Teacher Christmas Gifts

Here are the Christmas gifts my daughters' teachers recieved. They each got a 2009 planner that I altered the front of. I got this idea from Tami Vik several years ago. They also recieved four coordinating note cards. I've been giving this gift to their teachers for years now and it seems to go over well. At least, that's what they're leading me to believe. : )


This planner went to Josie's Hip Hop dance teacher.

I cover the planner with a transparency sheet and then staple it to the cover. I should've taken the photo before I added it so you wouldn't see my refelction in the photo. At least I'm fully dressed. If you don't know what I'm talking about look up Reflectoporn on snopes.com. Warning: it's a tad graphic.

This set went to Annabelle's teacher.

Cricut Cartridge: Storybook

I need to be better about writing down what papers I use but a lot of the papers are from old stock that I can't remember where they came from.

I made this card to go with my gift for our annual White Elephant party. Now this card isn't very White Elephant-ish but the gift these cards accompanied were. I had gone through all of my daughters' horse things they no longer played with such as: a large ceramic horse, clock, books, T-shirt, and CD-ROM game. This gift was actually very tame compared to some of the others. The party was lot of fun and I look forward to it every year.

The card inspiration came from the latest SU! catalog without as many of the embellishments only for the fact that I crafted these within hours of the party.
