the end of the year gift

So sorry for my absence…I have an upcoming vacation (like TODAY!) and have been catching up filling ALL of my orders from my shop to get them off before I leave!  I can’t have a week where I have NO posts, though, SO I thought I’d share the end of the year gift we put together for my son’s teacher.
A few years ago, I sewed up some paper..and NEVER used it..it was perfect to make into a little bag to carry just a few things in.
I stitched her name on it..
and here you can see the upclose detail of the fabric paper. I love it…I’m thinking of making a cute little blanket made entirely of fabric paper with hand stitching on it.

A stylish little notebook and pens she can put in her bag…with appropriate wording for a teacher, right?!
All wrapped together in a candy bouqet of “Sweet memories”.  My son wrote some of his favorite memories and his favorite things about his teacher. One of the funniest he wrote was “She LOVES cheese!”…when I asked him why he wrote that, he said “I dream about football…she dreams about cheese..that’s how much she loves it!”  Mrs. B….sure hope you love cheese..and if not, hope you got a good laugh! ðŸ™‚ And of course, I thought it was so sweet that he wrote “She made learning fun!”…of course I had to put that right up in the front!
Such a perfect ending to a perfect year!
Next week I’ll be back from vacation with some fun posts to share.
Thanks for stopping by.
