Teacher Notepad Gift Sets

 I've had a lot of school themed papers lately and with Christmas just over the horizon I have already been thinking of Teacher gifts. I'm one of those people who carry a note pad with me to write things down all the time. When I travel I take notes in a note book.

I've made up a bunch of these not only for the kiddo's to give their teachers, but I'm heading off to a craft fair in a few weeks at a local high school and thought these would be a neat gift set package.

I've got the tablet, the book mark, and the matching pen in this set. 

 I've tied them all together at the binding and attached a gift card that is blank inside to write an note. All the teacher has to do is pull the string tie on the gift card and the book mark and pen will slide out with the card. So you don't really even have to wrap it if you don't want.

I've added these to my shop, too.

As always all my books include a free personalized name card on the front of the cover. These tablets are no exception, so you could easily have them personalized with your child's teacher's name.

Glamour Never Sparkled More

It never hurts to add a little glitz to any event, especially with this dazzling new guest book albums in black, gray, and white!  Can you say...party?

These make me think of New Year's Celebrations and Graduation. Perhaps it's the black and white with the sprinkle of glitter and gray that inspire that thought, or maybe the eye catching patterns. I don't know. I'll let you decide.

Each cover is sparkling with silver glitter. Inside white heavy white pages and gray card stock await your personal attention.  I've slipped in matching pens, and have decided now through March to include pens with all my paperback guest book albums and journals.

 Bridal shower? Graduation? Prom celebration? Anniversary? Bachlorette party? What do you think of the new glamour covers?

Journaling Pens

Yesterday the kids and I engaged in a little creative outlet. Instead of playdough, we grabbed some polymer clay, Bic pens, and our imaginations. We spent much of the day rolling, shaping, and baking our masterpieces. Chad, my husband, was kind enough to help in the process of pulling out the ink part of the pens while we made them.

The pens pictured above are what we came up with. The marbeled ones were done by my son and the striped ones were by my oldest daughter. I'd like to say my youngest daughter had a hand too.  A hand in everything...lol..

After all, one must have a pen to write in their journal right?

This one is my favorite, but as you can see the "holder" part isnt deep enough so at the slightest touch the pen falls out. But as they say, "you live and you learn." Next time we'll know better to make that part a little taller by our lady bug on a leaf. Isn't the lady bug cute?

We were,,however, at least successful with this little rose pen holder and flowered pen set as you can see below.

Well, I'm all out of pens for now...

Don't forget to keep journaling!
