First, I got busy with some of the teacher gifts for Lily's specialists (art, music, bus driver, etc.) and Shelly's teachers and the director of her school.
I saw the cute idea for gifts and the adorable digi kit at this site. I purchased the eye masks and nail files at Bath and Body Works and packaged it with the candy bar. For Shelly's teachers, I added a cute little gift set from B&BW, in addition to the other items. I still need to put something together for Lily's main teachers, but I have a couple of weeks to work on that. 
Here is my version of the gift bags with the printed tags at Heidi's site. I also found this cute idea here for the gift bags and attempted to create the same look on mine.
Another stolen idea came from this site and this site. They created a little chalkboard using a silver tray. I have several silver trays that don't get much use and I thought I should try my hand at this fun little craft. So, I created my very own chalkboard with just a little chalkboard paint and a tray. Very easy to do and lots of cute factor once it's finished.
And to round out my idea stealing extravaganza, I saw this fun little cookie/cake for the holiday weekend and thought I'd give it a go. I didn't have the sugar cookie dough and didn't feel like driving the 20 minutes to the grocery store to purchase it, so I improvised with a double batch of the cookie-cake mix recipe. Then I completed the cookie/cake with the same items listed in her recipe. It was really cute and a big hit with kids and adults alike. It was a nice dessert for a crowd.
Do I even have to tell you that I love this post??!! haha
ReplyDeleteThe cake is wonderful! I so have to make that for 4th of July. You are definitely inspiring me for the teacher gifts. Thanks!
