Rock the night away | Printable
Are you guys ready for the last of my Instachristmas tags? Just like all the others there are lots of ways you could use this but here's how used this one.
One of my dearest friends just had a baby. On 12.12.12 Lucky little guy. SO when I chose Rock the Night Away I was thinking more along the lines of a mama rocking the night away with her new babe. So I put together a cd of some quiet Christmas songs. We downloaded this Fireplace Sampler from The Music Bed a few weeks ago and have found some new favorites on there. I also made a Lotta Jansdotter swaddler (its a free pattern) and a blanket for the little. Then I wrapped it up and mailed it off to our far away friends.
I've uploaded the printable to google docs again for you to download! As always free but if you love it maybe donate a dollar to our adoption fund! You could make a party sampler to give to a friend, I cut an envelope with my silhouette that is the perfect size for a disc. Or if you are giving an itunes gift card to a friend this would be a cute way to package it up don't you think?! Are you done with your Christmas shopping? I just have a couple things left. EEK! Its less than a week away!
PS. I've been using this shape for a cd envelope
and this library pocket.

For your mistle toes| printable
I finally found a minute to show you guys my next InstaChristmas tag! I was going along all fine thinking I had a ton of time to get things done before Christmas. Then this week happened and I feel like I have no time left!
Sometimes though no matter how busy I get I always find time for things like adding touches to my dining room wall. Its been 3 years and I finally hung some of my favorite things on this really big wall. I took a canvas and painted it with chalkboard paint so I could change it as often as I wanted.
For your mistle toes! What a fun idea huh! I kept it simple and used a circle punch to make little tags to tie on to some of my favorite colors of nail polish. {jag-u-are. stylenomics. clambake.} Chalk, hole punch, and some twine and you are done! You could also use the tags to put on homemade foot scrub, or a cute pair of boot socks. Really, just like the cup of cheer tags, there are a lot of fun ways to use these little guys!
I made two versions of these tags. One is these square tags perfect for cutting in to circles. The other is a little bit bigger to add to a box for gift giving. You can download them from google docs, easy peasy! As always these printables are free to download, or you can click on the donate button and maybe donate a dollar to adoption fund.
Are you guys feeling the sudden crunch of time for Christmas too or is it just me?!

A cup of cheer | Printable
Ask and ye shall receive! I've uploaded the cup of cheer pdf to google docs for you to download! It is a PDF that you can print on cardstock and use for gift giving this year. {Personal Use Only}
I printed mine on white cardstock and then rubbed chalk on them to give a more authentic chalkboard look to them. I also like to rub some black ink on any cut sides so the white edge doesn't show.
Uuummmmm.... I feel weird about this and I don't quite know how to ask. But we are friends right?
I love being a stay at home mom to Ivy. I love making things and sharing it with you guys. I also really want to adopt a baby. Which it turns out can be kind of expensive. And it can be hard as a SAHM to come up with ways to help out with extra expenses sometimes ya know? So I thought I would try and use my resources. If you love a free printable that I share, and want to download it to use, would you maybe donate $1 to our adoption fund? Its done through paypal so its super easy and only takes a second. Just click the donate button under the printable, or on my sidebar over there. Of course you don't have to. NO PRESSURE!! You can totally download them for free and I'll be so happy that you loved it enough to use it and spread some holiday cheer! Mmk thanks. End awkwardness.
I hope you guys had a great weekend! Ivy and I got invited to attend the Nutcracker on Saturday. It was a first for both of us. I know, how did I get to be 33 and never have gone? Well we loved it, especially my little ballerina. We got all dolled up. Ivy even wanted her hair curled. Which is a really big deal by the way.
She added my leopard scarf to her ensemble. Besides the whole socks and sandals thing, she can be a regular fashionista. But holy cow isn't she gorgeous. I love her to the ends of the earth. Even when she makes me be the nutcracker or the rat king ALL day long. She has been a dancer/ director/ stage hand/ costume designer almost nonstop since Saturday night. The creative energy never ends with that girl.
Happy Monday!
