Really cute teacher gift idea!
Comments (6)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...See Moreteachers gift
Comments (8)I would think twice about spending that kind of money on a mug for a teacher. I know many teachers, both elementary and secondary, and all of them say that they receive too many mugs at Christmas. One teacher I know received 5 from her students one year. A much more appreciated gift would be a gift certificate to Office Depot or a teacher store or a book store. A Catholic High School where one of my children went had a school wide collection for the teacher's Christmas gift. The money was totaled up and every employee from the principal to the part time janitor received some money -- all an equal amount. It was done by the PTA. The teacher's loved it. Another school had the room mom take up a collection, and the teacher received a very nice gift certificate to the mall. She was thrilled!...See MoreJewelry Bags...
Comments (23)Oh, thank you for posting this. I have one I've had for a number of years - over 20 - and I USE it! The person who made it (now deceased) refused to give me directions. I was skeptical, but have proven it over & over, that a chain necklace, gently dropped into one of those pockets, will not tangle ~~ how nice when going somewhere (vaction, weekend trip, anywhere). I really like it. To help me (I'm more visual, too), I copied your directions into my personal folder for things like this, and then spaced it out between steps. That helps me keep track of where I am & what I'm to do next whether it's trying to sew or bake. I've printed the pix of the finished product, too. "surely" I can make one :-) or 2, or 3, or ??? Don't have a serger so I'll have to sew/turn the fabric. Again, I thank you so much for posting the directions....See MoreTeacher gift idea
