Giving gifts is one of my favorite things to do. While I always love finding unique gifts for people, there are sometimes where the best gift to give is money. Rather than just hand them a crumpled $20 in an envelope, I do my best to make the experience special. I've written about fun methods of gifting cash before and felt like coming up with some more ideas! Here are the super clever & unique ways to bless your recipient with cash. 20+ Best Ways to Give Money as a Gift I asked a few of my blogging

Hi all! Happy Monday! It's Amber from Mrs. Masters Kinder Love and I'm so happy to be sharing with you today! I can't believe that I'm already planning for the end of the school year! My head has been spinning with all the amazing ideas I see on blogs, Pinterest and instagram! Today I am sharing 5 ideas with you that I think are AMAZINGLY, AWESOME and they DO NOT break the bank!! Enjoy!! Class Pic Collage I love this idea from Jo's PhotoMojo! A lot of us have done this individually with students and sent it home for each child's family at the end of the school year. BUT this would be such a memorable piece for students to look back on when they are older and remember each of their classmates! Slideshow If you are anything like me, you take a million pictures of your kids throughout the year, and then don't really know what to do with all of them at the end of the year. Then you end up with thousands of pics on your computer that are slightly (or majorly) unorganized and just a bit of a mess. By creating a slideshow, you pick out the most memorable pictures of the year. Then you don't have to feel bad about getting rid of the 500 that you probably don't need. This idea from The Littlest Scholars is a thoughtful gift for students and families! QR Code Gift Cards! Can I just say GENIUS!! This idea from FlapJack is an easy twist on making video slideshows for your kids! You can create cards with QR codes to the videos that you've created throughout the school year! It's easier and much cheaper than buying cd's for every student in class! You can give each student a few cards to share with their families! Name Frames I am absolutely in love with these name frames from Mrs. MeGown's 2nd Grade Safari! I love the process that she used by having her students write down a word to describe each person in the class! She even included it as a freebie! You can grab her freebie and read all about this gift here! You can find frames for a dollar a piece at the Dollar Tree! Such a meaningful gift that students will be able to enjoy for years to come! Beach Balls! I've seen a couple different things you can do with beach balls for the end of the school year. The first is just using it as a fabulous/inexpensive summer gift! Check out Read Write Sing A Kindergarten Story blog post and pick up the free tags!! I have also seen this idea floating around Pinterest and think it's such a cute take on the memory book. Mrs. Patton's Patch explains it all here!! Each student gets a beach ball. You can write "We had a ball in ____ grade!" in Sharpie. Students can sign their names to the beach balls! This idea goes perfect with the popular "Beach Party" theme on the last day! Here's the great news....you can get 12 pack of beach balls for about $7.00 on Amazon!! I hope you were able to find a few fabulous ideas to get you thinking about the end of the year! Have a wonderful week!

I love felt crafts! Our smaller felt board has been one of my favorite DIY’s for the kids! Every time I shared pictures of it, people commented on how they were wanting to make one. So I thought I would put together a Large Felt Board Tutorial so you can see how easy and doable this project really is! The best part of this project is that it’s both art and fun for the kids’ room! If you’ve been thinking about making one… go for it! If you have a sewing machine you can easily sew the blue and green felt together, or to make this project EVEN easier, just do green! You need three things to get started: Canvas, Felt and a staple gun! Try to grab your canvas when it’s on sale or with a coupon. The Craft stores I shop at always have them. I got this one at Michael’s for 40 percent off and then 25 percent off my total order! So plan ahead and grab those canvases if you have this project in mind. FELT BOARD SUPPLIES: Canvas You can use any size you want! Just make sure to get enough felt to cover and wrap …

Do you remember my last post about the hoodie scarves?... I told you that Kass and I made something to go with them and I am finally getting around to showing them to you now:) We made some handwarmers to go in the pockets at the end of the scarves! Here in Utah the winters are long and cold...so handwarmers are a winter staple at our house. I usually make a bunch this time of year and keep them in a big bowl in my pantry where they are handy and close to the microwave for a quick heat up on a cold day. The nice thing about these hand warmers is that they work for cold packs too if you put them in the freezer first.... headaches and owies are quickly soothed by using one or two of these little cuties! So here is how I make them. I like to use 5" x 5" squares...I'm sure you all have a few of those laying around so that you can play along... right? I use 2 different squares of Sew Cherry for each bag... one for the front... and one for the back. I also like to line them with flannel. It helps to keep the heat/cold in longer. I cut two 5" x 5" squares of flannel for each bag. I placed a piece of flannel on the wrong side of each square... And I placed 2 squares with right sides together. Then I stacked them all up in a pile for sewing! I used a 3/8" seam allowance and stitched all the way around the edges... leaving an opening for turning and filling later. I backstitched where I stopped and started sewing. I also used my walking foot because there are 4 layers and it really keeps them from shifting. Before turning... I clipped off the corners for less bulk. I turned and used a crochet hook to get a nice point in the corners. (my favorite turning tool) I used a funnel... and filled each bag with about 3/4 of a cup of rice. I stitched the opening closed using my machine:) I stitched them up in matching pairs... one for each pocket! Each set takes about 30-45 seconds on high to heat up in my microwave. And there you have it...fast,easy and cute little square hot/cold bags... what else could you ask for? Okay...maybe longer and larger hot/cold bags for your feet and neck? You got it! I made a few of those too! I made them the exact same way ... I used Daisy Cottage fat quarters for these bags and I cut 2 different pieces of fabric 6" x 20"... again... one for the front and one for the back. I also cut two pieces of flannel for each bag the same size. I stitched them up and turned them... Filled them up with about 6 cups of rice for each bag... which is about halfway full. I stitched them closed...and laid them out to show you! These take about 2 minutes on high because they are quite a bit larger. I like to put one at the bottom of my bed so that my sheets are nice and toasty for my feet when I climb into bed on a cold winters night! They also work nicely for a neck, shoulder or backache after a long quilty day! And they also work in the freezer too! After I have been out working in the garden on a hot summer day...it feels heavenly to lay one across my shoulders and neck to cool me down a bit...try it and see if it works for you too! Until tomorrow... have a quilty kind of day my friends:) xx Lori
