Bouquet of Freshly Sharpened Pencils

My favorite line from you've got mail "I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address".


I have a fetish for school supplies. I love them. Really love them! The smell of pencils is intoxicating, lol. So, when I saw a friend post this project I had to do it too. It's teacher appreciation week and we're sending this in for my daughter's teacher in the morning.

The flowers are 2 inch flowers from Mother's Day Bouquet and the paper is a combination of random scraps. Then I just used a hole punch in the center and stuck the eraser through.  The projects cost me $2 ($1 for pencils and the bucket was from the $1 bin at Target).
I'm entering this at the Fantubulous Cricut Challenge to make a project with at least 3 flowers.
Also at Cooking with Cricut for a similar challenge that must include purple (I know you can't see it well, but there are at least 5 purple flowers in there, lol!. Also at Amber's Crafts and Stuff where the project is to make a project for a special lady (my daughter's teacher!).

    I would love a bouquet like this! It is so beautiful! hehe...I'm a school supply junkie too!! My husband doesn't understand it but he has given in to it now after 12 years. He has finally started filling my christmas stocking with packs of pens, pencils and paper. He also cannot figure out why we need an entire case of 50 composition notebooks sitting in our bedroom. Well, they only cost $.05 each (back to school clearance) and they make great gifts when they are covered and pretty!! Good Luck with the challenges!

    The smell of a brand new pencil (or box of crayons) is enough to send me reeling!!!
