...when your last day of school is December 3. Nina's holiday party was yesterday, and Elise's is tomorrow. It is just barely December, but we're already having to gear up for Christmas. I'm still not quite there mentally. It feels too early. I spent tonight working on teacher gifts though, so they can be delivered tomorrow. I decided to try my hand at personalized hand sanitizer this year. I hope the teachers like them. I figure you can never have enough hand sanitizer this time of year!

Such a cute gift! I am sure they will love it!

They look awesome. How did you do it?

Shirley, click on that "personalized hand sanitizer" link in the post. It gives detailed directions. The downloadable file is a PDF file though which is a pain because you can't edit it. If you want the Word doc that I used, let me know, and I can email it to you. Also, I don't recommend that Goof Off stuff that she recommends. It roughed up the plastic when I tried to use it. I would try Goo Gone or just soap and water for getting off labels. I had no problem getting the front labels off, but the back labels left huge sticky areas, so I learned the hard way to keep the back labels on!! :)

Super cute idea! I was wondering if you could email me the word doc. I wanted to make these for neighbor and teacher gifts and thought it would be nice to be able to personalize them. Thanks for the tips on taking off the stickers too.

Hi Ann ~ these look wonderful! I have been trying for hours to get my word document to look as good as yours and can't get it right. Can you email me your word doc? Thanks so much!
