Gifting

It's day 2 into the last week of school for my kiddies. The year has just flown by. Jarred is at his High School full orientation day today. I still can not believe he is off to High School next year!! I pray and hope that next year will be his year - where he finds his niche and his feet - where his social difficulties will be overcome as he embraces the challenges and routines that High School brings - That he will soar. He has had such a tough year this year and I truly hope next year will be a new beginning for us all.
Ethan is feeling a little trepidation in finishing Prep and starting year one. He will be fine, and the teachers are already supporting him in transitioning. Miss Mikaela is a chameleon...she will just cruise on in and be fine wherever she is put next year :)

This is a layout of the Divine Miss M in that less than divine picture I posted a few days ago LOL. I am on a mission to use up the collection of Scenic Route papers I own ...

This is what I made for a little girl Mikaela is in a Secret Santa swap with (Attention LSBS girls...this may be your child's gift!!!...turn them away!!!!Hehe.) It is a little fabric covered notebook and gel pen roll. The little fabric roll unrolls to reveal..................................................................
This :) The gel pens are little mini ones, just perfect to throw into a little handbag or tote. I sure hope she likes them!!

These are some pencil holders I altered for a few of the kid's teachers. I filled them with lovely coloured pens and wrapped lollies..........

.....and fabric covered notebooks for a couple more (the Geisha one is for Jarred's japanese language teacher)................

............And a mass of tins filled with choccies and treats for the support teachers. Jarred has had many support teachers during his primary school years and we wanted to say a little thanks to them. Many of them never receive gifts, so these were well received :)

I feel like I have been making pressies forever! It feels good to be able to give things we have made though.

Better go and try to put my crafting stuff back into order. It looks like Spotlight has exploded in my dining room!!
