Teachers Rock...Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Inpsiration hit while in the checkout lane at Target tonight.  I created 6 prototypes after watching American Idol.  If only I had more time to work on these cuties...sigh.  I think I'll pair the patties with a gift card and a thank you note with the "You Rock" logo on the cover in case they miss the subtlety. (That word needs to appear in the National Spelling bee.)  Looks like I'll be making more "'You Rock" patties tomorrow.

Teacher Appreciation Week: Clever Sayings and Sources of Inspiration

Oh my golly! Teacher Appreciation Week started today. 
I don't have any gifts made. (I like to make them.)
The kids have a jillion teachers this year.  (So they need to be affordable to make.) 
Plus my family is crazy busy this week. (I need to be able to make the gifts quickly.) 
I surfed and found this site with a bunch of clever little sayings that I can build upon.  (Whew!) 
Stay tuned to see what I come up with.  In the meantime, here are some photos that I found inspiring.
