Teacher Appreciation Desk...



I can't believe that it's been a couple of days since I've sat down to work on some crafts. This weekend, as busy as it was, I decided to clean out my kids' dressers/closets and since then I've been in the cleaning mode. I didn't realize how much clothes my girls had... OMG! Four girls= a whole lot of clothes! So I decided it was time to purge through the clothes that either didn't fit or they didn't wear. Now all I need to do is prep it for donation (along w/some other stuff) and I'll be done! I also noticed that as I stopped by some of my blogging sisters sites, I found out that they have been doing some cleaning as well. Guess it must be that time of the year, huh?

Anyways, let's move on to my project. Since Teacher Appreciation Week at DD2's school is coming up soon, I figured I'd better get started on some gifts. I got the instructions for this desk from Craft Project Central and it was designed by Michelle. I had to alter it a bit since I didn't have the stamp set she used and also didn't have buttons for the drawers. I added in a vase with flowers too (got the idea from Tammy)! When I first saw this desk I was so happy because at that time I was wondering what to make for a few of the teachers... this was PERFECT! Now my next crafting task is to make 5 more of these and then I'll be done!
