    I am a library assistant and due to Covid all our programs are now online. Just like everyone else! I film a craft video every week as well as have curbside craft pick up. I would love to have the children make wish flowers. May I use your templates? I would include link in description box. Thank you!

    Hi Stacey,

    Hi,

    I would love to do this project with my class for open house but I can’t get the page to download. Is there a way you can email me a pdf copy? Thank you!

    I am unable to print this as well. Would you be willing to e-mail to [email protected]? I think I will use one copy for a christmas present to my kids Aunt. Thank you so much- adorable idea!

    This is my fave of the top 10’s fm 2016. I’ve just discovered your blog and have been devouring all your holiday owl printables. Many will end up in my office to brighten my coworkers’ day. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

    This was super easy and turned out great. Thank you for the template. We completed our dandelion as a family project (everyone used a different color ink for their fingerprints) and changed the word WISH into “Wishes Do Come True.” It will make a beautiful keepsake for years to come.

    The down load link worked fine for me? Maybe it’s because it opens directly into the “box app”? If you don’t have it maybe that’s the issue? Are you working from a cell phone or PC? Good luck!

    I love this idea and will be making them as Thank You cards for parents in my preschool classroom. I am using your graphic and adding paint with cotton swabs. Each parent will get an end of the year card that says “Your child has helped me grow, professionally and personally, this year.”

    Hi! This looks fantastic! Can you tell me if the file is meant for printing on A4 or A3? Cheers.
