National Boss Day 2011

I really love my boss so there was NO way that I could let this holiday pass by without making her a little something.  She's not big on having more clutter on her desk to get in the way of all her paper so I thought the best thing to do was make a magnet.  Here's what you would need to get started:

1. piece of wood (I bought a bag of different shapes of wood at Hobby Lobby for around $10. This will last me for a lot of projects.)
2. Mod Podge
3. paint/paper design of your choice
4. letters (I bought a couple bags of wooden letters from Hobby Lobby - $3.00 ea., but you can use anything you like...stamps, marker, paper letters, etc.)
5. scissors/razor/nail file



Here's the end product:

I glued some magnets on the back, then had the group of her direct employees sign the back with a personal message and there ya go!  A personal gift for about $2.50.  Everything you buy will have leftovers that can be used for other projects.
