All in a Row
I finished all of the year end teacher gifts this morning. Each teacher will receive a knit dishcloth with an apple motif, and a set of 6 monogrammed notecards. I used plain kraft gift bags from Target. To dress them up a bit, I stamped a swirl in the corner in Brick Red chalk ink and then overstamped in white chalk ink. I love the folksy look this gives on the kraft bag, and it's a super simple way to dress up the bag and make it look more cohesive. Here's a close-up:
I made a simple 3x3 card using the PTI Little Lady set to write a note of thanks to each teacher. I really like these and I hope the teachers will too!
Now I'm working on finishing the PIF's I gave away on my blog last week. Dawn's scarf is nearly 1/2 done and Susan's hat is about 1/2 done too. I'm hoping to post pictures soon.

i love the whole idea and especially the cool bags. And by the way, happy 40th. I love the decade changing year for birthdays. I loved turning 20, 30, 40, then 50...next year I get the 60th and look forward. You look very good for 40. Must be all the happy knitting and stamping you do ...that and blogging.
Where did you purchase those craft bags?
