Ummm, there are only nine days until Christmas and if you are anything like me, you might need a little help getting everything together before the big day?! I'm thrilled to be joining these girls again this month to bring you all sorts of holiday inspiration. I've said many times before that birthday parties are my love language, but wrapping gifts is a close second. I collect fun papers and washi tapes and ribbon all year in anticipation of those first few weeks of December. My husband gets irritated because I always select a few rolls of paper for all the gifts and I hide everything else so he won't use them. I love seeing coordinating papers under the tree and figuring out how to make each of the gifts look different is so much fun! I knew I wanted to design some printable tags ...

Holiday Teacher Gift Ideas
With December on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about Christmas gifts and teachers are always pretty high on our list. If you're anything like me, you scour Pinterest for clever ideas, only to fall back on the tried-and-true gift certificate days before the class party. This year I am taking all of the guesswork out of the equation for you and I'm so excited to share these Holiday Teacher Gift Ideas. My favorite Walmart Photo product is this 14 ounce Collage Tumbler, available online or in-store at the photo center kiosk. At less than $15, this is the perfect gift for your favorite teacher. Since we love to personalize our gifts around here, we challenged ourselves to come up with three distinct gift packages for the girls' teachers, using the same product in each. This ...
Holiday Hop: Printable Placemats
I am so excited to be linking up with these lovely ladies today to bring you all sorts of Thanksgiving goodness. If you're looking for menu ideas, tablescapes or just a simple activity to keep your little ones entertained, then you've come to the right place! My parents are hosting Thanksgiving in the barn this year and I can't wait to see the beautiful tables my mom manages to pull together. She is the quintessential hostess and the barn is always the perfect place for a fun family get together (try saying that three times fast!). Since we're leaning towards a more rustic, buffet style meal this year, I wanted to come up with something beautiful for the table that would also be fun for the little ones joining the meal. My girls love nothing more than a good coloring session and ...
Thankful Jar DIY
As much fun as September and October were, I'm excited about getting back to our normal posts and projects around here. In case you missed it, I'll be writing over at Oh My! Creative a few times a month and sharing some simple seasonal printables and fun kid crafts for your family. The girls and I were brainstorming a few ways to share what we are thankful for this season and this jar was one of our favorite ideas! I don't know about you, but in our home we are constantly talking about gratitude and how much we have to be thankful for. I know we are just wrapping up Halloween, but I wanted to get a head start on helping my girls recognize these things during the upcoming holiday season. Enter our Thankful Jar. Instead of having blank cards or strips of paper to write on like we have ...
Free Printable Sermon Notes
Affiliate links appear in the following post. Although shopping the embedded links won’t cost you any additional dollars, it might earn me a small commission on sales. Your support of this blog is much appreciated! I don't know about you, but I like any and all things related to organization and paper products. Especially if I can figure out how to tie them back to Bible Journaling. I had been keeping notes and slips of paper in the back pocket of my Bible cover for weeks at a time, but what I really needed was a way to keep them all together and in order. Sometimes it is several days {or weeks!} before I can add my sermon notes to the margins of my Bible and I needed to keep up with them for reference until then. Enter these Free Printable Sermon Notes and the cutest binder you ever did ...

Tutu Lollipop Valentines Tutorial

Your support of this blog is always appreciated! Next up on our tour of Valentine's are these lollipops with miniature crepe paper tutus. I loved our ballerina themed cards for the dance studio last year, but I wanted to try something a little more dimensional this year. I scoured Pinterest for ideas on how to make the mini tutus, but the closest I could find were cupcake toppers without a tutorial. It took some trial and error, but we came up with a couple of fun ways to make these work! Supplies needed: printable file | lollipops | crepe paper rolls | needle and thread | hot glue gun | scissors | ...
Ring Pop Valentine’s Tutorial

Your support of this blog is always appreciated! One of the things I wanted to do more of in 2015 is to share step-by-step tutorials with printable design files, so you can create some of our fun crafts yourself! Usually the girls are full of ideas and know exactly what they want to share with their classmates. Maybe it's because we started talking about it so early in the year, but they were pretty open to ideas this time around. I scoured Hobby Lobby as soon as their Valentine's Day goodies were on the shelves and found some really cute ring pops that the girls loved. They are a little smaller than ...
