This was a fun project...even though I started very late. Our school is celebrating this week, instead of next. I think there was some confusion on which week it was. I thought it was next week..but non the less our teachers (we have 2) are getting a great gift baskets (who cares what week it is! They deserve it!) filled with Tastefully Simple desserts, Gold Canyon Candles (Grape...yum) and each one will get a $100.00 Visa gift card. And a couple of little things. But what I love the most are the 2 8x8 photo albums my friend Melissa and I made for them. I had a picture of each kid that I've taken over the year. I thought it would be cute to do a scrapbook with each kid and their name so that they can look back on this year. They turned out GREAT! Here's a couple of pictures...well more than a couple!
The cute baskets! I love doing these.
I also made 2 handmade cards to hold the gift cards.
Inside of the card.
The front of the card. Plain, but still cute.
The front cover of the book. I love all the ribbon on the binding. I was excited to finally use my Zutter Bind-It-All that I've been neglecting. Took me a bit to remember how to use it. I screwed it up a couple of times. But was able to mask the mistakes pretty well.
This is the poem I put on the inside of the book. I love it. The pictues aren't that great but you get the idea.

Wow! What an awesome room mother you are! The teachers will LOVE the awesome gift baskets... this coming from a former 1st grade teacher!
You're an awesome room mom! Those baskets and books look great! They're going to be stoked to get them. I was just complaining that the room moms want us to donate a different themed gift every day next week and bring a dish for the teachers every day as well. With three kids in school, yikes! I think I'm doing a handmade item instead with a gift card to 'Buckys instead. Easy peasy! :)
Awesome job, Julie! Kay's teacher appreciation week was this week, too. Although..what we put together at the home is nothing compared to this! It's lovely, I bet the teachers were so happy with the generosity of your work :)
Julie!! This is awesome! As a teacher, I can tell you, many times we got gifts that were the crap of the century (even though the thought was great! I don't want to sound ungrateful, but...). But, a scrapbook!! That is the best idea ever!
