Back to School Chocolate Pencils

Hello,
My computer is playing up again today, I suppose it is a couple of years old now!!!  I was going to show you another Valentine project I made but it is also only another couple of weeks away for school so I thought I would make my son's teachers (ex and present) a present.  I have seen these on heaps of blogs, starting off with Lorri's blog and then on Pintrest.
I had a friend come and play for the day and this is one thing she wanted to make (as she had seen them on Pintrest and loved them too) so I finally got to make these and every child that has come into my house has picked them up and wanted one.  I swear they will go to school with lots of dirty finger prints on them!!
The bottom one is my first attempt with a milky way bar, just had to make one before my friend got here.  Then she bought dairy roll ups and kisses and then we had some fun.
I rolled the chocolate on a ruler to see how wide I needed to make it (just in case yours is a different size). These worked out :-
yellow card - 5 1/4" x 3 1/8" or 12 1/2cm x 8 cm, put some score marks on it as that makes them look cool
pink card - 1 1/2cm x 8 cm and sorry I forgot to work out how many inches that was but the 3 1/8" is equal to 8 cm. Don't score this one as that is the rubber.  I then used a 3/4" punch for the bottom.  I used the glue gun to hold this all together.  Then of course the Hershey kiss on the tip and I made some little tags and a glitter love heart on them.
thanks for stopping by and have a good one....

Teacher Appreciation Gift

Good evening all,
Oh gee time is going too quickly, I didn't get as much done today as I would have liked but I did manage to finish one of the gifts that I would like to give to those special teachers of mine.  Teacher appreciation is in a couple of weeks (I would tell you when but I keep forgetting and thinking it is the 8th May, but know it isn't, anyway, I will be prepared!!!!) and I thought I would make a few special treats. 
So this is the first one and it is a box that I cased from Sharon Burkert.  I absolutely love this box, it is so quick and easy and this time I have put four note cards in there.  I thought I might put a small chocolate in there as well (100gr block should fit nicely and if not, more for me to eat!) or I will make some tags if the chocolate doesn't fit.
Here is my box and cards....
 Baja breeze with a little pool party thrown in, lol
 Rich razelberry and this one has been picked out for my son's teacher
 blushing bride
 And the three boxes together with one set of cards, ready to go..
Just in case you need another look, I put in a second picture. lol.  Not sure what I was thinking but I'll leave it here anyway.
If you would like instructions just let me know or I can do a tutorial as well.
Stamp set:  Mixed bunch stamp set
Card:  Rich razelberry, baja breeze, blushing bride and very vanilla
Ink:  Blushing bride, rich razelberry and pool party

Tools:  Word window punch, pinking hearts border and (sorry I have misplaced by mini catalogue with the punch name) the new flower punch to go with the mixed bunch stamp set, 3/4" circle punch and paper piercer and mat.
Thanks for stopping by......
