I volunteered to put together a little gift bag for teacher appreciation week. It will be given away in a drawing for a teacher at Chandler's school. In my mind it was way cooler than it turned out so I hope whoever wins it doesn't think it is too stupid. It's the thought that counts right?
The container for the whole thing is a little placemat purse. . . a great size for a few library books or I am envisioning a little holder for a homework project a teacher could send home with the kids. (I used to do little writing assignments that the kids did with their families that we rotated within the class and this could house something of that nature.)And since I've been a little into decorated notebooks, I had to throw one of those in. . . .And a few magnets for the chalkboard/whiteboard. Or I used to use them on my metal door frame for no-name papers, reminders etc. Then a book mark. Seemed appropriate for a teacher. . .
A bottle of hand sanitizer. . .can a teacher have too much of this around these days?? I think not!
Some little binder clips. . .again just seemed kind of teacher-y to me! A hall pass made from a box of crayons (Put eyelets in the side and attached a ribbon, filled it with styrofoam and sealed with Mod Podge.) At that point the contents seemed like just a bunch of trinkets so I made a little gift card holder (for Applebees) and threw in a bag of truffles.
Hope whoever wins it can get a little use/enjoyment out of it. . .if not, I guess it is all good prize material!

Oh my, you have done it again. I love anything you do. Any teacher will love this. I wish you were still in Preston.
What an adorable idea! I taught school for 9 years before having my baby last year, and I would have loved to have gotten a bag like this. So cute!
I know I would love to get it! You will make another teacher really happy though. :)
You are always so creative!! Love what you made!
If what was in your mind was cooler than this, I'd like to see the mind version. I think it's really cute, and much more unique than anything they could have just gone and bought at the store. Thanks for supporting our teachers.
