This week our school was having teacher appreciation WEEK! so each day we took in something to the teacher.. and 3 days we took in things to the recess teachers and then today we added 3 more to the loop.. just to Thank them!

This template is from Perfect Presentation (Bag It Up used SVG file!) Seriously a FUN EASY template..

One day was candy day! So Amanda made up these cute tags.. for the treats!
One day was bring in Post-It Notes.. I figured she would get ALOT.. so Amanda and I decided to make up one she could keep on her desk! (The teachers favorite color is red.. so Amanda picked this combo out!)
Then one day was school supply day.. I didnt take a photo of the pencil top erasers and kleenex she asked for! LOL!

Here are the cards Amanda made up for the recess teachers, and some friends.. she had to make 7.. but used these 2 cute flowers for them!
Here are all the boxes-
Now if your wondering what is inside.. (some had candy.. some did not since it was candy day earlier.. but here is one with it!) I used my SCAL to cut them all .. shrank it down..

Made by Janet. I got the 6 item special.. what a sweetheart she is.. she got them right to me this AM.. and I printed up 4 of the 6 sheets.. I just ADORE them! So this AM.. I whipped these up for my Grandmas Easter Treat.. I needed a little tag for the basket... this I think was perfect...
All I had to do was cut, ink, and add the ribbon and rose.. FUN FAST and EASY! I think my grandma will LOVE that sweet egg! :)

Next up is not a creative share.. crafty but not creative.. I am TRYING to get my craft room in order.. those that know me and have seen it are probably LOLing right now! It is BAD! I need to PURGE, ORGANIZE, and STOP SHOPPING! (that wont happen.. but a HUBBY can dream! HA HA!) anyway.. I used my birthday gift cards from Michaels.. and got some of those GREAT cube organizer things.. all my PTI will be in the 4 drawer one.. then I got this style with 1 drawer and 16 compartments in it.. and a shelf.. WELL I decided to use it for my PTI dies.. I LOVE it.. there is room for LOTS of growth! :) AND room to cut some dies and just have them ready.. I laid my long dies and impression plates on top of the empty cubes.. with them empty it works fine.. I LOVE them all in one spot.. the drawer comes right out so I can have them all near me! :)
