Christmas Teacher Gifts

I made the teacher's gifts this year a hot chocolate feast. The brown bag wrapped gift has A Child's Year cut on it. This is the box of Swiss Miss packets. The bottles have chocolate "chips" and marshmallows(steam cut From My Kitchen). The peppermint sticks were wrapped with ribbon and the "stir" cut is From My Kitchen. The inexpensive bag was blinged with a cut from one of the Christmas carts(I've forgotten). They were quite a hit.

I am Thankful

Regina at Bitten by the Bug has a great challenge to create something for the almost forgotten holiday of Thanksgiving. I made Thanksgiving place cards. Each has a different Thanksgiving quote inside and a napkin ring holder. We don't do names for each spot but each person this year will have to read their quote. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey Indian Summer. The leaf cuts are from A Child's Year p.37. The pilgrim hat, feathers and Indian headdress are from Paper Doll Dress Up (Headwear) all cut at real dial size. Ribbons from my stash.

Little Turkey Head

Linda at lindaalbrecht typepad had this cute idea for a little pumpkin head for halloween and using the oh so fun Mod Podge. I altered mine to be more for Thanksgiving because Halloween was almost over. Paper is by Basic Grey indian summer. The cuts for the leaves were from A Child's Year, the turkey head was from Animal Kingdom and the head dress was from Paper Doll Dress Up. Wing feathers cut from cardstock. He's going to look cute on my wall.
