Teacher Appreciation Door #4 - Library



Our school librarian is doing a pirate theme for her decor next year.  So I decided for Teacher/Faculty Appreciation Week to make something she could reuse.  The scroll on the signpost says, "There's no ARRRRRRGuing that Mrs. Green is our hidden treasure!"  She really is the best!  Mrs. Green wanted my parrot from the Pirate Treasure Hunt contest bulletin board, but another teacher had already spoken for it.  I love the concept and images of this door, but not the proportions.  I should have put the saying in the sky.  But on the day I was creating this door, I was super sick and my brain couldn't (and wouldn't)  think straight.  And the images couldn't be any bigger if they are going to fit on her bulletin board next year.  Despite my foggy brain, the door was completed and she loved it.

Ahoy there Matie!





Another month, another contest. The short of it..."Y'er trash is our treasure!" Students turn in all their Box Tops, Campbell's Labels for Education, My Coke Rewards, Tyson Project A+ Labels, ink cartridges, cell phones and store receipts to earn gold coins for their class. The grade with the most gold coins collected at the end of the contest wins a Pirate Ice Cream Boat Party. Anyone want to help me scoop ice cream for 150+ students?

Supplies:
Doodle Dragon Studios images - pirate set
Doodle Dragon Studios - treasure chest from Esty
Blackletter Cricut cartridge
Butcher paper
