      I just added a picture to my profile--does it take some time to show up here in the chat?

      Hi Heidi! Yes - if you want the image to appear on the page, you can save it to your desktop and then upload it (click "add image/video" and browse your desktop for the image you'd like to share). :)

    • Hi everyone! Looking forward to a fun chat this afternoon! Here's a gorgeous felt bird ornament I found on Pinterest (I know we're all addicted). If you can make a few simple hand stitches, this is a great small gift! Tutorial here: http://projectsforyournest.blogspot.com/2010/10/birdie-ornaments.html

      Last year we did a live Talk on DIY Teachers' Gifts and here's one that was posted that I thought was cute. Cute magnets for the teachers.

      If you get the right pens (porcelaine) they are diswasher safe.

      I LOVED these scissors too. They would be great. What teacher doesn't need scissors.

      How about some Cubicle snacks :0)

      Maybe a Starbucks gift card and a cute cozy like these? Or ask if they need anything for the classroom (posters, etc) - I have a lot of teacher friends who buy that kind of thing out of their own pockets.

      GOOD QUESTION! My boys made bracelets for their teachers from some beads I had.
