Post It Note Holder with Beaded Pen

I finally figured out how to wrap my pens in beautiful card stock and the good double-sided adhesive without having to cut up sheets and have any of the adhesive go to waste. It took a while to get there, but I'm thrilled. I now have several very pretty, but odd looking pens!

Newly listed in my shop is this Post It Note Holder with matching Beaded Pen set. The pen uses the same card stock as I used on the front of the Post It Note Holder. I then covered the pen in glass beads and sealed them. What a pretty way to take notes, don't you think?

Teacher Gifts

For the first time, I made teacher gifts. My oldest is 4 and we just love his school and his preschool teachers. He is in a wonderful program and is thriving and loves going to school. I pulled the idea from my my shop but used different papers and added the pens.

For the pens, I didn't want any white showing from the background paper so I basically designed it myself by sponging and stamping it. I think it looks much better darker and without any white showing through. Plus I wanted it to match the post-it-note holder. I've seen bic pens used for these but I use the RSVP pens. Its more work, but I think its a better pen. It writes better and being a pen and paper junkie myself, it's something I appreciate.

The sentiment at the bottom says "the little things", which I think is appropriate.



Their other gift was chocolate chocolate chip cookies that my son and his daddy made. I think they may have been a bigger hit. One of his teachers made a comment about getting them home and stashing them before her family saw them. They are the best cookies!
