We had lunch at the Apple Barn while we were in the mountains. They have several gifts shops – one with canned goods and kitchen items, a Christmas Shop, Candy Store, Ice Creamery, Winery…you get the picture. I picked up a couple of jars of Apple Butter to use as a first day of school teacher gift
You know…to butter up the teacher a little. Pun intended. Sorry I couldn’t help myself. I thought it would be a cute spin on the whole teacher – apple thing.
I dressed up the jar a little with cupcake liners, ribbon and a little printable that I designed all by myself! My first printable!!! Are you as excited as I am? No? Ok. Probably not.
Here’s what I used:
The printable prints three to a page and is large enough to use even if you buy a large container of apple butter. For smaller ones (like mine above) just trim away some of the stripes on the sides and across the top and bottom. You could also cut around the oval and just use an oval tag. The possibilities are endless!
p.s. I’m linking up to Home Stories A to Z, My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia, Atta Girl Says, By Stephanie Lynn, I heart Naptime, Serenity Now, Happy Go Lucky and It’s Overflowing.
This is such a cute idea! I'm a teacher and would be delighted if a student gave this to me.
I'm visiting from Serenity Now.
Awww! Thank you! I'm glad you said that because my husband said I was "trying too hard" and I was starting to second guess myself. Thanks for stopping by!
Adorable! Such a cute and simple idea! I popped over from It's Overflowing– thanks for sharing!

What a sweet idea! As a former classroom teacher, I would have loved to receive something so thoughtful from a student/family. I'm visiting from the It's Overflowing link party.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I'm glad you said that! I always second guess my gift giving…was it too much? too little? too cheesy?
Thanks for stopping by!
