a Sunday blessing - 1000 thank yous

How does one say thank you

to an amazing group of parents

who blessed us abundantly last week?

I am graced and honored and blessed to work at a school

among amazing teachers and a community of faith.

Last week was teacher appreciation week

and I can say we were all blown away

by the thoughtfulness we received.

I wanted to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart

so I created these 'brushes' paintings from your gorgeous displays.

Please feel free to download each of the 3 pieces above and

print them out for your personal use.

Our week was organized around the book

one thousand gifts

by Ann Voskamp

which I blogged about here.

 Our amazing parents changed the theme to

1000 thank yous

and made the invites and all decorations to match the book.

And look at the treasures that awaited us

in the teacher's lounge 

and at a very special luncheon.

And our classroom doors were each wrapped like a present.

 Even plants surrounded our luncheon brought in from the local nursery.

 And if all the week's blessings were not enough,
we were each given a basket filled to the brim
with beautiful wrappings - almost too pretty to open.

 My favorite was this canning jar filled with Bible blessings...

 and you can print out these gems at Ann's website here.

WOW

what can I say but again,

a very heartfelt thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

I get a little teary just remembering the beautiful tribute.
