Teacher Gifts

Decided to try to get a head start on the end of the school year festivities.  This time of year is CRAZY for me, so I thought I'd try to start earlier this year.  One of the things I always do is make something for Akemi's teachers.  I remember seeing a desk a few years back, but never figured out how to make it.  Then one day I saw one and thought I could use my SU matchbox die to make the drawers.  It totally worked!


Decided to add some details to the desk... Made a stack of books using foam tape and cardstock.  Also next to the books is mini post its to look like a desk calendar that many keep on their desks.


Do you like the apple for the teacher?  It's two apples glued together. I ran out, so I need to pick up more on my next trip home.    I also made the vase by rolling some cardstock around the flower spray and then adhering it to the desk.


And just wanted to show you that the desk was functional. I think I'm going to put paper clips and other stuff inside the drawers.


Now just gotta make 3 more!
