Teacher gifts always baffle me. I don't know why, I was a teacher....(wait, maybe that's part of the problem) Plus we have a unique situation. Because our children are all in Spanish Immersion there are only 5 teachers and they rotate through them. So I can't have a standard gift, or they'd get the same thing year after year. (We've had one awesome teacher 4 times just between Kaylee and Zane.)
The girls on the blog made this gift look so cute and so fun to make that I just had to give it a try. I think they came out cute and I would have liked one of these so I think they're winners.
And when you open it, here's the inside.....
Mia's teacher on the other hand is man. So I didn't think he would fancy and pretty ribbon box. So he got a book and chocolates instead. He and I had a conversation one day about books and I asked if he had read this book and he hadn't. So I thought maybe this summer he could fit it in.
*****Book PLUG*** This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's a true story written by two men. One is a modern-day slave(son of a sharecropper) who grew up in North Louisiana. He meets a man who is a wealthy business man and art dealer. How their paths cross and the effect they have on each other is astounding... but you'll have to read it to find out.
Same Kind of Different as me written by Ron Hall and Denver Moore
