With the holidays approaching, I’ve got Christmas gifts on my mind.  And since we are moving soon, I’ve especially been thinking about our teachers because they are awesome and we are so grateful for them!  I certainly want them to know how much I appreciate them and their wonderful influence on my children.   One of my favorite gifts to make for teachers (because even though gift cards are King I still like to make something) is infinity scarves.  They fits all sizes, are practical (at least in cold places), are not a food item, and can be as...
