Christmas Treats


Welcome Back Christmas Friends!
Can you believe we are down to one week before Christmas?!
We've been working on more "Sweet Treats" 
What Flavor would you like?
We presented our Ice Cream Christmas Blizzards and Swiss Rolls in
A Drink /Cup Holder from Jack In The Box! (FREE)
Perfect for little hands to carry to School!
Simple for little hands to Create!

Glass Goblets from The Dollar Store or you can find plastic red ones from Walmart.
Warm Christmas Fuzzy Socks are everywhere on SALE right now.
(Target, Walmart, JC Penney,  Kohls)
My daughters wrapped them  in a swirl and placed them in the glasses,
pinch the middle of the sock to bring it to the top(looks like ice cream).
Place Candy Canes, Pixie Sticks, Peppermint candy in the center.
My little daughter made hearts out of two candy canes and taped them together-
It was so cute to watch her!
Hmmm....I wonder where she has seen them?
We added tags and a snowflake ornament.
The Tags read: "Wishing You A Magical Christmas"

Enjoy!
Wishing you all a productive day!
Thanks for visiting!
Sending you all Candy Canes and Roses!

This Little Light Of Mine

Welcome Friends!
Welcome Christmas Candles!
The Days are moving quickly! I hope you are all enjoying the Season!
Yesterday, my daughter ran down the stairs saying....
"It's The FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS!"
Our Advent Calendar is hanging in the kitchen bringing Christmas Smiles!

I will be sharing a few gift ideas for Teachers, Neighbors, Friends, Co-workers-
The beautiful people that make the world a happier better place!
Candles are a beautiful part of Celebrating Christmas.
I think Candles make a great gift and everyone can use a Candle!
Last year, I decorated our Christmas Table on Christmas Eve with these DECORATED candles.
I think they would be great as place cards for Family and Fiends with their names on the TAGS!

(The picture is shown with the candle rolled in Glitter Scrapbook Paper)

Teacher Appreciation Gifts


Special Thanks to Teachers!



Teachers Touch Tomorrow!


Inspired by Teacher gift ideas from Home Sweet Home! We also love the LABELS that can be downloaded (Thank you!)
We made Teacher Appreciation Goody Box's for our wonderful teachers. (I think they make a fun gift for everyone, especially when they are personalized!)

Take a clear plastic divider craft box
Fill with chocolates, candy, office supplies, erasers etc.
Be sure to include M&M's, Lifesavers, Hugs and Kisses!


Include the M&M Teacher poem that can be added to your cute box on the inside! (Thank you Sandy, you're my M&M!)
My Magnificient and Marvelous Teacher

Green is for the inspiration you give me each day.
Blue is for your patience in showing me the way.
Orange is for your warmth and caring style.
Yellow is for the way you always make me smile.
Red is for my life that you have touched this year.
You're a very special teacher just like this box, that's clear.
You place knowledge in our children's hands

and melt into their hearts and lives forever.
You're a "Magnificent" & "Marvelous" teacher
Thank you for being my M&M.



Be sure to hide your box's so they make it to school!

Fun for kids! The smiles on my kids faces made this project worth while. More importantly, I hope our teachers have big smiles and know how much we appreciate their dedication and hard work.



We embellished each organizer box with school themed scrapbook paper, tied pencils on top with a large tule bow. The ideas are endless! (We found our plastic box's at walmart in the craft isle next to the jewelry beads). We embellished the box's with school themed scrapbook paper. My kids are also going to make cards. Cheers to Teachers! We appreciate you!

HOORAY FOR TEACHERS!


"PICK ME" and welcome Classroom SMILES with "HOORAY FOR TEACHERS" and "PICK ME" aprons created for your special teacher! You can also coordinate your gift with a Fun and cheerful Reversible Teachers Handbag showing cheers of APPRECIATION!

I found the Teacher apron panels at Jo Ann's Fabrics. The panel gives you an additional 6 X 6 inch square of "Hooray for Teacher" fabric that can be added to a bag or another apron. I have added the extra piece by making it into a pocket and adding it to a handmade teachers bag or you can add it to a denim apron!
You can slip the apron inside your handmade bag and fill with teacher treats!





A big hit with teachers! Cheers to Teachers!
(I am re-posting this post for end of year Teacher ideas. This has been our favorite!)
