Thank you gifts

Tomorrow is our last consult with Dr. M and I wanted to do something to show our appreciation.  I didn't want to spend too much $ since we spent so much already, but I looked on my pinterest account, http://pinterest.com/lizahnya, for ideas and found a craft I was excited to make.  My thank you candy gram turned out like this:

I'm quite pleased with how they turned out!  The tag is the elementary school counselor in me.  I'd teach students some relaxation techniques and one of them is to make lemonade with their hands whenever they felt anxious or stressed.  I thought the tag was appropriate since my journey with IF has been such a roller-coaster ride.  If you'd like to make one, check out my pinterest account for the font I used to make the tag and the lemon printable.  The "horseshoes and lemonade" font is located in my "Fonts" board and the lemons are in my "Printable" board.  It's very doable! 

Dollar store purchases:
  • glass cracker jars
  • Lemon Head candy boxes
  • yellow polka dot ribbon
Items lying around the house:
  • heavy stock paper
  • double sided tape
  • natural raffia ribbon
  • scissors 
  • hole puncher
Dr. M's gift cost $12 because his lemon drop candies are from The Sweet Factory.  I wish I could afford the lemon drops for the girls, but decided to substitute their jars with Lemon Heads.  Each one cost $3.50! 

Total: $26
Dr. M (RE) = $12
Michelle (embryologist) = $3.50
Deb & Sue (NP's) = $3.50
Babs & Cindy (Phlebotomists) = $3.50
Delphine & Janice (U/S techs) = $3.50

I hope they like it!  I'm looking forward to handing them out :)

The next time we meet with Dr. M again is when we return for our frost babies.  It's so surreal.  I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow and we're super excited to see our baby's heartbeat tomorrow! 

Thanks SR for these beautiful flowers last week!
