Personalized Teacher Subway Art Clock - free download
From the Attempting Aloha archive.
Aloha!In true procrastinator fashion, I finished the gift for my daughter's teacher this morning! The poor thing was begging me to hurry as I (of course) had to take pics before lovingly wrapping it while she was shoveling oatmeal down. Just another typical school morning! Ha!
Add some numbers and a bunch of words that remind me of teachers, along with my daughter's teacher's name, and you have a lovely, personalized, $5 Christmas gift!
Here is the generic (no personalization) version available as a free download for you! Please live Aloha and become a follower if you use one of my free downloads. ;)
Here's the printable (Updated in 2026: the old file was lost, so the face has been redrawn from these photos, with "Thank You" where the name goes and a second page with a line for your teacher's name.)
And if you're looking for a personalized clock, I have them available in my new Etsy shop Travel Build Create.
Aloha,
Charlee

I've seen many takes on subway art, but I love the idea of placing it where we see it unconsciously, on a clock. That would make a fun place for resolutions for a vision board. Thanks for inspiring me! Following you now so I remember this project. If you have a minute, please link this up to my creative juice party... <3 Nicolette @ http://momnivoresdilemma.blogspot.com/2010/12/creative-juice-thursday-3.html - broy (December 19, 2010 at 2:56 PM)
