It's the 17th and you know what that means right? Time to party Waltzingmouse style. Every month a new theme is announced - this time it's Teacher Appreciation. This is a great opportunity to see different ways people use their favorite sets to meet the spirit of the theme. After thinking on this one for a while I though the Playful Pinwheels would be just the ticket! Here's what I came up with...I stamped and fussy cut the pinwheel. The center is a button topped with a half pearl, and yes that is a real lollipop stick for the handle. Like Claire says... I hope it tickles!
