An Idea to Remember

As the last week of school approached, I was racking my brain to think of a little something to give Chloe's teachers as a "thank you" for a great year. I had talked with someone who had bought this lemonade mix and tumblers from Crate and Barrell. I thought that was a cute idea, but not easily accessible to me.......for obvious reasons! So.....this is my DIY take on the cute idea (and it cost me less than $5 each).

During my weekly trip to Wal-Mart, I bought 2 containers of Country Time Lemonade which were a little less than $3 each. Then, I went over to the summer/picnic section and found these green plastic tumblers in a 4-pack for $1! Last, I bought the spool of wired, plaid ribbon for about $2 to coordinate with my yellow and green color scheme. The night before Chloe's last day of school, I got it all out (along with my roll of clear cellophane wrap) and ta-da! I added a label that I printed with a little rhyme about "lazy summer days in the shade sipping lemonade."

The disclaimer......this probably doesn't interest many of you.....however, this idea turned out so cute and was a big hit at school! So....I didn't want to forget about it. I'll probably use this one again. So.....this is my way of not forgetting........

Thanks for sticking with me!
