End of Spring Break & a Crafty Gift!

We are officially at the end of our Spring Break here in the Northeast.  It was a lazy week in our house - no major plans - but I feel like it was super productive.  I got this blog up and running, gained 142 Facebook Fans (and counting), have (almost) completed my first GIVEAWAY (you have until Midnight to enter on FB!) and finished a Drake Graduate Course on Differentiation and Literacy.  On top of shuffling the kids around town and the normal household duties - going back to work should be a breeze.  Especially since it's solo week for my student teacher coming up (a blog about her and her awesome ideas is coming this week!).
I have always loved crafts and creating things, so I fell in LOVE with my Silhouette Portrait (craft cutting machine) from the moment I first used it.  I've created a few things for around my house and classroom - mostly organizational vinyl labels - but I really love creating gifts with it.
For my niece and nephew's Easter gift, I personalized some bubble wands and it got me thinking about what a great end-of-the-year gift it would be when paired with a cute tie-on-label and ribbon - and of course, my Summer Reading Incentive Response Journal .  So, I hopped right to it and the result is adorable.  The tag is a freebie in my TpT shop (click on the link) and you can grab the bubble wands in most stores during the summer.  I grabbed mine at Target, but saw them in the Dollar Tree, as well.  So cute.

I also played around with the Portrait and copied a cute Subway Style Art Canvas I saw on Pinterest for the classroom.  This might be a gift - and the recipient might be reading, so I will leave it at that.  But again - a great gift for a co-worker or for the teachers of your own children.  My machine will get PLENTY of use in the coming weeks/months.

What do you give your students at the end of the school year?
