Thank You To Our Teachers Hop Day 3

If you are looking for the Royal Purple Freedom Hop, please click HERE.

Welcome to the Thank You To Our Teachers Blog Hop! Today is the last day of the hop.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  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.

I made these nesting boxes for a second grade teacher that my girls just love.  Victoria had her a couple years ago and Emma hopes to have her next year.  Even though she doesn't teach either of my girls, they asked me to make her a gift.  She has only been in the school for a three years now but she is really good at her job and cares for the kids very much
. 

For my final project, I would like to share a clipboard I made for myself.  As I am a teacher of life to my children.  lol  These pictures are from last year's first day of school... 2009.  This was my oldest daughter's senior year.  Each of my girls dressed in different rooms at different times in the morning and when I looked at them all together, I realized they totally matched.  It was so funny because we did not plan it!

I would like to thank all the talented ladies who took the time to create such wonderful projects for our hop.  It means so much to me that you joined Jen and I in this special hop.  I really think teachers do deserve nice presents at the end of the year for all of their hard work.  I hope you were inspired and maybe learned something new from a project or two.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. Don't forget, 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. Please leave a way for me to reach you.  Make sure to hop on over to Kim and Pamela's fabulous blog: http://www.lovebugcreations3.blogspot.com/ next.

Thank You To Our Teachers Hop - Day 2

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. If you would like to see my projects from day one, click Here.

Today I have decided to share 2 different types of clipboards.  The first one is all school theme that I made for one of Victoria's teachers, Mrs. DePalma three years ago.  Even though I did it a while ago, I thought it was appropriate to share today.  When you see the next clipboard, you will see how my scrapping has changed over time.  Big Difference!  lol

The second clipboard is not a traditional school theme in my eyes.  I wanted to due something fun and colorful in a different way.  I hope the teacher will be able to use this in her classroom or at home with her family.  I love the summer colors. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I love comments and new followers.  Thank you to all my current followers for coming back and reading my posts.  I will be giving away 3 blog candies, one for each post of the hop.

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.
