{Back to School} Let's Roll into School Teacher Gift with Tag Printable

For this year's "Meet the Teacher" night I wanted to create a special gift for Spencer's Kindergarten teacher.  I really like to personalize my gifts so that they can keep them for years to come.  This is what I came up with this year.  Each side is decorated in a school themed image.  I love "play on words" so I created the Let's Roll into School tag because I was filling the jar with Tootsie Rolls.  ☺

I found this square glass jar at Dollar Tree.  I really liked the size and thought of so many ways to decorate it.  Decisions! Decisions!

Here is my supplies.

I wrapped Washi Tape around the outside of my glass jar. 

Works WONDERFUL!

To decorate the outside of the jar ~ I decided to cut out vinyl images on my Cricut and layered them on each side of the glass jar. 

Apple & School Bus ~ Doodlecharms by Cricut

ABC ~ Recess Lite by Cricut

Chalkboard ~ George and Basic Shapes by Cricut

(I used 2 rounded rectangles making one a little smaller to fit inside)

Side 1 with Chalkboard

Side 2 with Apple

Side 3 with School Bus -- personalized with School Name!
Check out my "blingy" hubcaps - (love)

Side 4 - ABC letters

I filled a plastic treat bag with yummy Tootsie Rolls and tied various ribbons to close the top.

Here is the tag I created to go along with the gift.   I attached it to the bag of tootsie rolls using red & white twine.

Feel free to download this free tag and use it for yourself.

{Personal use only please} 

Right click and save as to your computer.  
Insert into a word document or other source and print your tag.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project and thank you so much for your comments.  

♥Tracy

My Pink Designers Design Team Day Project - From Your Secret Santa Card

Welcome to the October edition of the My Pink Designers Design Team day hosted by Robyn, My Pink Stamper.  Today the team is creating cards using the Winter Treats & Sayings OR Biggie Christmas stamp sets SO if you are needing a little inspiration to kick of the 2011 holiday season you are in for a treat!

Several years ago, I hosted a Secret Santa gathering at work and it was so- much -fun.  There was about 16 of us so we were able to spread out the spirit.  If you don't know what a Secret Santa is an explanation from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Secret Santa is a Western Christmas tradition, in which members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift. Often practised in workplaces, or amongst large families, participation in it is usually voluntary. It offers a way for many people to give and receive a gift at low cost to those involved.

There are various traditions and ways in which a "Secret Santa" is run. In some variations, as Christmas approaches, names of participants are placed in a hat, and participants draw the name of a person for whom to buy a gift. Along with name submission, each participant may also submit a short wish-list of items from which the gift-giver can choose. There is often a limit to how much can be spent on the present. Presents are then sometimes exchanged anonymously. Many schools and offices do this at Christmas time, often as a cost-saving effort. It usually takes place prior to Christmas because the office and school settings require it. Sometimes people leave hints in cards on desks, others create other special ways to make themselves known. 

For ours….I developed a simple questionnaire that included random questions like favorite snack, candy, scent, holiday season event, collections, favorite places to go out to eat, shop, visit etc.  Then each person drew a questionnaire out of the bucket and that was their person to be the "Secret Santa" for.  Since I was the hostess.  We did set some limits because as you know with every thing you do there is always those who over spend or under spend, over give or don't give enough…..so we all agreed to giving something at least once a week until the week before Christmas then we'd send a little something each day, our Secret Santa's would be revealed at our annual Christmas party for the group.    It was so much fun!!  We really need to do that again……hmmmm….
