Hello friends! Do you have any idea what is coming up at the beginning of May? I will give you a hint . . . IF you have school age children this post is for you. Alright, alright I will tell ya . . . it’s Teacher Appreciation time! This is it – a whole week set aside just to honor our beloved teachers and to help you out I’m sharing a free hand lettered Teacher Appreciation print!
FUN FACT: I don’t know about you, but when I was in elementary school, I dreamed of one day being an art teacher when I grew up. It was ALWAYS a dream of mine and everyday when I came home from school, I would head up to my room and PLAY “school” with all of my dolls and stuffed animals for hours on end! About 15 years ago, I was fortunate enough to get my shot . . . to teach at an art photography school at the college level and that’s the closest I ever got, so at least I got a go at it right?
I LOVE having a day set aside for us to take a minute and honor the teachers and the staff at our children’s schools. These people are some of the hardest workers in the world and unfortunately some of the most underpaid and under-appreciated. Remember they care for our children for the majority of their days for 12+ years . . . we NEED to love on them any chance we get and show our appreciation and to at least say a heartfelt THANK YOU!
I am here to help you out today with a new designed and hand lettered art print, with all of the amazing teachers in mind. This is a special design that can be given as an art print to a teacher or you can reduce it down and use it as a gift tag on a gift. Print it out and put in a frame to create an instant gift, or print and clip it to a clipboard, like I did here – either way you will make the teacher feel so good knowing they are making a difference!
When I was thinking about what to do for this, I decided that I should mimic a blackboard and chose to letter on black sketch paper and draw it out in chalk. I love how it came out and the look it created doing it this way. Plus after searching high and low for the perfect quote . . . I decided upon THIS one, as it really spoke to me: the INFLUENCE of a teacher can never be erased!
We all know a fabulous teacher that has influenced our lives and this is the perfect way to express it. I’m excited to offer this FREE Teacher Appreciation art print. I would love for you to share how you are planning to use it. I always enjoy seeing how you are using my artwork in your own lives.

Hello,
I lucked in to your board today and absolutely love your work! I tried to download the chalkboard print – absolutely adorable by the way. It says there is an error when I attempted to download. Is this still available? I am an elementary school principal that is trying to put together monthly gifts, Christmas gifts and birthday gifts foe each staff member in my building. I would love to print and frame this print for each teacher in my building.

Hi Candace, I apologize that you were having trouble downloading the print and for the delay in my response (I was on vacation.) But, if you still need the print you can email me at mariah(at)gigglesgalore(dot)net and I will get it sent over for you.
