It's Teacher Appreciation Week next week! Are you ready? Show the teachers in your life some love. We all know there is a special place in heaven for someone who will love, wrangle, protect, guide and manage to teach children--sometimes over 20 of them at a time! I love and appreciate all the teachers that I know. Thank you so, so much for all you do.


Here is a quick and simple idea to put together a little gift for a teacher.

I got an empty, clean paint can from the hardware store and covered it with some trimmed 12 x 12 school-themed scrapbooking paper. I used Mod Podge to adhere the paper to the can, and then put another couple of coats over the paper. You can add ribbons and all sorts of decorative things to the handles-just use your imagination and whatever craft supplies you have. :)

I filled the can with cute notepads, a little book and of course...chocolate!
