Do you want to give the coolest valentines ever? Here are the valentine's themed bottle caps I have made. I plan to make bottle cap clippies for all the girls in Daisy's 1st grade class.

BYU bottlecap keychain. You know it isn't from a beer bottle ;)

Perhaps the most "notoriously sober" college campuses just needed a bottle cap keychain. So I made it. I managed to find a scrapbook paper which had the BYU Cougar mascot on it (meaning that this keychain abides by all copyright laws). I now have a couple of little plastic boxes full of BYU Cougar paper punch-outs! One of these days I'll make them up on bottle caps and sell them so I can actually get something more done. I'm needing supply money these days, so I guess some income is called for :P

Retail price: $3.50
Wholesale (minimum 10) $2.62

We LOVE teachers :)

Last week was the end of school for the year (the 2008 year, not the school year :)) so I wanted to send some gifts to the wonderful teachers and helpers in our lives.
I made ribbon-wrapped pens in pairs for each gift. I also made some teacher themed bottlecaps which I made into magnets. They turned out REALLY cute and the teachers absolutely loved them.
We gave gifts to all 4 of Sunshine's preschool teachers, Daisy's bus driver (who has been really great and helped out with a bullying problem), and Daisy's teacher. Sunshine goes to a preschool done by the school district that is particularly for special needs children. They also take non-special needs children, but they don't get to ride the bus and they pay tuition. Sunshine is actually the only tuition paying child in her class. It has been wonderful for her, though, since there is a teacher for about every 3 children and she gets to be the leader and the example a lot -- good for a middle child. I mention all that to explain one of the caps I made particularly for those teachers:
"All children are gifted, some just open their package sooner than others." (purple)
the other say:
"Teachers Rule" (yellow)
"When's Recess?" (gray)
"Discover Wildlife: be a teacher" (orange)
and
"Every time the bell rings a teacher gets her wings" (green)

The bus driver got two pens and a key chain made with a bottle cap I made using the school mascot and "Tiger Pride 2008-09"
The 1st grade teacher got magnets, two pens, and a key chain too.
