I always take a LOT of pictures. And, I do mean a LOT! There is a camera with me 99% of the time. When I go out the door I grab my camera before I do my phone, which is does nothing except help me locate my hubby while we shop, btw. At any given time there is a camera, if not two, in my purse, pocket or hand. ~smile~ It is only natural, then, for me to give gifts of pictures for all occasions. Whether it is DVD's for the teachers at the end of school or my last project..picture tiles. They can be placed on an easel on your desk, used as coasters and I'm certain I can find a way to hang them on the wall. I made these for an end of the year present for my twins pre-k teachers. I'm going to make them again for hubby as a gift for Father's Day along with a picture of our oldest son. You can have your child draw or write something to put on the tiles instead of, or in addition to, the pictures. These are so very easy to do and can be made in no time at all. Run to Lowes to pick up some tiles and hurry back to make these adorable gifts in time for Sunday. Have fun! <3 and hugs!
