Teacher Appreciation Week - Day #1 - You've got the WRITE stuff!
First, I'd love for you to stop by the Pretty Packages Party and link up one of your packages or Teacher Appreciation Gift ideas!

The PTA at our school sent home a list of items to send each day for Teacher Appreciation Week.

(This week is only 4 days as the teachers have an inservice on Monday.)
Day #1 - Pencils
Day #2 - Stickers or a Note Pad
Day #3 - Markers or Pens (I already had something else...)
Day #4 - a flower
So, Day #1, Pencils...
(Wish I had known early enough to purchase some personalized pencils for her...Oriental Trading Company has them sooo cheap!)
Anyway, this is what I did.

I'm sure this pencil can idea is all over blog land. It's easy to make and I've done it before in my pre-blog days. You simply need a clean can, about 40 unsharpened pencils, a glue gun, several glue sticks and some cute ribbon. Do I even need to tell you how to do it?!?
Just in case my dear friend,(who happens to be craftologically (new word) challenged, wants to do this,) you know who your are, I'll spell it out for everyone....
Put some hot glue in a line from the top to the bottom of the can. Place a pencil on top of that glue line. Make sure it is straight and that the wording is facing out (unless you'd rather it all faced in...just have all of them facing the same way.) Press down. Cover the can in pencils. Tie a cute ribbon around it all and fill with pencils.
Tah-dah!!! Super cute!!
If you'd like to make your own, feel free to snag a label...just click the following link.
Free label download here.Thanks to all of the teachers for all that you do!
Smiles!!!
P.S. Tomorrow is the Tuesday To Do Party!
Don't forget to stop by!

Fall Teacher Gifts
First, I just want to say how much I'm missing my camera...glad to have a back-up,
but missing my camera none the less. The pictures are just not the same.
Second, I want to be sure to invite you to come back
Sunday for the 4th Pretty Packages Party.
Take a button for a little reminder!
I'm always amazed at the creative packaging ideas you share with me at the Pretty Packages Party. Here is one shared by the Southern Fried Gal a party or two ago. She gives a great little tutorial on how to make these mini burlap bags for 6" mum pots.
I added ribbon and the chalkboard tags to dress them up a bit for fun fall gifts for the boys' teachers.
The tags are little wooden cut outs I found at Hobby Lobby.
To make the tags, I drilled holes in the top and painted them with chalkboard paint.
A little tip...go ahead and string the jute through the hole before writing the names on the tags with chalk. The jute can be a little tricky to get through the hole and you don't want to mess up your tag.
The chalkboard tags are great for these gifts.
They add the right look for teachers, but also give the teacher the option to regift the gift if needed.
All they have to do is rub off their name and add the new recipient's name!
Our teacher's are all working moms...maybe they could use this as a gift for one off their kid's teachers...giving them a little more time to spend with their own families.
Happy Fall Y'all!
Smiles!
