Holiday Thanks

I love the custodians at my school.  I appreciate the work they do for me and everyone else at our site.  Actually, I substituted for one of them this fall because there are no custodian sub.'s in our area and one hadn't taken a week off in 36 years-- it proved to be hard work!  (... and I didn't even have to do all of the stuff they normally do... I just had to vacuum classrooms and empty classroom trashes after school!)

Anyway, I love those guys.  I buy them a bag of coffee every year for Christmas, and these are the tags I taped to them (using 7 Gypsies red msking tape, not shown... but looks perfect for a couple men):

Supplies:

• The library card bases were painted with "Thanks" a few months ago when I was practicing my true brush lettering for a project at Tag, You're It
• For the seasonal touches, I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals mixed with some water on my mat and painted some conifer branches and berries, and I also added some splatter.  (I used an old, tore-up brush, and it yielded excellent results with it's misshapen bristles and gunk!  Looking forward to playing with my messed-up brushes [thanks, kids] in the future!)

I plan to share the "Thanks" tags at the following challenges:

• STAMPlorations December CAS
  
• Nacho Average Challenge
  
• Simon Says Wednesday: Gift it... these were taped to coffee bags
