Happy Monday! Today is my last day of summer vacation. I have meetings this week, but I am going in today to have a team meeting with my wonderful kindergarten team. This year I am team lead and I wanted to share my appreciation with some beginning of the year gifts.
Teaching all day can be tiring and at the end of the day it's not unusual for some of us to forget to drink water. I have two HUGE water cups that I bring to work every day, but it never hurts to have more. I added vinyl to these mason jar cups for my team mates. Hopefully we will all stay hydrated this school year.
The next part of their gift are some goodies from my favorite place... Target!! I just packaged up some of my favorite dollar spot finds and closed it up with some washi tape.
This past week I went into my classroom and set everything up. I wanted to be able to relax this week and focus on lesson planning this week. I have been creating custom stickers for my Erin Condren lesson planner and I have fallen in love! I am making more stickers that are specifically for teachers and I will be releasing them later this week. If you want to see them for yourself, you can visit my Etsy store HERE.
I am linking up with Tara for Monday Made It. If you have made anything this week, feel free to link up as well.

Those stickers look amazing! You are making me want to get an Erin Condren Teacher Planner! Those mason jars are such a thoughtful gift. We tend to forget to do important things like drink water throughout the day. These personalized gifts are perfect :-) I love working with vinyl!
ReplyDeleteI am loving it so far. I have already been using the calendars and note section. It is so nice being able to have everything right in front of me.
DeleteVinyl makes everything fun! I need to remember to drink water this year. Maybe with cute lettering I will :) Love your crafts.
ReplyDeleteIt does and I love how it makes everything you have just a little more special.
DeleteI am going into my room this week to set up so I can focus on planning. I don't have an Erin Condren, but I do have a planner and I love stickers! I will have to check them out. You are sweet to make something for your teammates. Now I'm thinking I need to do something for mine too!

I love the fact that stickers can be used in any planner. You can even use stickers in a notebook to help you plan. Who knew that I would have fallen in love with stickers so much!
DeleteI have an Erin Condren planner and would love some stickers that have subjects and times. Yours look awesome! Would you mind emailing me when you have them ready in your store? janiefahey@gmail.com I want to get a few little gifts together for my team, too. I am hoping to get that done next week since we go back for meetings and pd Aug. 10th.

Are We There Yet?
Absolutely! I am also thinking of adding editable versions in my TpT store for teachers. Due to clip art terms of use, I have to sell physical copies, but since those are completely designed by me, I will be able to have some digital stickers available too.
DeleteYour gifts are so thoughtful! I need to get on that too! I usually have my act together (team leader going on 3 years??? I think...lol) anyway...I wish I had one of those cute letter making machines....might be a must have soon;) LOVE anything planner!!! Thanks for linking up:)

My gifts were totally last minute. I probably should have started on them earlier, but they got done!! :-) You NEED a machine. I have a Cricut and a Silhouette and I love them both.
DeleteI have a cricut, but I haven't ever used vinyl in it. I would love to hear how it sticks and such.
ReplyDeleteKovescence of the Mind
I used my Cricut to cut the vinyl and it cuts it perfectly. I can make a tutorial sometime this week on how I made the mason jars so you can see how the Cricut works.
DeleteHow thoughtful of you to make a little back to school gift for your team! What a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is my first year as team lead and only my second year at the school. I am the youngest one on my team so I just wanted to get the year off to a good start. They were a hit!
DeleteWhat a cute and simple gift idea! I love that Mason jar idea! I really need a Silhouette in my life. I'm still using a Cricut...and, it's an old one at that. Ha! Your planner stickers came out great! Happy planning!

Primarily Speaking
I was looking all over for cups or jars to buy. Then I remembered I already had the mason jar mugs at home. All I had to do was buy the drink top, straw, and top. Everything else I already had. I have both the Cricut and Silhouette. I used the Cricut for my vinyl and my Silhouette for my stickers.
DeleteI love the style of those stickers! I'm just in love with the cursive font on black!
ReplyDeleteI'm also working on teammate presents but it will probably be a month or so before I post them-- have to give them away first!

Thank you! It's so much easier being able to stick a sticker on instead of writing the subjects every week.
