Full of Gratitude November SSINK BLOG HOP!

 
Welcome to the November Blog Hop over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration!  This month we are creating projects based around "Gratitude". 
 
As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number #1 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - with Darcy at Dj's Stampin' Place  . If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.
 
For me, gratitude can come in small does, i.e., I am thankful and show gratitude for my fresh cup of coffee each morning.  Or it can come in large doses, I am thankful for and show gratitude to my families good health and safety.  Sometimes it can be for in the middle things and that is why my project is for.  I show such appreciation and gratitude for the teachers at my sons schools.  They work so hard, but yet get so little in return.  I am not a teacher at a school but do provide care for children each day in my home and I believe it takes a special person to be around children all day long.  Teachers are there to educate our children, to keep them safe when not with there parents, and to help them grow as a person.  I created this one, but all my sons teachers will get one before Thanksgiving break, a cute little treat holder. 
 
 
Now you could put anything inside your bag:  a large cookie, several small pieces of candy or in my case, three cinnamon apple spiced flavored tea bags.  What teacher couldn't use a nice cup of hot tea.

 
This version is the one my stamp club ladies will be making in December at stamp club.  This one is a little more Festive and Merry and filled with peppermint life savers.
 
 
Thank you again for stopping by.  Now leave some "love" and hop on over to stop #3 with Diana at Stampin' Fun with Diana.  I just know you are gonna love her project.

I love your project! Would you be willing to share directions/measurements? I, too, often send treats or small items to my sons teachers to let them know how much they are appreciated. it's fun to dress up little gifts with handmade bags, etc!

Tricia, I am so glad you like my treat holders. I'd be happy to share the instructions. Its really quite simple. Cut cardstock to 10-1/4" x 4". Score at 1-1/4", 5-1/4" and 6-1/4". The short end you will punch out border design of your choice. there should be 2 panels that measure 4" each and one in the center that is 1". The last 4" panel is the front and where you will cut out the see thru window in what shape you'd like. Other than that, you just hold it up, and insert into your plastic bag what ever treat you'd like. I cut my bag to 5" in length and folded it over and used staple to attach it on each end. Then I folded the top flap over and attached it with foam dimensionals.
