Simple Thank You Jars

159/365, originally uploaded by pikatures.

The last day of school means thanking all of the wonderful teachers one more time for all of their hard work this year.

We took small mason jars and made them into thank you note holder/picture frames and filled them with candy and stamps. In case the teachers wanted to use the jars as pencil holders later we made sure to use pretty double-sided cardstock as our base layer, placed a layer of solid, coordinating cardstock on top and then finally a white piece to hold the art. The teacher's names were written on little flowers that we affixed to the picture and I had SweetGirl write a small note of thanks to each teacher on the bottom.

Very simple, yet hopefully meaningful to each recipient. It was interesting to see what was drawn on each picture, as each was very different. Her music teacher got all sorts of music notes dangling from the ceiling of her classroom on her picture :)
