I've written down cards in my book that i need to make this year!

Also, I'm looking to do a fun project but not sure what. Kristi did the sticky notes last year. We always have the candy bars in a cool wrap, matchboxes, etc. Anyone have any simple ideas, that would be great. I'm thinking for teacher gifts.:nod:

are you thinking of Valentine's gifts or just general purpose? Teacher's love stationery. I saw a really cute teacher gift which was a set of the big bulldog clips decorated. On each clip it had a label like " graded" "filing" etc. For my class I would like them labelled for each subject that the kids have a scrapbook for. Maths, Language, Cooking, Integrated theme work etc. I think I pinned it. Let me go look and get you a link.

okay, I see you call them "Binder clips". I probably would mix the 2 ideas below so that the clips are more decorated like this (http://pinterest.com/pin/104990235032793339/), but have labels and are presented with whiteboard markers and a notepad like this (http://goldilockscreations.blogspot.com/2010/05/teacher-appreciation-kept-me-busy.html) *scroll down to bottom of this page.
I wouldn't go too overboard with the decorating unless you have superglued your embellishments on- they will get carted around and be in and out of the teachers basket/car/cupboard etc and you want them to last. Another thing to note is they need to be functional- so that means if you add embellishments, the clip must still be able to be opened and closed, so make sure you place the embellishments to allow that.
