A dear friend of mine, who happens to have children the same age as mine and also shares my love for all things pink, shared this adorable idea with me just before school started.  I totally copied her and made goody bags for Emery and Bodie to gift their teachers on the first day of school.  My friend, Diana, discovered the “I’m tickled pink that you’re my teacher” printable on the amazing blog, www.pizzazzerie.com.  Pizzazzerie is an excellent source for entertaining ideas.  Their Insta is also full of inspiring pretties.

Pulling this gift together could not have been easier.  The kids and I went to Wal Mart following Meet the Teacher night and trolled the aisles for pink goodies we thought their new teachers may enjoy.  I actually had the clipboards and coffee tumblers already in stock, so all we really needed to get were the lip balms, gum, bags and tissue paper.  The next day I used my handy dandy Cameo to cut the vinyl names for the clipboards and mugs, tied and ribbon to the clipboards and VOILA!  I’m pleased as punch with the way this turned out.  This same idea could be spun a bunch of different ways…”I’m tickled pink we’re friends,” or “I’m tickled pink to meet you.”  The items in the bags can be swapped out depending on the recipient as well.  Pink Corkcicles would be a nice surprise.  A pink hairbrush and pink nail polish for the tween set, perhaps?

First and fourth grades are off to a fantastic start!  That being said, we’re ready for this three day weekend.
