Gifts

Today I went to help out at school, because of my trip last week it's been over a week since I've been in and it was lovely to know that I was missed, the children absolutely mobbed me when they came in after lunch, telling me their news and proudly showing me their 'superhero' costumes (t-shirts we tie dyed last week). We had a lovely afternoon and at the end of the day they presented me with a card and present. The card is so sweet it brought tears to my eyes....

Sorry that the pics aren't great. There was a picture of each child inside. It's gorgeous and I will treasure it. I will miss these little peeps so much, I haven't been working with them long but you sure do get attached, they make me look forward to having my own class so much.
The gift was a beautiful set of earrings and a necklace. I'm gonna wear the necklace to school on Thursday.

I knew that the last week of term would be busy in school but I didn't realise it would be so busy out of school! All I can say is I'm glad I finished the leavers book and a few other things last week! In school today I was asked to create a gift for the teacher that I made the book for. The staff have bought her two tickets for the Prom in the Park (she's a big Barry Manilow fan!) but the tickets haven't arrived so they wanted something to present to her on Thursday. So I made this.....
This is the inside......
I've also been making gifts for the staff that I've worked with. Their very own personalised note books.....
Again, sorry for the poor photos, I didn't realise they were bad til I uploaded them and am far too tired to get up and take them again!
I am also making them a box of greetings cards to keep in the cupboard in the classroom as on several occasions they've realised it's someones birthday and not had a card for them. So I'm churning out more cards than a busy day at Hallmark, or so it feels!

Off for my BB fix

I love these notebooks and I am sure the teachers will think they're great too.
