Next week is teacher appreciation week, and because I'm the head room parent for my daughters 4th grade class I was asked to decorate her teachers door. In my usual style I procrastinated until the day it was suppose to happen. I've know about it for awhile and have had an idea in my head, but it didn't come together until today. My daughter's teacher loves "Hot Tamales" so I wanted to incorporate that somehow. My first saying I had in my head was "thank you for being one hot tamale of a teacher," but I wasn't crazy about that. Then I saw the saying I ended up with here, and thought it sounded way better. The link is to the picture I found on Pinterest, I couldn't find the actual sight it came from, so if anyone knows I'd love to give them credit. You can't see it very well on the poster but the little spots are hot tamales and below are bigger hot tamales with the kids' pictures and names on them. I did the hot tamales free hand in Silhouette Studio. They kind of look like red pickles, but it turned out well. I was originally told only to do a poster size, but when I got to the school everyone else was using butcher paper. It probably would have looked better with the butcher paper, but I think it turned out pretty well.
