Thank You To Our Teachers Blog Hop -- Day THREE -- and Giveaway!! :)

Welcome to the "Thank You To Our Teachers" Blog Hop!!


If you have arrived here from Lori then you are on the right track.  If you just stopping in from your blogger dashboard or reading this via email and want to hop along with us, be sure to CLICK HERE and start from the beginning cuz the beginning is a good place to start!! :)

This is the final day of our week long hop posted on 3 separate days.  (June 5th, June 8th and TODAY)  Please make sure you visit all 3 posts to see all of the wonderful inspiration for teacher 'Thank You' gifts!! :)  Remember to keep an eye out for BLOG CANDY along the hop as many participants will offer some yummy goodness for you to WIN!! :)

For my final project I chose to make a candle holder -- perfect for a battery-operated votive/pillar candle... 
I repurposed a small glass jar and used Mod Podge to attach the base paper layers...  And added some clear rhinestones for bling. :)
I cut the apple at 3" and the #1 Teacher at 2.5" from the Making the Grade Cricut Cartridge... 
I filled the jar with some glass beads (star-shaped here) to hold the votive in place...
I hope you have enjoyed my project for today...  I have many new projects planned for next week, so I hope to see you back soon...  In the meantime, don't forget about my BLOG CANDY for this hop....

I think my fondest school memories are when it would rain. I don't know why but, I just loved when it rained when I was at my elementary school and now my son goes to a similar elementary school and when I go there and it's raining, it's nostalgic for me for some reason!
