Operation Wrap-It! Free Holiday Tag Printables

December 22, 2011 1 Comment

I am not what you would call a pretty wrapper.  I mostly just wrap it, stick a tag on it and if I am feeling extra special, put a pre-made bow on it.  I always figure that what really matters is what is inside.

But sometimes I aspire to be more.  To do more.  I think an easy and quick way to put a tiny bit more thought into my wrapping would be to make a pretty tag to place on the package.  Thankfully there is pinterest to help me when I feel a bit motivated.  There a ton of free holiday gift tags out there.  Below are just a few (plus some packaging suggestions) that I found.

Now get a rappin’!  Oh wait, I meant wrappin’.

For the Teen/Rocker in your life.

FREE Mother’s Day Printables

Hard to believe it is Mother’s Day this Sunday already!  Around here it seems like it has been non stop family gatherings starting with Easter and then my mom’s birthday party this past weekend.

I have found once again some cute printables that can easily be made into cards and/or gifts.  Hopefully if you are a mom, your husband will do the right thing and get your kids to make you a nice card, etc.  If you suspect he may need a little help, you can always point him to this post…

FREE Teacher Appreciation Printables and Ideas w/Linky

April 28, 2011 2 Comments

Next week, May 2nd-May 6th is Teacher Appreciation Week.  Do you have your teacher gift already?  If you are anything like me, the answer would be a resounding NO.  It wasn’t even on my radar until Miss M brought home a note from the PTA with ideas of things your child could bring each day of the week to show his/her appreciation.  I loved that they did this since I am pretty uninspired with this sort of thing.

My friend Heather at Pass the Cereal also posted some awesome teacher gift ideas that would be good for either next week or at the end of the year.  But since I am in no way as crafty as her, I thought I would do some surfing on the web and see if I could find some neat printables that could make a quick and easy and thoughtful gift.

Here’s what I found:

and last, but not least, a simple thank you is sometimes words enough…
