That is a cute idea! I agree that some schools and other workplaces, can make it so hard these days to add personal warmth to a classroom or office. Because so many of my close friends are teachers, I heard early on to avoid anything that says "teacher" on it. My bestfriend had a large box filled with "teacher" ornaments, mugs, suncatchers, etc. Gift cards are much appreciated, though. A heartfelt letter is another special, treasured gift. Along those lines, my friend who's a grade school counselor joked one day years ago, that while teachers are always remembered, she'd only gotten two gifts her entire career. After that, I've always made sure that I gave our own school counselor and my DD's bus driver a small gift at Christmas and at the end of the school year. Lynn

Sorry I don't have a picture. Maybe if I can get some things gathered up I could sorta put one together. I'll see what I can do.

why can't I see Glenda's picture? Box with a red X in it :( I love seeing creative ways to give cash. I've done the umbrella (typing money to the inside and when they open it, it's "raining money" and freezing it in a bread pan (cold hard cash)......this year I made a game kind of like a scratch off game. They have to match 5 of the same dollar amounts and they win the total. Little do they know that all of them are the same, so they can't lose. :)
