End of the Year Gift for Teachers

 

I saw this cute idea on Pinterest for an end of the year gift for a teacher.  I thought it would be a cute idea for my teacher friends after our long year.  I bought some orange goodies....

 

....and am going to fill some white paper bags with them, tie it up with orange polka dot ribbon and add the cute tag above.  It's from Coley's Corner.

 

 

Here's my version.  I used what I had on hand to avoid a 15 mile trip to Wal-mart/Michael's/JoAnn's.

 

 

The gifts above are for the guys I worked with...I'll miss them both!

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Treats

 

I made the Easter treats above for Miss M's class.  I put 2 peeps in a cello bag with a bit of grass and topped it off with a tag from Nothing but Country that read:  "Happy Easter to one of my favorite PEEPS!".  You can find the tags here.

 

 

I also wrapped up some eggs for Miss M's teacher with the Egg-celent teacher tag from SwellChel. You can find the tags here.

Christmas Ornaments

 

I made these ornaments today as gifts for my colleagues at school.  They were so easy to make!  I filled clear glass balls from Michael's with some buffalo snow, topped it with a bow, added a vinyl monogram to personalize it and added an ornament hanger. This was my first attempt at using vinyl with my Cricut and it went really well.  I am going to do some more with vinyl in the future.

End of the Year Gifts for Teachers and Students

This teacher gift was inspired by a post on Pinterest.  Inside each can are m&m's and attached to the handle is a poem describing a m&m (Magnificient and Marvelous) teacher.  The printable is available here.  I used Recollections border stickers, some school stickers I had on hand and ribbons to decorate each can.  I bought the Party Size bag of M&M's at Walmart and was able to fill four cans with candy.  DD's teacher will also be receiving a gift card for Walmart.

Miss M and I decorated bottles of bubbles for her classmates.  I picked up 3/$1.00 bubbles at Dollar Tree and used printables from Amanda's Parties to Go .  We wrapped each bottle with a Summer wrap that we printed out on paper, then added ribbon and a  cardstock tag that says have a great summer around the neck of the bottles.  Miss M. signed the back of each tag with her name.

Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea

 May 8th is Teacher Appreciation Day!  We appreciate our children's teachers so very much and are very blessed that their teachers are enthusiastic and caring.  This gift is for Mrs. Michelow, Miss M's first grade teacher.  I saw this idea on Skip to My Lou.  The printable is available on the site for free...which is always fantastic!  I purchased the stack of notes at Hallmark and it came with a matching pen.  DD picked pick because it is her teacher's favorite color, or so she tells me!

Sending thoughts of appreciation to all of the teachers in my life...my former teachers and professors, my colleagues and friends.

Valentine's Day 2012

I'm so very late in posting about Valentine's Day. We had a lovely evening at home and enjoyed our time together. You can see the Smilebox for all the photos. Above is the gift I made for dd's teacher. I found the idea on Pinterest, of course! You can view the printable here.

Cute Teacher Gift Idea

I saw these on Pinterest from the blog My Sister's Suitcase. I just had to make a few for my colleagues at school. I filled each cup with assorted chocolates (kisses, butterfinger bells and peanut butter cups), and will deliver them on Monday morning with a can of soda. It's going to be an action-packed week in middle school. I hope this helps the week feel a bit less crazy!

Teacher Appreciation Gift

I saw this cute memo pad holder at Domesticated Lady and just had to make one for dd's teacher. Tuesday is Teacher Appreciation Day and I wanted to get her something useful. I thought this met that criteria. You can download the printables on Domesticated Lady's site. In addition you'll need a 3x3 post-it note pad, a 5x7 acrylic photo frame, ribbon and mini clothespins. I bought all the materials at Wal-mart and Dollar General.

Blessings,

Student Teacher Gift, Part Two

Our student teacher's last day was Friday. Above is the photo collage I made for her using Smilebox. I put it in a matted frame and had the students sign it, as a keepsake.

As you can see, Miss Young loved it!

Here's Miss Young with our students.

We wish Miss Young all the best in life and in her career as an educator.

Peace and blessings,

Lisa
