2015 Teacher Appreciation Gift's

2015 Teacher Appreciation 

School is just about over, & I'm just finishing up my elementary kid's Teacher gifts! 

My Boy's Teacher's will be getting these Homemade Pendants!

I had to laugh at one of my boy's when they asked what I was going to make my oldest Son's teacher.  He apparently has forgotten he is in JR. High, & has 6 Teachers!  As much as I would love to make them all something,  they will just have to be happy with a Thank You card this year!

Close To My Heart Base & Bling Pendants - Baseball Mom

Love the CTMH Base & Bling Pendants!  I'm not a big jewelry "wearer" but I love making it, & will wear it, if I make it!  I've had a lot of fun making these Pendants for so many others, & just haven't made me one till this last weekend!  I was on the computer & found a fun digital baseball kit, that I was thinking for my boys, & came across this baseball "flair" pack, that I thought was perfect to put in the round pendants from CTMH!  Those of you who know me, know that we live baseball around here (big surprise with 4 boys huh!?!)  Anyhow, I seen these & knew these are the ones for me!  So I put together this little necklace in less than 10 minutes!  Unfortunately, the little charms are not from CTMH.  I hope they come out with some more that can go with sport moms!

These are some CTMH Pendants I did in 2014 for Teacher Appreciation Gifts to my Boy's Teachers that year!  Obviously forgot to post them!  I wanted to share how cute these ones turned out too.
Everything on the pendant is CTMH, except for the little saying.  I used the Faux Antiqued Silver, & the Faux Antiqued Gold.

2012 Teacher Christmas Gifts

This is what I made for my boy's Teacher Christmas gifts for 2012.  Thought it would be fun to make these way fun calendar box's from Silhouette.  I had to make 7 of them, since my preschooler goes to 2 different preschools, & my 3rd grader has 2 teachers.  So much for 4 boys & four teachers, huh?!?  They turned out way cute!  Can't wait to make some more!

Teacher Gifts 2012

 Cardstock cabinets with cards, envelopes, pen, & a Stamp with the Teachers name.

Finally got my kid's Teacher appreciation gifts done!  Sad, that school is out, but at least I got them done!
I made four of these cute little cardstock cabinets that include 3 of each card, envelopes, & a pen.  Also I have ordered stamps with each Teacher's name on it to put in the cabinet.  So the Teacher will have these fun blank cards to write to someone when needed!
Teachers work so hard to teach our little ones, so why not try to make their jobs a little bit less stressful!
Thanks for looking!

2011 Teacher Appreciation gifts

Back of the Mini Backpack. Isn't this ribbon so cute!

This year I made Hunter & Chase's Teachers these fun Teacher Appreciation gifts. I love these little mini backpacks, they are so fun to make. Matching cards, & I made these little School Themed bracelets with fun charms. Just wrapped the bracelets up in red tissue paper & placed them inside the mini backpacks. Sure hope their teachers like them, I had fun making them!

Thanks for looking!

Halloween Teacher Gifts

The kids wanted to give their Teachers something for Halloween, so why not make the fun little Coffins, fill them with candy, & make a matching card to go with them! Add the extra fun of wrapping both the coffin & card with spider web & it really makes them pop!

Happy Halloween!

The Teacher Keeper

My Boy's have had some awesome preschool teachers over the years, & I wanted to give them something fun to keep their preschool memorabilia in. So I made them something out of one of my new favorite toys: the My Creations Memory Keeper from Close To My Heart. I just used various papers from Roberts Crafts, Close To My Heart, & Wild Ivy memories, buttons & ribbon from JoAnn's, & die cuts from my trusty cricut!

Teacher Appreciation Week Gift

This is what I ended up making my 2 oldest boys teachers for their Teacher Appreciation gifts last week. I just changed the Desktop System around to the school look. I had a lot of fun putting these ones together, & they turned out super cute! I sure hope their teachers enjoy them, they are hard to give away now that they are done!

Cardstock is from Close To My Heart, Background & Texture paper's from Roberts Crafts, ribbon, & School Buttons are from JoAnn's, & Large Brads are also from Roberts.

If you like the Desktop System, & would like to make some of your own, with matching cards, check out my Workshop Full of Fun for some of the ideas I have there.
