I seen somewhere a small quote that I thought would look great in a thank you card for a teacher but do you think I can remember where. Has anyone got any?
Umm can't think of any others... but I just finished up one job last week and received this aawesome hand drawn card by one of my 4 year olds... his mum wrote inside and he signed off with lots of xxxx and his name. VERY CUTE.
