Decorated Paint can...

HOW FUN IS THIS!

I have made these fun decorated paint cans a couple of times to give as gifts. Of course, I put a few goodies in them. They hold anything from baked goods and teacher supplies to hand made note cards and stationery.
You can pick up an empty paint can at your local hardware store. I purchased mine at Home Depot for around $5.

Happy Gifting!!!

Color coordinated gift...

My friends birthday was coming up and I needed something fun to give her as a gift.
Here's a little twist to the flower pens.

Included(all in black, pink, yellow or white) were:
~note cards trimmed with Swarovorski crystals
~clothespin paper clips
~flower pens
~a pen holder made from a terracotta pot

The letters were rub on letters... I love those things!

I topped off the pen holder with a scrap booking embellishment.

Everything was packed into a black, white and pink bag.

My friend LOVED it... this gift will be around for a while.

Decorated Clipboard's

These clipboards were a huge hit with the teachers last year and I had a ton of fun making them. They would also make great gifts for coaches and kids.

I used the schools "rock" theme as inspiration and found clip art online. On the back, I added a class photo along with a photo of my child and the teacher. ~They loved them!

Other possible themes could include:

Thank you for a Dog Gone Good Year.

Hats off to________. (use class photo using silly hats)

Thank you for making us all stars (or All"stars" w/ sports theme)

We are wild about you. (animal print)

Flower Pens and Paper Clips

These Flower Pen and Crafty Cute Paper Clips were treasured gifts by all who received them. Great gifts for teachers, secretary or friends.
