teachers

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! I'm so thankful for teachers in my life and wanted to say a special hello to those of you who are teachers. Porter and I put together some cute little bags filled with chocolates and he took them to his pre-school teachers this morning. Speaking of appreciation, if any of you need an idea for a last-minute teacher gift, you could make a quick set of cards for them. Who wouldn't love some homemade cards to have on hand?



I made these cards for Porter's teachers last Thanksgiving. Three sets of cards in 30 minutes. I literally was in a pinch for time and just grabbed my new favorite stamp at the time (the bracket stamp from 7Gypsies), some darling Crate Paper scraps, flowers, brads, and a fine point black pen. I always have a stock of white cardstock and standard white envelopes too, so it really was a snap to put these together. So in a half-hour I had a set of cards for both of his teachers and an extra set for someone else.

These are adorable Becky! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm thinking this would be a nice touch to a mother's day present.

What a great idea! It would be easy to make some up to have for quick gifts.

I wanted to thank you for sharing your idea way back when in the ck mag about doing a month by month baby album. I loved to idea and created one when I had my daughter two years ago. My friends have also used the idea for their babies. I liked being able to write down things and then later be able to add it to that month's page. It felt so much less stressful than having to feel like I needed to do a page for the single events. Anyway thanks for your continual inspiration.

Great idea! I always make cards for family/friends to go with their gifts but I love the idea of giving them a set of cards as the gift.

Great idea!
