DIY Teacher Appreciation Gift

I'm pretty new to the blog world and I probably don't post as much as I could, but I love-love-love the myriads of DIY blogs out there.  You could spend hours going from blog to blog.  It wasn't until recently that I discovered a co-worker that sits directly behind me had similar interests.  When I found out she blogged-I knew we would be friends.  Her creativity is so inspiring and her family is so cute!  On her blog she links to several fun and affordable DIY crafts and it got my wheels turning!  We swap blogs all the time and she recently helped me create a personalized blog banner.  Check out Rachel's blog, Life Lessons from Boys HERE.



One of her DIY features is a pencil bouquet basket.  Since Bryce's last day at school was Friday, I wanted to do something nice for his teachers.  It had to be personalized and also something they could use. The Pencil Bouquet was perfect!  Here's my take on it:

It cost me about $10 dollars for all three.  Can't beat that!  Thanks for the inspiration Rachel! 
Her Blog is all about the DIY but just wait-you'll go gaga over this:


How cute is that?  She personalizes these just for your little one depending on the nursery theme.  Don't you want one?  Check out how to get one HERE.
