I knew last week that Teacher Appreciation Day was today but I didn't put it on my to-do list for the weekend, and it didn't get done.
So I was scrambling last night gettin' it all together.
I had made a set of these cards to give to my son's 1st grade teacher on the last day of school. Well since I was unprepared *gasp* they are now for TAD and I'll have to make something else for the last day of school. I thought these cards would be good for her to give to some of her teacher friends - thought maybe it's not something she could just pick up a set of at Hallmark.

And then I packaged them in a Clearly Creative Card Box from Papertrey Ink.
I remembered that at the Halloween party Mrs. Wilson told the kids to bring her some Reese's peanut butter cups the next day.You have to "mental Rolodex" those things. So I made a lil' jar topper.....
...and filled the jar with mini Reese's.
And then made a quick lil' card for my son to write in.
And I was done by 8:30 last night!! - that's even after getting home an hour late because I was hitting all the Walgreens' getting FREE toothpaste - LOL Buy a thing of toothpaste for $4.49 (rip-off!!) and then you get $4.50 off your next transaction. I am a couponing fiend!Have a good one, girls; nice to "see" you!

TOOO cute! I love the box of cards, and that is sure to be a hit. The jar was the bestest idea! ;-) Don't you love it when a "plan" comes together! LOL
Great job on both!
absolutely love it Michelle.
Those teacher appreciation cards are awesome! And I love how you packaged the Peanut Butter Cups. I so have to get that set some day, but it always gets pushed to the side. I love the quotes in it.
These are GREAT Michelle! I actually have that PT set (LOL) and have only used it once. I think you may have inspired me to use it again...:)
That's great that you kept a mental note about the Reese's. She's going to LOVE it.

That turned out GREAT!
Even if you weren't my friend, you would've been one of my favorite parents. It's the little things that count. Oh yeah, and chocolate.
What sweet projects! Fantastic little gifts, love them all.
