The third Rice Krispies Making Memories challenge is currently under way and Team Phoenix and I have been working like crazy to create an awesome Halloween recipe. I can’t wait until we get everything together and photographed so I can share.
I wanted to drop in really quickly and show you the birthday gift I made for my daughter’s preschool teacher. This is the third year she has taught one of my kids and the third year I have given her a gift. It is getting challenging coming up with new ideas!

I decided to go with a pencil vase and use engraved pencils. I found a squarish glass jar and attached the pencils with scrapbook adhesive and a big rubberband. My thought was that they can come off and be used as pencils or just leave them on for a fun jar at school.

Here’s a shot I turned on it’s side so you can see the pencils a little better.

Here’s one more fun shot on the corner so you can see both sides.

I found this cute #1 Teacher tote bag at Walmart and seeing as I couldn’t very well put a filled flower vase in a bag, we bought some yummy Russel Stover’s chocolate to go with the vase.
We really appreciate our kids teachers and I love getting the opportunity to show them how much we love them!

Okay, I have to get back the grind stone. I’ll be back in about a week with our Halloween Rice Krispies Recipe!
