Valentine's Day - Principal's and Secretaries' gifts

Okay, I have been lazy long enough and I need to get this post out there! :) A while back I promised I would post what I created for my principal and secretaries at school so I think I need to keep that promise.

I finally broke out PTI's Tiny Treats: Valentines (Audrey will be so proud of me!) and created some very easy, yet very cute tags to hang on some little pails (you'll see these later).

I just noticed that the little frog's left eye has a bit of green in it. I'm actually surprised I did as well as I did coloring these little images, but I'm glad I did - coloring makes all the difference! :)

I purchased some pails at Target's $1 section and filled each with some goodies (strawberry champagne-scented hand sanitizer (they DO work around sick kids all day, after all!); marshmallow heart; magnetic girly note pad; two little heart containers, each filled with red hots and candy hearts). I clipped the tag to the pail using a magnetic clip that they could perhaps use somewhere in their work stations. :)

Here are the completed projects:

It's hard to make out, but each pail is unique in its decorating!  :)

Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

Those are awesome Ted! How cool that you make them gifts like that! I'm sure they must feel special when you hand those little beauties over.

Your projects are wonderful- I really love how the TT images look on the tag and LL die!!! VERY nice!

Heidi said...

Ted these are adorable and thoughtful gifts! Your tags are darling. I like that you added hand sanitizer ~ it's always a welcomed gift in our building too. Using a magnetic clip that they'll be able to use was brilliant. Nice work!

Emm said...

What a fun valentine gift! The tags are so cute and I like how you attached them with the clips.

Sara Mac said...

Ted, I *am* so proud of you! I love what you did with these images, pairing them with Tag Sale #3, and I love the cute little pails... attatching the tags with the magentic clip is an awesome idea! :)

Wow, they are so cute. I made little gift bags for my son't kindergarten class but nothing this cute. Hope it all goes very well. Don't spoil them too much, they will look for more.

Very, Very Cool! A little green in a frog's eye is meant to be good luck anyways. I bet the gang at school will be totally wrapped in your fantastic offerings. I am totally geared up to give something similiar a go. Thanks for that!
