As you can see, my desk is still relatively tidy. It has been 4 weeks now and they say it takes 21 days to form a new habit, so maybe I am now a neat person. LOL That is so never goimg to happen. I thought my desk and craftroom would look much worse when I walked in this morning. I have been so busy and so tired, I can't even remember cleaning up, how sad is that?Yesterday was International Teacher appreciation day. We are having an assembly today where the girls are giving each teacher a little gift.
Traditionally these gifts are really very stupid. (One year we got toilet rolls - because our patience is that long?!) Because I am in charge of the leaders, I had to help them and OK what they wanted to do. Surprise, surprise, the decided on bookmarks. I had the stamps and the equipment, so guess who did the colouring? In their defense, the leader of the Public Relations Committee, did the printing. cutting and pasting. She also found the most beautiful prayer for teachers to go on the back of the bookmark. All I had to do was laminate them and add some ribbon.
Here they are... all 44 of them.
Some close ups. A beautiful shoes, for those who are real ladies. (Guess I won't be getting that one LOL)
Some apples, and lastly, some bookworms.
The stamps are all digi's. The shoe and apple are old ones from before I knew to keep the artists name. The bookworm is one from last month's progessive freebie challenge on PCP. I could not show them before today, so I guess I am way too late for the next lot of freebies (bummer)I have also finally finished those wedding invitations - It only took them 2 months to finally decide on the wording and then, of course, they wanted them within 24 hours!
Have a great day everybody, hopefully I will visit more than 5 of you this week. Thank you to all for your kind comments.
Please remember to visit Julia at: http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ and to join in the fun.
These are great and waaaaay better than loo roll. Well done, that's a big job, they look just fab!

The Year 6 teacher I used to work with would love the pink shoe bookmark - it's her signature colour and she loves shoes, lol! Well done for all the colouring :D

ReplyDeletebeautiful book marks! I love the shoe with the flowers! I saw a real pair of lacey heels here in Spain yesterday and was totally taken in by them...not that I could or would ever wear them. Thanks for sharing. Vickie
ReplyDeleteThese bookmarks are adorable! I would be chuffed to get one of those if I were a teacher.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean to tell me I have to tidy my craft table for 21 WHOLE DAYS to establish the tidy habit ???? That is so NOT gonna happen lol - the table is lucky if it gets a tidy every 21 days :-)
thanks for letting us peek

I think I'd prefer receiving a bookmark than a loo roll, who on earth came up with that one???!! Is that a Christmas card in the making I spy? Hope you're cracking on with them, only 80 days to go you know!!

Hi Tertia, I think you must be right, you've developed the neatnik habit because your desk looks real neat and tidy to me :) The bookmarks are gorgeous ... my favourite is the bookworm and the adage is perfect. Hope you had a very enjoyable day. Elizabeth x #75
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like it's going to be a ton of fun and such nice items this time rather than the toilet paper rolls....too funny! I also have to say I can't remember the last time I woke up singing but I have sat up a couple times in the last week looking out the window to sunshine and warmer temperatures. That made for such better days I have to admit. Thanks for the visit and way to go keeping such a clean desk!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read you're feeling better and those bookmarks make lovely gifts. I'm sure the teacher's will appreciate them much more than loo rolls. Please send the neat and tidy fairy in my direction.
