Notes of Appreciation for that Special Teacher

The last time I asked a teacher what she would suggest for gifts, she said “consumables” — things that will get eaten or used up. So, let’s just say that it’s a pretty sure bet that these Smarties would be gone by the end of the first week of summer! Thanks go to Jennifer from Mom vs. the Boys for this great DIY gift.
