~Thankful for LovingTeachers~

My girls are so blessed


they have loving teachers in their lives.


 I homeschool my girls....and of course I love them. ;)




But, there are others who regularly teach and inspire them with their love and kindness.



Sunday school teachers, dance teachers, and a piano teacher.



Instead of waiting until Christmas...I decided to show my appreciation now.



I don't believe they'll expect gifts this time of the year. ;)




Besides...there was this awesome Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin soap that was a great price...





I cut the tags out with a Sizzix die, added the Papertrey Ink apple die, and used several stamps to achieve the tag. 


I scored the middle of the "book" to add a dimensional pocket for a couple of chocolates.




I got these gifts done before Thanksgiving!




PaperCrafts November 2011 Gallery Challenge is displaying our Thanksgiving inspired projects. 

I chose traditional Thanksgiving colors to express my gratitude to these wonderful teachers.



I pray your day was full of crafty fun also! ;)
