Teachers Gifts

Today is the last day of school and our family's last chance to say thank you to our teachers. I thought long and hard about how to show our appreciation. We had the traditional go in on a gift card, but I wanted to do a little extra. A long time ago Reagan asked if she could have a domino necklace for her teacher like the ones that I've made in the past. I thought now would be a good time to do it, but decided to extend it to all the girls' teachers. This was the first necklace that I made for Caitlyn's teacher Ms. Hawley. It looked cute, but needed a little something more.

Then I remembered these jars which I had found with Mariah when she was last in town. Notice the Number on the side. I called around town until I found a Tuesday Morning which still had enough Number 1's. After all my kids did have the best teachers in Kindergarten, 3rd and 5th grade. I made the cute topper, naming them The Number 1 Teacher, filled the jar with Hersheys Hugs and Kisses and then tied the ribbon through the necklace around the jar.

Of course right as the kids were leaving Reagan tried to pick up her teacher Mrs. Formby's jar and broke it to pieces. Luckily I had this canning jar on hand and was able to remake the gift in just a few minutes. Pretty cute for a last minute exchange.
