Survival Kits

Last week the teachers all came back to school for workshop week. We had 15 new employees, so I decided to make something to give them as a fun welcome gift. After searching for ideas on Pinterest, I decided to make survival kits.
Of course, I didn't get a picture of the final product - but here is the card I put with each gift.

I found plastic pencil boxes at Wal-Mart, and put all the items from the list in the boxes.

I made special boxes for the new secretaries.

Teacher Appreciation Gift

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and I wanted to make a gift for the teachers in the district where I work. I spent some time looking for ideas on Pinterest. I found an idea for M & M filled jars at Two Busy Blondes blog and at Happy Clippings.... and many other blogs. I bought some 2 inch circle label sheets made by Avery, and printed the saying for the top of the jar. Then I printed out the poem, and mounted each to a sheet of scrapbook paper and punched a hole for ribbon. I filled the jars with M&M's, and tied the cards to the jars with paper. It was a fun and easy gift, and the teachers really appreciated them.
