Back to school here in the Duffner home is a mixed emotional day. Happy for the little ones, sad inside for me. I will miss them terribly. Here is the Back to School project for this year. The clipboard I made after seeing Stephanie’s in her home a few months back while working on her scrap room (which by the way will be aired on Scrapbook Lifestyle On Sept. 10th) and thought this would be a perfect 1st day of school gift for the teachers. I did a bit of a twist on it and came up with this… It is a mini clipboard with a notepad that has the calendar of how many days until summer. I had to fill in the numbers so that took a while but I did save the file so if you are interested please leave a comment telling me and I can easily e-mail you the doc. 
Along with this I wanted to give them the more traditional gift of an apple but as you know me I have to twist that up too! I bagged a red apple on top of raffia and put caramel dipping sauce on top and tied it with a raffia ribbon. Supper easy and fun to put together with the kiddos! I hope the teachers like it as much as we do.
OMG - so cute pattye!

This is so cute! I want to 'alter' a clipboard, but have no idea where to start. Can you share some 'How tos'?
I'd also love the countdown to summer. My DH is a teacher and today was the 1st day of students. He will be very impressed that I can tell him how many days until Summer. =)
Thanks for Sharing!
