Teacher Gift

It is hard to believe this year is almost over.  Her dance recital is this weekend and I scoured Pinterest for ideas.  Came up with this. 

My sister in law gave me a similar dish with my initials on it for Christmas last year and  I love it...figured I could do something similar...but freehand.

 I purchased the dish at Target and did the artwork with a gold oil pen and then put it in a cold oven.  Baked at 350 for 30 minutes.  Then I let the dish cool in the oven before taking it out.  I love it!  The color is usually darker after baking. I wrote the Amelia's name and year on the bottom as well :)

We spent a lot of time in the cottage this past week.

Her preschool is almost done too. More on those teacher gifts later :)  She had crazy hair day on Wednesday.  Wanted to be Twilight Sparkle with blue and pink stripes with ... glitter that was hard to capture on the iPhone :)
