simple. cheap. quick.
of course, i forgot to take a picture of the teacher gifts i made until we were taking them out to give away at school. haha. but i went simple and cheap and QUICK, the latter being almost more important than the first two.
take a cute stamp, and stamp every single page of a jr. legal pad. i got mine at wal-mart. and had i planned better (than the night before), i could have gotten them for even cheaper at sam’s. slap on some cute patterned paper and stick it in a bag with a pen and ta-da!! i think it took me all of 5-minutes per pad.
just a quick bit of craftiness while i mourn the loss of 3/4th’s of my baby tomatoes… apparently, forgetting to water and only being reminded when the soil’s dry and the plant’s wilted is NOT a good thing for tomatoes. and i’m new to this gardening thing, but i think it’s safe to assume that it’s not a good thing for plants in general. haha. in tomatoes, it causes their bottoms to turn black and it’s called “blossom end rot”, which is what happens when you go from extremes in watering (too dry to too wet) so i guess i’ll be watering every single evening now.
lovies, =o) kel

What a simply sweet idea! I’ve wheeled the bottoms of plain white note pads for a music teacher before with music notes. Love how you added the decorative paper at the top of your paper pads too.
And I have a black thumb when it comes to plants, so I probably would have killed off the tomatos too. hey- I’d better go water my flowers I think!
Such a great idea for a quick gift.
Love your guest book! very elegant. love the 4×6 cards, awesome idea!
May I copy this idea? I love it! As a teacher, I would love to receive this as a gift by the way.
