Living with Punks: Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

This week is teacher appreciation week and my twin boys' teacher's are FANTASTIC! They are in 2nd grade and are in seperate classes. I have enjoyed that in some aspects, and haven't in others. But I definitely have no problem making both their teacher's gifts this year.
I used a variation of Dana's free tutorial HOBO SACK. I love how they turned out...

Take a peek inside...GIGANTIC bags of M&M's!!

I found this free download on Skip To My Lou today and

they worked perfectly

Thanks to all the teacher's out there who touch

our children's lives...

Rustown Mom said...: OK, I did something similar - mounted that M&M poem thingy on construction paper and staple it onto big bags of M&M's. The lazy mom way (: I'd like to say I'll do that better next year, but it's my kid's last year in elementary school.....his 4 teachers enjoyed it, tho. Your ditty bags are so cute!; 5/6/10, 1:33 PM
