teacher appreciation gift

ETA: Turns out I gave these to G's preschool teachers, not Kev's co-workers. I'm mentioning it because later I'll want to remake these and make sure I didn't send them to the same people again. :)


Last year I was in a mad dash to find something to give to my husband's partner teachers for teacher appreciating week. I was down to the wire and had NO thoughts whatsoever, so I decided to take a spin around Staples in hopes of some creativity jumping right off the shelves into my basket. And it did, in the form of these tiny clipboards. I spraypainted them white and used Mod Podge to adhere the papers (and to add a shiny finish) then attached the notepads and wrapped them up. Definitely a keeper idea!

Today I was going through some old files on my computer and found these layouts. They're from all different times and I had been meaning to post them on here as they were finished but the best laid plans, etc. . .



I don't scrap in chrono order because I am totally moved to action by inspiration, not planning. I don't like to have to finish up a set of photos just to get to the ones I really want to scrap right now. I'd rather scrap a page I'm excited about right this minute and then put them in the albums in order.
