Twelve Days Of Christmas Day Six

I bought the 100 ct box of candy canes, made the labels on standard address labels to day "CANDY CANE PUZZLE", and used my leftover paper scraps and the Stampin Up Ornament punch to punch 2 ornaments per candy cane. I used the labels to attach the paper ornaments. The most fun part was breaking the 100 candy canes! I tried to get them in larger pieces so that they could still eat them. I did $100 for about $4.

Twelve Days of Christmas Day Five

I found a great deal on the Pop Tart Crisps at the store so I needed to incorporate them into my holiday. Remember I am doing these gifts for my daughters PFA for 100 faculty members, 12 days, on a budget of $150. The red card stock was creased at 1" on the long side then cut in equal 3.6" strips on the short side. This gives you 3 3.6"x8.5" projects per 8 1/2 x 11 card stock. I staples the small bags in the fold side which is the matchbook side. Once it is stapled you can bend the long side so it catches inside the matchbook lip. I then cut the poems 2.5"x3.25", and the Christmas Paper mat 3x3.5. I stapled that on the fold side so that the matchbook would close nicely. The poem is:

Welcome to your PFA’s Ha Ha Holidays!

Our goal is to make your 12 Days before Christmas,

POP with excitement,

Keep you sweet not TART,

Leave a fun memory CRISP in your mind.

ENJOY!!!

Twelve Days of Christmas Day Four

Holiday Survival Kit was found online and tweaked for the teachers a bit. I simply used a brown bag, Curling Ribbon, green card stock. The poem is:

Happy 12 Days Of Christmas!


Holiday Survival Kit

A stick of GUM to remind you to stick to it.
Christmas Break will be here soon.
A hershey kiss to remind you that you are loved.
Even when your students are bad.
A Tootsie Roll to remind you to roll with each day,
Even if your students have other plans.
A pin to remind you to stay sharp,
Or the students will take over!
A Smartie to help remind you that all kids are smart,
Even though they are ready for break too
A Starbrite remember, you are your students bright star,
Even if all they talk about is SANTA!

Happy 12 Days Of Christmas

12 Days of Christmas Day Three

I got the poem from some other wonderful crafter online. I used some green Christmas paper and used the Top Note Die from Stampin Up. The baggie is a bit small but since Im making 100 items everyday on a $150 for twelve days so we went economical. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Here's the poem:


The Grinch has been here!
He left just one clue...
This little green pile,
Of Grinchy "Pooh".

But why did he do it?
Did he want to get caught?

As the Grinch would say,
"I most certainly did not!"
But Santa and the reindeer
(with nose set on dim),

Landed on the roof,
And scared IT out of him!
He left in a hurry -
Homeward bound,

Leaving little green piles

All over the ground.

12 Days of Christmas Day Two

Another fun one that is super easy. I couldn't find just the red M&M's so I actually divided bags and will be using the green later. The tubes are from Stampin Up, along with the paper tabs. The red pieces of paper are 1 1/2 x 4 1/4 folded in half. I stapled them on the bags and then put the ornament punch overtop. The reindeer stamp is from Walmart $1 bin because i needed something cute and a little funny. I added the ribbon to add some bling to the tab. Only 98 more to make :)

Teacher's 12 Days Of Christmas

The PFA at my daughter's school started a tradition the last 12 days before school lets out before Christmas Break we put a little something in their mailboxes to make the last couple weeks fun. It started as the 12 days of Christmas and have moved onto the 'Ha Ha Holidays" Each day its something different and we usually do 100 faculty for 12 days for about $150. Which is VERY challenging even though I am as FRUGAL as they come :) Here's the first one I did. I go the 10 pack of chocolate coal at Big Lots for $1 and it is wrapped in a little square of red tissue paper with a twine tie. The poem is:
I heard you have been naughty not nice,

And Santa even checked his list twice.
He noticed too much work and no play,
A lot of patience for little pay.

So all the way from the North Pole,

all you're getting is a lump of coal.
