My first post on this blog :)

In order to get the ball rolling on this blog, I'm going to share something easy I worked on this week.
SECRET SANTAS!  I'm on the social/morale committee in my building and love creating fun little things to brighten someone's day in the building.  Teachers here (just like everywhere) are overworked and feeling the pain of implementing CCSS (is that a 4 letter word yet?!).

Anyways, I used to think of Secret Santas as just one more thing to do during an already crazy month.  Plus one year I drew the name of the only male participant who listed his hobbies as wordworking...wtf do you do with that?  I vowed I wouldn't ever do SS again, but got dragged back in when I started in a new building.  I didn't want to seem like a Scrooge.

This year we made a little survey for participants to fill out.  This way the Secret Santa had a few hints about their pick.  You can pick it up for free at my tpt store .

I also made this cute little packaging, which was inspired by something my PIC (partner in crime) found on Pinterest.  I don't have the original link, please let me know if you know who originated this little cutie.  Little side note, I numbered each participant on a sheet of paper, and wrote their number very tiny on the outside of their folded survey.  That way I could make sure no one picked themselves before they 'unwrapped' their package :)  It was a hit!


Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Enjoy!!
