Crafty Gifts

"Pearfect Pair" My fiance Jason loves pears, so this was a fitting Valentine's gift

Birthday glass bottle Cokes

Classroom Crafts



I use mailboxes to collect students' work instead of just a crate.


Such a great Dr. Seuss quote

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year crafts


Glass ball ornaments, you fill them with anything!  Glitter, magazines, ribbon, but my favorite was pearls.


Stacked green paint chip trees.


Love these!  White paint swatches makes awesome snowmen!  Add some buttons and a ribbon scarf or even burlap and you have an adorable name tag or ornament by adding a ribbon at the top.  The hats are made out of other colorful paint swatches or black felt.


Burlap Stockings!  I sewed these with white yarn then added ruffles and a burlap bow to mine and a dark bow to try and make Jason's a little more manly.  I also added a white braided loop to his for a little something extra.  Later I hung a decorative metal letter to each.


My students wrapped my classroom door to look like Christmas gift :)
