Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop – Final Day

This hop has been lots of fun and LoveBug Creations wants to thank our blog visitors for their participation. What a neat project from Kimi LoveBug!  She certainly received some lovely compliments on her apple project (see Day 2 if you missed it).

Well to begin our last day, Mama LoveBug wants to share several projects with you.

This first set is my wearable art (made from paper) in the form of Teacher Brooches.  They would be a lovely gift for the teacher to proudly wear on a blouse, shirt, suit jacket, pinned to a purse, or set on a desk for display. The possibilities are endless! These are available on the LoveBug Creations FB page located at

The second project is appreciation cards for the teacher – one I made for my granddaughter’s first grade teacher and the other is also on our FB page.  Both were made with love and respect for those who deal with “precious cargo”, our children and grandchildren. 


Love those Greeting Farm Stamps!! and Pink By Design Sentiments!!

Gosh, I truly heart Loralie Designs Art Stamps!! and the Twinkle Toes Cricut Cart!!

Since it’s the last day of presenting, commenting, etc for this blog hop, Mama LoveBug wanted to share a memory with you about teaching.  Some students were bad, some were good, some have established bright futures, and some have not.  That’s the way it is.  We all take a different journey in life.  The path I want to mention here involves a former student who established a dream of being a published writer; she never wavered from that goal, and today she has attained her “eye on the prize” in a big way.  My student is known in the world of mystery fiction as Ann Charles.  I asked her to participate in this hop as a guest and she instantly agreed to donate a special prize – her first book in the Deadwood series – Nearly Departed in Deadwood.  So if you are a mystery lover, go to our FB page and leave a comment for a chance at this giveaway - winner announced on June 13.

Now without future ado..here’s that maven of mayhem……….Ann Charles.

“Where would we be without teachers to instruct, guide, and help us succeed in life? I have so many wonderful memories of my teachers over the years, which brings me to a certain teacher who taught me English, History, how to put together a yearbook, and much more—Mrs. (Pam) Lash. In a small school system like my hometown’s, teachers take on many roles. And on top of providing instruction on various subjects, they become motivators and listeners, friends and role models. Mrs. Lash was more than just a teacher, and the fact that we still stay in touch now shows the lasting role teachers can play in our lives long past graduation day. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to share a little bit about how wonderful my teachers have been to me—and still are. Thank you, Pam, for asking me to play a small role in this blog tour. And thanks to all of you hard-working teachers out there who make a huge difference in our lives. You should be paid as much as lawyers and treated as well as doctors.”
