Mr richards gift

Mr richards is Kaitlyn's singing teacher and when she first started nursery she wouldn't even open her mouth to sing. Now she sings loud and proud and sings anywhere and everywhere and is always telling us all about him . He has helped her gain in confidence enormously. She bought him a lion and some nivea for men minis and we made him a note book , a seed card and a little bag of football goodies.

Card for Natalie

Here's the quick card i did for my daughter to give to Natalie Carly's teacher . Quite an achievement as Victoria buys what she calls proper cards . Natalie loved it.

Very simple but i do like it
