More Presents to share

First off, my secret Santa, I rigged it (good thing of running it) so I would have Lois, who is a 3rd Grade teacher, but also, a friend, and was the best 4th Grade teacher a girl could have....She introduced me back then to Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary, and to this day if she is reading one to her class, I stop to listen. Yesterday's gift is one I wanted to share (others where small things like the blue photo holder shown previously) ever since I saw this post I knew instantly I wanted to do this for Lois, as she is retiring (way too young) at the end of this school year. We will not discuss the denial I am in....but will show some of the final project prior to her receiving it (don't know if she liked it as tempted as I was to ask, can't reveal ourselves until the BIG breakfast on Friday AM) Forgive the pictures ...


If you note I used the same paper (Miss Elizabeth's) on the comp notebook as I did on her photo holder, this was such a fun and inexpensive but awesome idea....

Now more gifts, my teacher Linda is a huge Mickey Mouse fan, so for her photo holder I used a kit and made hers..then my friend/coworker Julie, loves purple (has since we were in Lois' 4th grade together) so found some purple paper, then (which not shown since camera is acting up) I used the swiss dots folder on the side panels..for the gift bags, I used plain lunch sacks, used the fiskars ribbon punch, then used some American Crafts Christmas Ribbon(That I got with my Aunt in $1 spot at Jo's) The final one is a Starbucks Frap bottle, in which I just painted the lid, tied some more AC ribbon, filled with various kisses..and there you have it..


I have more variations of the photo holders to show, but tired & don't know if coworkers will get them come Friday (Last day before Break woohoo !) as here is the weather coming my way tomorrow...
