Bless the Teacher!

Sitting around yesterday I thought I would do up some little gifts for Aimee's teachers who have been such beautiful teachers for Aimee, especially since this year has been a struggle for her. I just wanted to say how much I truly appreciated their patience & understanding so here's a little snapshot of what I did...

I've been buying the Better Homes & Gardens mag's lately - such good ideas in them & this issue I found some really cute free chrissy paper which I used to theme the gifts.

I also keep little bits & pieces in a gift box incase you have that unexpected birthday you need a gift for... so all I had left in my box were 2 little bottles of AVON hand & body cream so I wrapped them first in the pretty paper.. and then went ahead with making two matching cards with just some paper and bits & pieces I found in my scrapbooking box! Aimee wrote inside and drew some pictures & I wrote a little heartfelt message to her teachers...

To finish off the gifts the kids and I made some simple biscuits which the kids cut out cute chrissy shapes... I burnt the first lot so lucky I'd made a double batch!! I ended up even having enough left for the playgroup chrissy party today!

So I then wrapped them in some pretty silver celeophane, attached the little hand cream with ribbon at the back & then finished them off with a cute little flower which matched the cards....

I love how they were all matching and I didn't even use red & green, the purple just looked sweet with the green :) Thanks Better Homes!

Aimee was so proud giving her pressy's to her teachers this morning :)

Heres Aimee all ready for her last day of year one with her new dress I made her! Cute as!
