Well, I am behind on crafting, so instead I thought I would give you all some inspiration. Teacher Appreciation Week is sneaking up on us. It is May 7-11. For us in Tennessee the end of year is before Memorial Day weekend so I thought I would share with you some unique gift ideas. Show some love to our teachers!!

Year End Gift Ideas

DIY kinda girl made this beautiful monogrammed wedding gift and I thought it would be perfect for a teacher gift. I have bought all the supplies but just need to make it. I hope she isn't reading this post but if she is, oh well. I hope she loves it! I went to her Facebook page to figure out the year she got married, sneaky ;)

Another great gift idea that you could make is a Monogrammed door mat. At Home in the northwest shows us how to make one.

Brooklyn Limestone shows us a great way to spruce up a plate from the Dollar Tree. Maybe it would be fun to get all the kids to sign it and put in the middle of the plate, Thanks for Teaching us 2011-2012. If you could find out her favorite lyrics to a song or bible verse, that would be even better.
