This hop is all about TEACHERS!!!!!! I'm sure each of you has a wonderful memory about a favorite teacher (I know I do)!!! It takes very special people to be able to teach. My oldest is starting first grade, so I'm a little new to the whole teacher gift thing, but I had a great idea!!!! Unfortunately, I'm afraid you might be a little disappointed (just in me). Let me show you what I have so far and explain . . .
First - I really like this idea. Three of the four sides of this container are painted with chalkboard paint (found at WalMart) and I Mod Podged the yellow paper on the last side. On the yellow side I was going to put the teachers' name (this is where the problem and disappointment come in). I was hoping that I would find out who will be teaching my child . . . no letter yet. So I thought I would just create something about A+ teachers or something . . . well, it looks like my Cricut is going on the fritz. NOT GOOD!!!!!! Well, when those ideas didn't work I started looking through my stuff for any school type stickers . . . nothing. To top it off we live about an hour from any sort of craft store (or even a WalMart). :) So, I hope you get the general idea. :)
Your next step is Christine at Scrapbooking Technique. You'll love to see what she has created for you (She's so super talented)!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure you visit everyone (like I said, you'll love the candy)!!!! Here's the line-up in case you get lost! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!!!!!!
Big thanks to all of those amazing teachers out there!!!!!!!! :)

Super idea using the chalkboard paint! I have the same problem as you, I'm miles away from the craft stores (my husband would say it's a good thing.)
Like the ribbon used.

Such a cute idea! I love the idea of putting the teacher's name on it. (BTW...We don't find out who my son's teacher is going to be until two days before school starts! Ugh!) Thanks for sharing!

This way she can write reminders on it. As teachers it always seems like we have a list of things to do and get done.
Very cute

I have always wanted to try chalkboard paint. I am sorry about your cricut. I hope it will work or you find one for cheep.
Big hugs

I love it. I have one suggestion when doing something with chalkboard paint. Give the recipient some dust free chalk. I never use a chalkboard because I am allergic to the dust. Some students in the room may be allergic too. The dust free chalk could be a lifesaver. :)

It is a very good start. Teacher can write a note to herself on the sides of the box. Have you purchased your kids' school supplies? Maybe you can find some items there to use. Or you could make some little note cards for teacher to use.

Love the idea about chalkboard paint. Just got my daughter's teacher letter this afternoon - it was almost 5 PM?! Everyone ELSE had gotten their letter already. Anyway - this will be a great gift for your son's teacher -whoever he or she is. ;) TFS!
It can still be a great idea. Hope you're able to get some letters for it. I'm sure the teacher will appreciate it. Smooches... Felicia - frankleecrafts [at] gmail [dot] com

Keep the idea and you'll get that project done. Believe me we have all been there. Provo craft is fantastic to work with 1-877-7cricut. They just replaced my gypsy that was fried during updating at no cost they even covered S&H.

Great box and I look forard to your finaly product...just means stopping by again anther day..sorry about your C on the fritz
Love that little box...You'll see it all works out for you when you find out the name of your child's teacher and learn a little bit about them...There's nothing better than a personalized gift with some reall THOUGHT behind it. Any teacher would be proud to have this on their desk (wait...I don't use a desk in my classroom!)
