Guest Stamper – Fabulous is what you are

I have a guest stamper today, our 7 year old. On Friday evening after school we went to collect two new little Pekin chicks that are ~6 weeks old to add to our “flock” of 3 (we like to have a succession plan and get a couple of new ones each year). He was so excited about going to school on Monday and telling one of his teachers about it, that also has chickens and has taken an interest in his chickens since he had her as a teacher in Kindergarten 4 years ago. Sadly though we received the very sad news late on Friday night she was no longer going to continue working at the school. Whenever Mrs. B. saw  him, she would always take time to chat to him and take an interest in whatever he was doing and remembered things he has told her previously – given the hundreds of students she has taught in the last few decades I am in awe of her memory!

When I was putting stuff away today from last weeks class, he asked if he could make her a card – to ask her to stay at school and not leave (that’s what he wrote inside)……..he used a brand new stamp set (as he liked the fancy writing) and it had to have lots of sparkles and be pink (as apparently girls like pink). The card was designed and made entirely by him – the only parts I helped with were cutting and scoring the base card stock and helping align the flower punch  – the rest was all his doing – not bad for a boy who’s only recently turned 7 is it??

The stamp set he chose is called Million & One and I must say that Mrs. B. was definitely one of those teachers that really make a difference – thank you so much for making a positive difference in our son’s life, we’ll miss you a lot in so many ways.
