Teacher Gift In The Works…

Posted by Jen | projects | Tuesday, November 27, 2007

I am in the process of getting Ellie’s teacher gifts ready…slowly, but surely. This container is the first thing that I have checked off my list. I have another one in the works, and then all the stuff that is going inside. I figured if I at least got the containers done I would be in good shape because I can always fill them with cookies if I don’t have time to make all the other stuff that I have planned for the ensemble. I got this container at Hobby Lobby for a whopping $2.33. I painted the inside and then got to work on the outside. The DP that I used here is from American Crafts {my fave paper!!}. The flowers were purchased at Recollections individually {how cool is that!?!} and then layered and put together with a pearl brad. Finally, the letter is from the Cuttlebug Red Tag Alphabet and the ribbon is SU! Olive 5/8″ grosgrain.
Ellie is in school today {yay!}. My phone is turned off. I am going to check some more stuff off my to do list and maybe get some cleaning done, too. Have a great day!!

    Very cute! I have teacher gifts to make too — I am considering snowman soup with a target gift card tucked inside, but this caddie is just too cute. hmmm… may have to rethink!

    Really like how you used the PP on the tag — amazing how a stripe bordered in a solid can look so different. :)
