Fall Teacher Thank You Gift

Yeah its Fall Y'all!!

I feel like I say this every year, but it truly is my favorite time of year in the South!  The trees are full of fall colors and we are blesses with beautiful weather.  The temps are cooler in the mornings and evenings with warm sunny afternoons.  Its hard not too feel excited with the beautiful weather and the holidays approaching.

I wanted to share with you these very simple and inexpensive Fall Teacher Gifts. We are so blessed to have my kids in a wonderful public school filled the most amazing staff.  I love doing things for my kids teachers because they give them so much in return.  This fall we are sending in the cute candy apothecary jars full for fall goodies.  A very expensive gift to let you teachers know how much your appreciate them.

I originally saw these jars on this Pinterest post about creating apothecary jars for only $2.  I knew this was a project I wanted to do with my kids.  They were super excited about it because they used their allowance money to purchase the supplies at the dollar tree and help make these cute teacher treats.

 

I thought it was a very cute and simple teacher gift to let them know how thankful you are for them.  You can fill the apothecary jars with any kind of goodies, from homemade to store bought. After they were filled we used some cute ribbon and thank you tags to personalize the gift.

 

 

  All you need is a candle stick, a jar with a lid and glue, I found out the hard way that you need to get a special glass glue. I would suggest using E-600 glass glue.

 

 

I created some thank you tags, that I printed on cardstock. I used my 2.5" circle punch to punch out the circles.  Then I used coordinating scrapbook paper and my 3" scallop  punch to create the layered looked. I glued the  two circles and used a hole punch to attach it with ribbon to the apothecary jars.

 You can also personalize it with your child's name.

Halloween Party Printables

Hi So Cute Party Fans! Can you believe Fall is just around the corner?  I have to admit I am really looking forward to cooler days, to wash away some of this Georgia humidity.  Fall is my family's favorite time of year! We love everything about fall, the weather, the food, the football and the holidays. Just the thought of fall puts me in high spirits! So with fall just around the corner I thought I would share with you this Halloween Party Pack.  Its packed full of everything you will need to have an amazing Halloween Celebration.

 

  This printable party pack is "Halloween Themed" The  the above files are designed as print files.  You can print them at home or take them to a local office supply store and have them printed.  I suggest to print all the files on heavy duty card stock.  This party pack includes: 2 styles of cupcake wrappers, 3 styles of food tags, 4 styles of bottle wrappers, 2 styles of treat bag toppers, 4 different 2" party circles.  Also included is the Halloween Subway Art and Happy Halloween bunting banner. 

 

You can access The Halloween Party Pack files below!

All you need to do is download the files, print and start crafting!

 

To construct the banner, you can use several methods.  My method of choice is to cut the pennants, then hole punch each corner and thread ribbon to string it. I use matching ribbons between the pennants to give it a finished look.  I have see others sew, or hot glue them to string.  You can even just cut out each pennant and attach it directly to the wall or table.  

To make the cupcake toppers you will need a 2" circle or  a 2.25" scalloped circle punch.  My favorite punch for toppers is the 2.25 EK Success! I Cut the party circles into strips then punch out the designs. You can use a larger circle or scalloped punch (2.5 inch or larger) to give the toppers a layered look.  I attach my toppers to candy sticks with hot glue, but you can use toothpicks as well.  You can also use the party circles to dress up treat boxes and table decor.

 

 

The bottle wrappers are super easy, just print as many as you need and cut them into strips, you can decorate water bottles, coke bottles etc... You can secure them with double sided tape or hot glue.

 

 

 

My treat bag toppers work well with the  Wilton Clear Party Bags size 4x9.  I love to fill ours with Candy Corn Bark.  If you haven't made any yet you must try it.  Here is a link to recipe we use.

You've Been Booed!!!

Halloween is one of our favorite Holidays in our house, and of course one of our favorite things to do is "BOO" our friends and neighbors.   I created some free printables and easy instructions so you can spread the Halloween fun!

Boo Signs available for download at

Gather all your supplies:

12*12 Card Stock

Ribbon

Glue Gun

Hole Punch

I hit the Dollar Store and Michale's to stuff our "Boo" Treats.

We also haded some Halloween Candy too!

I rolled the cardstock to create a cone, then I hot glued the outside

 to make it secure.

After I had my cone I hole punched the sides and added some ribbon for hanging and some embellishment ribbon to dress up my cone. Then I filled the cone with all the treats and the "Boo Sign" and Instructions.

Green Army Men Camo Party



When my son came to me and wanted to do a laser tag party I was so excited not to have a party not at my house this year. However it became a huge challenge for me to make a very small party room still look good despite the small space.  After a quick visit to "Urban Jungle" I was so excited about the Green ArmyMen/Camo Theme!  I hope you enjoy the photos!    My wonderful friend at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sweet-Sinclairs-Cakes-Cupcakes-Cookie-Cake-etc/101429323237291
