staff appreciation gifts 2010

(i forgot i never posted this until i was reminded this past weekend!)

every year i try to do something cute for the staff at mckinlee's school.
a few weeks before staff appreciation at my stampin' up class, we made the cutest things and i decided to go with that for little gifts this year. (i also got a gift card for mck's homeroom teacher and that went into a basket the room mom took care of.)

first up is a little candy bar holder which, i suppose, you could use for a bookmark or something after you've eaten the candy.
it was made with the two-tags die from stampin' up, several punches, patterned paper, etc.

on the back you attach a little candy bar with adhesive.

then i covered water bottles with a strip of paper, attached a cute little cardstock decoration (if anyone wants the instructions i can find those and post them.)and put a crystal light in the pocket.

i got cellophane bags (that ended up being too little) and put the water bottle and candy bar in, tied it up with pretty ribbon and that was that!
these are the ones i did for her teachers, coaches, etc. that are men.

then i did the same thing for the women teachers but with different (girly) papers.

i thought it all turned out pretty cute and everyone seemed to like them!
