Sheriff badges

Hi there guys! It's been far too long, I know! So tonight, I'm going to show you one of the cutest things I've done, and I really cannot take that much credit for it.
I'm an aide in the kindergarten class room at my school, and in it, we have every day what we call sheriffs. They are basically the teacher's little helper for the day. So, to show that one gets the huge honor of being a sheriff, my teacher has what she calls... sheriff badges. But unfortunately, they never looked like badges. They were usually a piece of index card with a sticker saying sheriff on it, with yarn tied around so it's a necklace. She always had some in her sheriff badge basket though, that were shiny gold stars that said sheriff, and almost everyday a kid would ask for it, but she had no way to attach them to the child, so it just sat in the basket. So, one day, my mom and I were in Hobby Lobby, just wandering around looking down all the aisles when I saw these.
and I just about died. Still there was no way to attach them, but I KNEW I had to get them. So I picked up five, and went back to the jewelry type section, and there I found little adhesive pins. I snapped up a pack and when I got home, I stuck them on and took them to school the next day.

My teacher was *quite* excited and I'm pretty proud to say that my kids LOVED them, and still do!

It's been a while!

So for anyone who was regularly reading my stuff, you must have given up on me, and I Don't blame you! But I'm back for now, I've just been so super busy. So here is my LAST Christmas present.

So you cant really tell from the picture how awesome it is, but it's a map. My dad is in the real estate business and I put a pin on everything he has, and then made the little sign to go underneath it. It was probably the easiest one that I did because all i had to do was get a local map laminated and put it in a frame, but I think it turned out really cute. (:
