semi-homemade student Christmas gifts

I purchased inexpensive hats
($1.50 a piece)

for the kids in my class

and added their names to personalize them.


I used alphabet beads to string their names

and added a silver bell to the very

top
of each hat.


Then I tucked in a * sweet treat *
&

Voila!

An easy-peasy lemon squeezy

Christmas gift for my kiddos

to wear outside for recess on
*chilly *winter days!

  6. Dearest commarade and colleague in teaching.....you are so kind, so sweet and so WONDERFUL to come to my theatre production! And do you know that my husband and I want to try to get those two rodents published? But we were advised to not write more on them on blog for fear that publishers would frown upon them already appearing in public!!! teeeheeee..and that they have done! My friend Penny from Angelsdoor is a sculptor of polymer figurines and she made the most darling Tea Rat for me. She captured his personality that I have created on paper!!! SO MAY YOUR WORDS COME TRUE ONE DAY!! Merry Christmas my dear friend, Anita
