Have you seen all the great gift ideas for Valentine's Day? There are a lot of incredibly crafty women out there. I consider myself crafty but wow, these ladies have got talent! I spent the last couple of days searching for a teacher's gift, but I never did find exactly what I was looking for. It always starts this way, you know where I'm going right?
Yeap, I'll just have to make it myself. A little blooming Valentine gift for the teacher.
The love of learning will always
blossom from a teacher that
helped the student grow.
I'm not going to tell you how many times I edited that statement, just know that it was a lot. I hope it sounds good, what do you think?
Can you believe I picked up this little primose at the grocery store on sale: 2 for $3.00? I expected to be walking out of there with something that was closer to $10.00, but $1.50 for just one. Scored a deal I'd say.
Follow along and you'll see, this is cheesy easy to put together.
See, I told you that super easy. You could use a variety of different things to achieve this same look, and it doesn't have to be just for Valentine's Day. What about Teacher Appreciation Week, or Mother's Day, (different words of course).
I hope you find some creative way to make some as well.
Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie. I'm glad to hear you say that. I was worried it might be a little wordy! Seems to be fine if you go by pins on Pinterest though. ;) Have a nice week!
