What a sweet gift this would be for a teacher or neighbor? What an awesome, thoughtful gesture for someone you care about!

My family and I are still reeling from a death in our family, so I haven't had much time for designing. I did get a quick freebie together for you that I created in honor of our loved one.

Before I show you the freebie, I want to invite you to join us for our current Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Happy Holidays Challenge. Just link up ANY project you create with ANY holiday theme that you created using PPPR files here: http://prettypaperprettyribbons.blogspot.com/p/pppr-monthy-challenge.html for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the PPPR store.

Here's this week's FRIDAY FREEBIE. This file will be available as a free download for one week, then it will be moved to the 99 Cent Downloads section of the store.  This freebie includes SVG., DXF, .JPG, and .PNG files. YAY! Love you and miss you, Jordan...always and forever!

Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to come back this weekend for more PPPR inspiration.

Teacher Gift

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is Michelle from Purple Monkey Moments, and I am excited to share the project I created for today.  My kids just finished school yesterday - YES I said YESTERDAY...  I wanted to make a quick project for my daughter's teacher.  Here is what I came up with:

This was the fastest teacher gift I have ever made!!  AND it's awesome!!  I used the  Fancy Pillow Box 2 Cutting File.  It perfectly fit 20 beautiful pencils, and it has a fun label that I used to stamp some cute sentiments.  I think I make this every school year as a First Day of School gift for teachers.  Is there a better way to start the year than with new pencils?

You can see all the details of my project HERE.  I hope you are all enjoying some beautiful summer weather!  Be sure to come back tomorrow for more fabulous projects.
