Wow, were did last week go? I have been so busy with the preparation for school to start there was hardly time to be creative, but I managed to squeeze a little bit in. I put together "welcome" baskets for all the new staff members. Our school is growing by leaps and bounds this year and when I started at the beginning of the week we had eight new staff members and by Friday I was preparing gifts for eighteen! It is SO fun to meet new people and get caught up in a brand new teacher's excitement for their first full time teaching experience. The welcome baskets have a variety of goodies including pens and pencils, hole punches, tape, a school shirt, candy (chocolate) of course:) and I made each of them a welcome mini notepad with the school's initials and our mascot, the raven.
I have seen these notepad at various spots around the blog-sphere but most recently here at Mish's place. Visit her blog to see some of her awesome work. I did these assembly line fashion so they went together very quickly.
I'll talk to you again soon. Have a wonderful Monday and an amazing week!
