Before my twin girls were born, I taught math in secondary school. My students were so sweet and gave me many gifts at Christmas and at the end of the school year. One of the gifts that I treasure most is a book mark from a student named Ian. The bookmark was given to me in 1996 and it is my go-to bookmark whenever I put down my Kindle and I pick up a book. And I think of Ian, which makes me smile. Ian's bookmark was in a vinyl sleeve and purchased at Barnes and Noble.
I need 22 teacher gifts, so purchasing 22 bookmarks at a Barnes and Noble or Books-A-Million is not in my budget. I perused the internet and found these wonderful bookmark sleeves from www.clearbags.com. I combined stamps from both Simon Says Stamp and Technique Tuesday, and Echo Park "Paradise Beach" papers.
On the back (not pictured), I stamped "Thank you for being so awesome" and signed it from the Houck family. I hope the teachers enjoy them and bring them a smile when they think of my two sweet girls.
Happy Tuesday!
