Welcome to the Thank You To Our Teachers Blog Hop! If you have arrived here from Jen's Blog then you are on the right track. If you just happened to stop by my blog for a visit and want to hop along with us, start from the beginning with Memories with Jen. This is a week long hop and we will be posting on 3 separate days. (June 5th, 8th and 11th) Please make sure you hop on those days or throughout the week to see all the wonderful inspiration on what to make our teachers for thank you gifts.


Today I am sharing 3 projects with you.  This first one is a tray I altered for my daughter's second grade teacher.  The supplies I used are DCWV School Days and MM Paint.




I altered a clear box that I used to store beanie babies in.  It is now a ruler holder for my older daughter's college teacher.  I used pink paint and Basic Grey paper and edged it with Stazon Black ink.

My daughter, Victoria altered this mini clipboard for one of her teachers. She used DCWV School Days paper, MM Paint, AC Ribbon and misc flowers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I will be giving away 3 blog candies, one for each post of the hop. I will pick the winners on June 12, one winner from the comments from each post day. Make sure to hop on over to Kim and Pamela's awesome blog: http://www.lovebugcreations3.blogspot.com/ next.

This is such a great idea for a hop, and oh my but your projects are so delightful. I especially love the different colors and different fonts of the letters around your tray - very creative!

Those are super fun! I've only altered cardboard boxes lol, but I absolutely enjoyed doing it. I had needed something to store all my stampin up stamp sets and inks... so that's the only thing I had handy and cheap lol Following along in the blog hop ;0)
