Yesterday was the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week for my oldest son, Ryan. I wanted the final gift to be a bit more.

Monogrammed bag
I think everyone needs a personalized bag. Teachers can't have enough bags for all the things they are working on. For those of you who have been around awhile, you might remember the tutorial I did for these monogrammed totes, last year.

Personalized Hand Sanitizer
A couple of weeks ago Shannon had a bunch of people over for a craft night. It was a ton of fun to work on some teacher appreciation crafts with a group of ladies. I think I might start that in the fall after my move to Ohio.
One of the items that we made was a personalized hand sanitizer. I've had this on my list to make for a long time, but just never got around to do it. Thanks to Shannon, I got it made.

Teacher Cup and Candy
Yesterday's Teacher Appreciation gift is nothing that is overly special in the craft department, but a pleaser I hope.

Yellow Roses - Teacher gift
Last week was beyond CRAZY! We had the boys birthday/goodbye party on Saturday and I took on WAY too much in the preparations. Will I ever learn? (Not likely!) I can't wait to share the party with you, but it will have to wait till next week.
This week is Teacher Appreciation. Each day I will showcase what my son is taking to spoil his teacher. You can never spoil a teacher enough! They do so much that goes unnoticed. Take the time to give back and show some much needed appreciation!
I have lots of cute items to give Ryan's kindergarten teacher. The room mother had a daily list of things to give the teacher. I am trying to follow the list with some additional crafty gifts!
The first day was the teacher's favorite flower; a yellow rose. Well, I knew she would probably get a few bouquets worth and that they would eventually die off. I wanted to give her something that would last and that she could use as a decoration.

Crock Pot Beef Brisket
I have a delicious recipe for Crock Pot Beef Brisket for you today. I love anything in the Crock Pot. It just makes my life easier. Cooking beef brisket has always been a fear of mine. It is one of those meats you don't want to mess up. Thankfully, this is an easy recipe that makes the brisket moist and delicious. I first had this over at our church secretary's home. I was raving about it and I begged for the recipe. She obliged and now I want to share it with you.

Doll Carrier
My sister asked me to make one of her clients a doll carrier. I have never made a doll carrier so I got on Pinterest to research. There wasn't much to choose from, but the ones I did like led me to the book, Oliver + S Little Things to Sew: 20 Classic Accessories and Toys for Children.
Now for those of you who know me, I will attempt to sew anything. Attempt is the key word. I'm self-taught when it comes to sewing. If something is too complicated, I won't try it. Many times, if it is too complicated, I try my own way. What was really nice about this pattern was it was both simple and I could still tweak it to be even easier! The only change I had to make was using more velcro since I haven't taught myself how to make buttonholes yet.
If you want to try a new pattern to make for your little one or as a gift, this is a great one to try. Here is the carrier I made for my sister's client.

Gage's Blanket
Back in the fall I made a baby blanket for my husband's cousin's child, Gage (did you follow that?). This family loves all things camouflage that is why I went with a hunter green. I used my favorite yarn, I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby.
I used one of my favorite patterns. It is from RAKJ Patterns. It is called the Triple Stitch Blanket. I love it as you can use just about any yarn and any size hook. This blanket works up really quickly. You can see another picture of one that I worked up in a bulky weight yarn here.
