Last minute teacher gift



1. run to target in between cooking dinner and cleaning it up
2. park as close as possible, run to the untensils section
3. pick the cutest/cheapest combination you can find of spoon rest or spoon holder
4. type up this little message
5. print it out on your home printer because i'm sure your not as cheap as me and you actually buy ink cartridges for your home printer/fax/copier.
6. tie on some fab scraps of christmas ribbon ya got lying around
7. eat lots of christmas candy for fuel.
8. tackle the rest of your insane christmas list
and that's it! i promised homemade christmas gifts, but i've yet to make homemade christmas gifts so.......

I love it. My mother-in-law is a teacher and can I just tell you I dont' think I can count the amount of mugs she has in her house. This year I didn't make any homemade stuff either. I made a Henrie family Scooby snack and had the kids draw pictures. One of our favorite things is to eat nuts and hot chocolate. So I made a little scooby snack of it. They have little packs of the Stephan's hot chocolate at the commissary for 50 cents. I also added some Orbit gum as we always have it too because the company sends us a case every year for Christmas. Well they did until recently. Darn economy.

Those are really cute, Mags! I'll have to remember them for next year (this year Kate's teacher sent a list of toys that they would like for their classroom in place of a teacher gift). Thanks for sharing.

That is a good idea. I actually kind of went with homemade and had Tyler make an ornament for his teacher. His teacher is GREAT.

girly girly hurry up and get better! The sales are calling your name! :) The BX was having an amazing sale tonight. They had people in the store announcing over the loud speaker,...for the next ten minutes the all lego items are 50% off, and then Pres and the boys would run back there and you get a special sticker on your items....then for the next ten minutes Christmas items which are already 50% off, are an additional 25%off....run back there and get your special sticker. :)Then they also gave us coupons for $10 off every $50 that you spend. It was so fun. Miss ya! hope you are feeling better.
