...the beloved teacher. This being the last day before the Christmas vacation, Pickles didn't want to show up empty handed. She still didn't have a gift for Ms. S, her wonderful teacher this morning! Being the only non-teacher in a family full of teachers, I once got solid advice from my sister with regards to gifts. "please, don't give me a teacher-themed gift!!" Duly noted. So now we try to make personalized gifts that do not have to do with teaching...
Well, a quick rummage through the craft supply boxes rendered the ingredients for a sweet, quickie ornament.
Materials:
- decorative craft paper (This teacher gives a lot of story writing assignments and Pickles LOVES writing. Her choice was a print that looks like a hand written letter)
- small embroidery hoop
- a letter sticker
- ribbon
Using pinking shears, she cut a circle just a bit bigger than the embroidery hoop. Then she wrote a personal message on the back of the paper.
She placed the sticker on the paper, put the paper in the hoop and added the ribbon.
Ta-Da! Here's Pickles modeling her handmade ornament.
And here's Chief McD photo-bombing her with his best Jimmy Durante impersonation.
Merry Christmas Ms. S!!
