The last day of speech therapy is tomorrow, I can't believe that two years and over 300 new words, Hailey will be a kindergartener the end of the summer!! We had to get our small gift bags ready. I didn't have mason jars and well, I had to make eight total this year for the teachers. I did however have the Avery printable bag toppers with bags from when I was going to sell things on eBay.

I wrote the little poem (one part on each side) and printed them out. Then distributed a 54oz bag of
M & M's between 8 bags. Then I sealed the bags, and added the labels.

 "Green is for the inspiration you give each day
Blue is for the patience to show me the way
Orange is for your warm and caring style
Yellow is for the way you make me smile
Red is for my life that you have touched this year.
You're a very special teacher and like this bag (or jar) that's clear"

On the other side:
You're a "Magnificent" and "Marvelous" teacher
Thanks for being my "M & M"
Love, (or from)


Then they each go into a bag, with the card we printed and the cross stitch we made

Teacher appreciation week is upon us. If you're following me, you may already know about the coffee cozy I made. Through donations made from the parents I bought a gift card to Peet's coffee for our teacher. I just needed a nice way of displaying the cozy and the card. I saw the pin and decided to use the idea.  I took a clear cup and stuffed it with some brown paper. I had thought about putting the gift card inside, but didn't want her to think that the inside was empty and toss it out. So I taped the card to the straw and pulled the coffee cozy on. It will go inside the gift bag I have for her.

 So I have been working on these teacher cross stitches since the beginning of the school year! I had to make 9! I also added some candy inside.  I really hate buying expensive bags when half the people I know just toss them out. So I saw this on pintrest and had to use it. I went to the original bloggers site, printed the tag, wrote inside, cut it out. Then I added a hole punch through it and a brown paper bag, tied it off and I was done!
