Back to School!

#1 Teacher Gifts

Hey all!

So, along with the bus driver's gift, I also sent in little treat bags for all my kids' teachers. (The 3 oldest, anyways. Twins go back to pre-k next week!)

I used a few files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and the to/from stamps are by Jaded Blossom.

Inside the bags are a bottle of water with a to-go packet of iced tea mix, a dark chocolate Dove bar and a mini hand sanitizer.  Staples for a first day back to school! :)

The teachers all loved them!

Be sure to check back soon to see what I make for the pre- teachers!

Have a scrap happy day!

Back to School!!!

Ready to "ROLL"

It's back to school time in my neck of the woods (YAY!) and I like to send then back with little treats for their teachers, and of course, the bus driver!

So, for the bus driver, I thought of this clever idea of ready to "roll", and filling a container with Tootsie Rolls! Now, I am sure I probably saw this, or something like it, on Pinterest at some point and it stuck in my brain because I am in no way THAT clever! :)

I had a paint can from M's on hand, so I filled that with Tootsie Rolls and then made a "title piece" for the top using MTC.

For the tag, I used a few files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and then just tied it on with some ribbon. 

Quick and simple gift just to show you thought of them :)

After all, they play just as important role in our kids' day as their teachers! :)

Until next time......

Back to School Teacher Gifts!

Hey All!!!
I am back, kinda. As most of you know I went in for surgery last week, well, it was supposed to be minor, but like everything else in my life, did not go as planned, and turned into major surgery again.
I am doing good, but recovery is painful so I am tad behind on my orders and projects!
I've been home almost a week now, and managed to get some back to school gifts done, as my grade school kids started this week!


This first one is for a 5th grade teacher. Lots of classroom supplies and some yummy treats for him too!!
I used bits and pieces of "ABC-123" from Scrapping Bug Designs to accent the bucket. They are mod podged onto the mats, then those were mod podged onto the bucket. (This bucket, btw, used to have ice cream in it! Totally upcycled it by removing the labels with acetone. Thank you, Pinterest!)
I made little packet holders for the water bottles and used a freebie from SVG Cuts for the lemon slice.

Here's one for the first grade class...... used a lunchbox from DC9

And the Kindergarten one, with my pretty girl holding it, of course!

Just some simple ideas for those Back to School gifts! Hope you liked!!
