
I was browsing through my Recipe Box and realized that I have several Cookie Recipes that use Chocolate Chips, so here are some recipes you can use for this printable:

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies:

 Monster Cookies:

 
Chocolate Chip Snickers Cookies:
 
 Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies:

I have really yummy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe also, but I realized I haven't blogged that yet! I will try and blog that soon :)

 Just a Reminder!

One of our favorite candies is Starburst. YUM!

 Target had a 25 pack of Starburst that are just pink & red Starbursts (best flavors....yeah!!)

I knew I had to make a Valentine to go along with Starbursts:

Kate wanted to make these ones for the girls in her Brownie troop.

Here is what you need for these Valentines:

- Package of 2 pack Starbursts

- Scissors

- Stapler

-Pen

-Starburst printables (at the bottom of the post)

 The other version I made has tiny stars in the background and says "Valentine, you are a STAR"

 All you do is write the to & from on your Valentine,  cut out the Valentine & staple one 2 pack of Starburst to the Valentine.

 Look how cute they look:

 I really love how these turned out!

 Super easy to make!

 Here are the printables for you to download:

 Happy Monday!
Hope you had a great weekend.
Our weekend was nice & mellow.
It rained most of the weekend which we desperately need here in California.
Kevin & Kate had a Father Daughter Dance & we also had a 40th Birthday Party!
I also had time to work on more Valentine Printables....this time using Popcorn!

The girls are in a Daddy-Daughter Adventure Guides Troop and they have their February meeting this week, so they asked if they could bring Valentines to the girls in their troop.
You don't have to ask me twice....it gave me another excuse to make more Valentine Printables.

Here is what you need:

- Bags of Kettle Corn or Popcorn
(They have these Valentine Kettle Corn bags at Target/Lucky/Safeway)
- "You make my Heart Pop" Printable (at bottom of the post)
- Scisorrs
-Stapler
- Pen

***You could also use these printables for Pop Rocks!***
 Super easy to put together....cut out the printable & staple them on to the bag of Popcorn/Kettle Corn
 This is a great alternative if you don't want to hand out candy with your Valentines!
