More teacher appreciation

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, but I have been working on some big projects (and have more to come) that have been taking all of my time.  I hope to blog about them soon.

In the meantime, here's something that may, or may not be useful for the rest of the school year.  We just had our teacher appreciation last week and I kept it really simple due to lack of time.  I bought cute necklaces at a boutique and put them in pink bags with some candy and chocolate and used these for the toppers.

I was recently made Relief Society president in my church and we wanted to do something fun for the women in our Ward for Mother's Day to let them know they are special.  My counselors, secretary and myself made some chocolate covered popcorn to hand out, and this is the topper I made for the baggies.  So I just modified it slightly with a new saying for the teachers gifts.

The clipart was in my digi-scrap files so I don't know where it came from, but it was a black and white image that I colored in Photoshop.  I got the quotes from one of my new favorite sources.  Goodreads.com has a quote section where you can browse through tons of quotes and then save your favorites in your own section to refer back to easily.  Very helpful and fast.


So I made two easy, simple, cute and different gifts for the work of one!  Yes, I'm lazy, but I like to think of myself as resourceful too!
