Teachers Presents

I had a busy day yesterday making clipboards for teachers, yeh you know me leaving it till the last minute to do them when I have known for weeks I want to make the teachers something special this year instead of buying gifts. Have never made clipboards before so that is why I took so long, but thank you Nikki for your help and at least she had a template to cut around the clips on top which made things easier.

These are 2 smaller clipboards I made for the teacher aides, one as a calendar and one as a phone message board. Do love how they both turned out.

This one is for Mrs Brown, Jamie's teacher he has had her for 2 years now and he absolutely loves her. She might not be impressed with the photo, it wasnt the best one of her but I think she has the real teacher look here LOL, and I really like it because it shows they have a great fun bond with each other, but it was the best one of Jamie. I hope she likes it...

These are all the gifts together, I also bought Mrs Brown another gift and I have given Wayne the bus driver and the assistant presents too. Jamie has had Wayne as a bus driver also for 2 years and he loves him to pieced too, well Jamie loves everyone I think...

I also make cards this morning at 5 am, yep 5. Jamie wanted to take the presents to school and give them to the teachers himself, so I said yes not even thinking that I had not taken photos of the cards. Damn I cant believe I did that, so these were the 2 I only have photo's of. These are Mrs Browns cards and she loved everything and was crying when she read the card. This is what I wrote inside

I bet you've tied a million shoes
and dried a million tears
and given out a million hugs,
as a teacher, through the years.
In my child's life, the role you've played
has been a priceless part
and you must know the special place
you hold in my child's heart.

SO the third photo was my photo of the day, have been trying every day to do this but sometimes it is late and MY camera is shit in the dark. Tried taking a photo of the Christmas tree with its lights on and it looked like it was possessed.....
Have been working on my challenge too this week, this is the last one for the term and than a break for a bit, but I want to make sure I do some scrapping while the break is on. I just have to find a last minute embellishment for my page which means heading to the shops to have look, they better still have what I want!
