I'm back again with one of my ultimate teacher gift guides!  If you missed my previous guides...check them out! There's something for everyone, & these gifts are perfect beyond the holidays. {bossbabe gifts, techie gifts, fashionista gifts} Today I'm featuring must-haves for the DIY, crafty teacher {or other fab lady}. Some are challenging, others relaxing & therapeutic. Some items you may actually want to make and GIVE as gifts...others will be to amazing to give away!

If you still need to buy for colleagues, blogging besties, or teachers of your own kiddos, take a peek. Think about upcoming birthdays & other gift-giving opportunities beyond the holidays. Know other fab ladies who are constantly creating? They'll love these. Better yet?? Look around for YOURSELF! This is MY personal craft-astic WISH LIST, featuring fun goodies for every interest. TOMORROW will feature a new gift guide, so come back for more swoon-worthy gift ideas!
