I had an idea in my mind all week... and between all the craziness with the Holiday Gift Shop (contact me if you need info 10am-1pm Fri 11/14) tomorrow am and the workshop tomorrow night...and the PREMIERE of MOONFLOWERART on SAT 11/15 , I never actually made one. I promise I will get a photo up next week.. But I can still share the idea... Why not fill a jar with lots of encouraging word for a loved one? This would make a perfect teacher, spouse, friend (from kid to kid too!) gift! 
Take a small jar like this one we used to fill with bath salts... and make strips of encouraging and loving phrases! (Or whatever else you want to write... ) Write why your teacher is special... or "favorite things!". Type out a whole page, cut into strips Ilike fortune cookies) and roll around a knitting needle (or something else cylinder!). Then add to jar and package it with a little designer paper and a tag that says, "a little pick me up!" or "for a rainy day" - if you wrote rainy day ideas.... I plan on making one for my mom, who at times, really needs words of encouragement. She is very religious... so i plan to add a few strips of her favorite Bible verses. Sorry again for not actually having a photo to share. I will definitely get on it! Hope to see all my local friends at the holiday gift shop. (We will also be selling some MOONFLOWER ART items!). Have a great weekend and hope you'll visit us on etsy on Sat!
