teacher gifts.

After just a couple of months of having Van in Kindergarten, I have found out that I really like sending little gifts in to her teachers (she has 3 of them, lucky girl!). I think the job of a teacher is so hard, and Van has learned so much already...they definitely are doing a phenomenal job with her!

The Target $1 bins are always a great spot to find notepads, and little containers to fill up with goodies. I love to stop at Kneaders Bakery (yes, I made up with them, I said it was a love-hate relationship) for a good baked item too.

My favorite note so far is definitely this one...

These are brown paper lunch sacks.

You fold them in half, just like they were paper...making sure that the *top* of the paper bag is on the bottom, you will see why in a minute.

Decorate with brads, ribbon, stickers...whatever your heart desires.

We put a piece of cardstock in the middle, and wrote a little note to her teachers. You could definitely just write directly on to the paper sack if you wanted.

I then cut a paper small enough to slide in and out of the *top* of the sack. I let Van decorate it, and put her flare on the card. Staple a piece of ribbon to it...so that it sticks out. Acting like a pull tag.

Done and done.

I love a good and simple craft project.

I have also made these into photo books with multiple brown paper sacks, and put big brads through them to hold it all together. They are adorable and cheap.
