I Was Soapin' ...

I am impressed with all the word associations that come about with these inexpensive gifts to give.  It takes some real thought, and I generally wish I'd been the one who came up with them.

Now take this everyday item. You could get it at the grocery ... but why not get it somewhere for a dollar? You probably already know where that store is. You even get to pick the fragrance! I don't see a printable with the instructions, but cut a heart out using colored paper and handwrite the message. A little bit of ribbon and viola. A gift that gives for a long time and maybe they'll think of you every time they use it!

Thoughtful, useful, pretty, inexpensive ... what more do we want?  Nothing!  (well a little sack to put it in might be nice!)  You can get that at the same dollar place.

We LOVE Fruit!

I <3 (Heart ... love) this idea. 

Who doesn't have a pen?  Let's see, how about fruit. Well, maybe others are better at having fruit in their kitchen than I am ... but all the better cause that means you are getting healthy ... and what's not to LOVE about that!

Okay, that settles it! I love this idea!

A-CORNS (not Eggs)

Don't you love it when you see something that was originally one thing ... and then one day ... a very smart person (probably a woman) said, "Hey, let's try this!"

What a cute idea and you can go ahead use those eggs you already have ... 'cause you know where you can get more next year!

Thankful Tree

It can never be said enough -

"Thank You!"

What a big way to remind one another what and who we are thankful for.  Let everyone in the family join in. Are you having friends over? Include them, too. Just have a few extra leaves handy. You might find someone is thankful for You!

I'm Fallin' for Turkeys

With a little bit of cooler weather AND having seen some wild turkeys not far from my house, I'm getting in the mood for FALL! 

Fall is my favorite time of year and I start crafting again.  Indoor days can be filled with fun things to do, too.



This is certainly an easy craft and a few of them on a Thanksgiving table would be fun! HERE is the link to the site with directions.
