Have you ever had everything planned out in your head of exactly what you were going to do? Well I had all my Christmas crafting planned for this week; I knew which day I was doing teacher gifts, treats for class parties, and gifts and goodies for my bosses. Needless to say it all went up in smoke when I picked my boys up from school yesterday. They happily told me that school was cancelled for Friday! I couldn't believe it, the school had already made the decision to close on Friday because of a suspected snow and ice storm that is due to hit the Chicago area today. So there went all my plans. I was up all night finishing the boy's teacher gifts. So here is what I came up with:
This is for Mrs. Schreiber, my 5th grader's teacher

And this set is for Mrs. Relilly, my 3rd grader's teacher

Both sets I used retired DSP which I still love. I hate that I am running out. And I decorated a plain white gift bag that I bought from the dollar store. I was also able to do an altered paperclip for both teachers but was unable to get a picture last night because I didn't want to disturb them while they were drying and I didn't have time this morning before school to take a picture.
I guess this is a lesson learned about not waiting until the last minute. We'll see if I have actually learned this lesson for next year. LOL Oh, I won't have to wait that long, there is Valentine's Day and End-Of-The-Year gifts that I need to plan way ahead of time.

Great gift! I'm a teacher and would definitely use this type of gift! I send thank you's to parents and classroom helpers, etc. and try to keep a stash of cards on hand.
