With just a little over 10 weeks until Christmas, it is already time to start thinking about gifts! The more gifts that can be taken care of ahead of time, the easier the holiday season will be. I came up with a really fun idea that can be customized to pretty much any person or occasion called: {Everything} In A Jar Today, I am going to show you the ones I made for teachers!

Teachers spend so much time at school so I tried to think of items that could be used at school. {energy} in a jar Peanuts White Chocolate Hot Drink Mix Suisse Mocha Latte Mix White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Energy Bar Milk Chocolate Truffles {pampering} in a jar Cozy Socks Sunshine Daisy Lotion Sunshine Daisy Fragrance Spray Moisture Rich Hand Creme Soothing Massage Bar Soap Eye Treatment Cream Facial Scrub Lip Balm {refreshment} in a jar Facial Cleaning Towelettes Wrinkle Release Spray Disposable Mini Toothbrushes Tide To Go Mini Pen Peppermint Gum Peppermint Altoids Mini Brush and Mirror Combo ***update December 2011*** Beef Jerky Nuts.

Rita en en hjärtbåge i hörnet av papperet, som på bilden. You will need: Envelope (why not reuse old envelopes?) The inspiration for this craft comes from The Creative Homemaker. How-to: Page Corner Bookmarks. This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM.

Page Corner Bookmarks

I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads. But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Placeholders special enough for the books that are special enough to remain in your culled-out-of-spacial-necessity collection. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley.

For the monster-loving adults in the room, try some googly-eyed paper monster wine charms. DIY vintage bookmarks. No Slip Bookmark Tutorial. I have so many books requested at the library right now! I love books they may be my favorite thing, but bookmarks I have an issue with. I've always been a dog ear person (you know, folding down the top corner of the page to mark my spot). Bookmarks always fall out then I have no clue where I was. But I don't like to dog ear books that don't belong to me (or even some that do). I'm sure you've seen this idea around, I would give credit for the idea, but I've seen it to many places to know who to give credit to!

I love it because it fits all different size books. Sew a length of ribbon around a hair tie, attach a button on the other end (I gathered the ribbon under the button for interest) and your set! By using our thomas sabo chains and dental insurance facility, you can carry your anne klein watches anywhere along with you. Mini Accordian Book. Ruth Bleakley created this sweet tutorial of a Mini Accordian Book recently and was kind enough to share it here with our readers.

Mini Accordian Book

Ruth has started making tutorials on her blog as of late, and also sells her handbound books and journals on her etsy shop, here. Materials: • Scraps of thin decorative paper for covers, • filler paper (this can be regular computer paper or sketch paper) • thin cardboard for the covers (the kind on the back of a sketchpad will work fine) • glue (I use PVA but any white glue would work fine) 1. Cut cardboard covers slightly larger than the size of your accordion, folded up.
