BUMBLE BEE theme PARTY for the library - 10 year celebration - GAMES - personalized items - BLACK & YELLOW - honeycombs

10 YEAR LIBRARY CELEBRATION!!!

We had so much fun planning and being a part of this big party. 

Here are some prepping before the big day and from the event.

I was in charge of the big game prep/assembly and some personalized items. Bumble bee theme!!

Cutting bookmarks, personalized candy wrappers, and punching tags for our snacks.

Made a bee theme "guess how many" m&m jar. My boys were happy to help with this project. I had them separate the colors (and count how many) while I layered the jar. 

I printed wings and attached with hot glue along with the antenna. Made a custom tag for the top of the jar for that extra detail. 

Wrapped a ton of mini Hershey miniatures with personalized tags.

I thought Honey-comb cereal would be perfect for the kids.

I made an assembly line for all the volunteers.

Bagged, tied, and tagged.

We also prepped for our BIG punch cups game!!

Amazing turnout!!

Personalized cupcake tags. Visit my Etsy shop for personalized tags.

My son ran the punch cup game. So cute!

We had a table set up with two guessing games. M&M bee and the other was the leftover honey-combs in a big jar.

OCTOBER -Breast Cancer Awareness MONTH - IDEAS - Pink Ribbon Pins and gifts

The last two years I posted the teacher gifts the boys handed out for Breast Cancer Awareness and this year is no different. 

2012 Breast Cancer Awareness gifts

2013 Breast Cancer Awareness gifts

A little over a week and a half ago my older son's second grade teacher lost her battle with breast cancer. I can't even imagine the fear when multiple treatments fail. I can't imagine the heartache of knowing you will leave behind a husband and two year old son. I can't imagine the pain your body goes through in your final days. Tears stream down my face just thinking what this family is going through. 

Taken way too soon.

The boys colored their hair and wearing pink for all of October.

Supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken and never, never giving up hope!

It's time to find a cure!

I originally was only including socks and bracelets (found at Michael's) but the rest of September I kept finding things to add. 

Pins, pens, ribbons, straws, bracelets, socks, bracelets for the men (Real Men Wear Pink,) glitter stickers, bags and custom tags

The boys handed these out to all the rest of the teachers

I saved the straws for DIPPED MARSHMALLOWS 

Bagged with a ribbon

Personalized To: and From: tags and DONE!

This was when the teacher at his school went on hospice in September. He started with a lighter pink to honor her.

Breast Cancer Awareness GIFTS - Cups with goodies - TEACHER APPRECIATION

As always, we like to give little gifts throughout the year to the teachers. ((Teachers are AMAZING!!!))

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so we decided to give all the teachers these cups with goodies inside. This was the GIFT the boys handed out last year. 

AND THIS YEAR....

I think they turned out great! I made custom tags for each teacher. 

All the goodies

Found the cups at HEB

Only two teachers received the lanyards (kind of pricey)

The boys made rubberband bracelets and I found the ribbons at Micheal's craft store.

Found pink M&M's and made a breast cancer awareness tag. Same as HERE and the bags info HERE

Found the bic pens at HEB

All the teachers loved them!
