I hope you all like the name.... I hate coming up with names for stuff. But I thought that it would be a unique tie between my namesake and my love of paper.
These are the Teacher's Gifts I made for Jakob and Caleb this year. Originally, I was only going to make the beaded lanyards. But then I needed a pretty little box. Step in Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates from the Papertrey Ink website. Well, once I had these little lunch-pails in mind, I HAD to fill them. I mean who wants a nearly empty box? So I picked up these notepads with pens from the $1 bin at Michael's, and covered the front. After I made the box I realized the cute doggy stamp was too big to fit on the front of the lunchbox. The notepad was a perfect and natural solution. While at the dollar bins, I noticed some post-it notes. Wouldn't those be handy for a teacher? So I threw those in (with a coordinating cover I made from Real Red cardstock). What gift would be complete without chocolate? There's a little bag of M&M's included. I had so much fun making these!
These are fantastic Robin! I love em! The little dog with the apple will be so fun for your boys to give and I love all of your coordianted goodies inside your lunch box. So glad you could join in on the My Time challenge this week and happy new blog! Have fun with it!!!
ReplyDeleteahhh how cute is that little doggie. And the lunch pail is a great gift - you did a great job with the challenge - thanks so much for playing along. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis are amazing! I love the stamp you chose, and how you can only see part of the puppy peeking out holding the apple. These are very thoughtful gifts.
