 Teacher Appreciation Week is just a little less than one month away , so now would be a good time to think about a gift for your child's teacher if you haven't already . Educators spend an average of 6 hours a day helping us educate our children , so I think it is an nice gesture to show them our gratitude . But what would be a good teacher's gift ?

I've been quite busy and I haven't been able to post as much as I wanted to . But here are a few Christmas stockings and tree skirts .
