5 minute DIY - St. Patrick's Day Gift
Everyone has time to create this project. This St. Patrick's Day Gift is a clever way to celebrate. I promise it will only take you 5 minutes to create. I found these mini coffee cups and I knew I must have them. For what? At the time I wasn't sure, but they make the perfect little gift containers for any holiday or celebration. I made this really quick gift for one of my daughter's teachers.
Teacher's Gift: Dipped Pencils + Printable
We love teachers in my house. Teachers wear so many hats - not sure if I could ever be a teacher. Not only do we love teachers, we love the principles, office staff and even the hall monitor! I try to give everyone a little something for the holidays - usually a gift card. But for Teacher's Appreciation Week, I try to give handmade gifts. Not sure if the hall monitor will enjoy these but I think most of my daughters teachers will. I created hand-dipped pencils and a super cute tag to attach.
Supplies:
Pencils
Milk Shake Straws
Painters Tape
Acrylic Paint
2 - Boxes
1. Cut the straws down to 4 inches
2. Cover the bottom of the straws with painters tape.
3. Attached the straws to the side of a box so the can remain standing while dipping pencils - see picture below.
4. Fill the straws with paint
5. Dip straws.
6. Allow the pencils to dry over night, using another box I had on hand, I cut holes in the box so the pencils can dry upside down.

To package, I added the pencils into a bag and attached a cute tag. You can find the printable here.

Creative Bloggers Sharing - Fun Halloween Ideas
I'm so happy to team up with the ladies from 100 Directions and 30 Minute Crafts. I'm lucky enough to get to show off some of my most favorite ways to give small gift or teacher candy gifts for Halloween.
Isn't the printable the cutest thing you've ever seen? These have been deigned by Jen Goode. And you can pick up your copies here
I thought I would keep my projects pretty simple. I grabbed jars from the Target Dollar Spot an I also had left over treat tubes so I went to work. Very, very easy.
Below is my tray all ready....we used the printable to cover jars, candy bars are we even used the printable inside clear tube! (gotta love clear tubes!!) (tutorial for the tray coming soon)

we uses the cute flags on paper straws for the spoooooky soft drinks...
Then we used the candy bar wrappers in the clear tubes - no one an see inside the tube! Super cute! We also used them to cover king sized chocolate bars - I love the packing on this one also. 
The last one is a picture using the printable to top jars - this is so easy, these jars are from Target (Dollar Bin). I just grabbed a couple of hole punches, punched and then just topped the jars using adhesive. Super easy.
I hope you get a moment to click on the link above and print these. Thanks for stopping by.

Back to School - Teacher Gift Guide
OMGosh! I can't believe school starts in one week. My kids are older. As a matter of fact, my oldest is a senior this year and my youngest one, yep a 8th grader! Summer was great, they are able to stay up late. We don't give them a bed time in the summer and they can sleep as late as they want - the life, right? I'm sad my kids are older and I do miss elementary school when I used to spoil my teachers with awesome gifts. Now that the kids are older I don't get close and personal with every single teacher {sad face goes here}
I've searched Etsy and found the cutest teacher gifts....so here it is...
