Teacher Gift

Triniti adores her first grade teacher!




So we went to work this weekend on making her something for Teacher Appreciation week.




I picked up a wood box from Hobby Lobby and stained it.




Then mod-podged paper to all sides and added a few stickers.






Triniti wrote her name and year on cardstock and I mod-podged it to the inside of the lid.





She is so excited to take it to her today!

Here's the amazing part of this whole project. I did not eat even one of those Andes Mints when I opened the package and filled up the box. Don't give me too much credit, I knew if I ate one I wouldn't be able to stop and there wouldn't be any left!

Oh how precious and kind and thoughtful. As a teacher myself, you have NO idea how much acts of kindness like this mean to us. Thanks for that! And, whew-whoo on keeping from enjoying those yummy mints. Celebrations all around!

Happy seeing beautiful!
