Just Because We're NICE Scrapper's Blog Hop


Welcome to a fun blog hop...just because we're nice!!! It's been a long first week of school for me, and I know the 7 other teachers on my 1st grade team will surely agree. I'm usually one of the first ones into work each morning (I like it in the am because it's quiet and my head is clear) so I threw together a little surprise to leave on everyone's desk. TGIF!

(Just my little way of being a FRED!)
Did you know there's a clearance rack at Staples?!?!? What a great discovery, because when I stumbled up on it I found a huge back of fun clips for $5!!! If I plan on being organized and spreading cheer, it may as well be a colorful endeavor. Here's the bunch for everyone, which I threw together with scraps once I tracked down some bags.

If you haven't already checked out Operation NICE be sure to head there after you hop to the next NICE stop....LaiLani.
Smiles,

  11. Caryl, That was so nice and thoughtful. How did you have the energy to do it on Friday. I sent the ladies I work with flowers on the first day. It was very small. I set it all up before the first day of school. I am so exhausted when I leave school. The first week is hard.

  12. What a thoughtful gift for your workmates. I know what it's like, I'm a high school teacher when not on maternity leave.

    Good luck with your new school year. We're just coming to the end of Term 3 for the school year here, so my husband's very busy with marking and reporting!

  14. How nice! I always loved this kind of pick-me-up as a teacher (and I was always grateful for free supplies). Thanks for the bloggy love; it was nice meeting you through this hop. :)

  16. What a fun little gift idea for your fellow teachers. I see a lot of people making goodie bags with little chocolates in them but I keep thinking that, although that's really nice, those of us on diets (like me) would be too tempted by that. Your idea of the clips is appropriate for anyone. And such great colors.

    I enjoyed reading the story of "Fred".
