More....CUTE GIFT IDEAS WITH FREE PRINTABLE TAGS

Buying little gifts for lots of people can quickly add up to lots of $ so I decided to come up with a few cute and inexpensive ideas that won't break Santa's bank! 

This time of year everyone is super crazy busy & hurried so it's nice to have 

a few things wrapped up and ready to give when you realize you need them-

for teachers, co-workers, friends, neighbors, etc.

For the past two years I have posted some CUTE & QUICK CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS

HERE and HERE for gifts that are great (& inexpensive) 

to give to co-workers, teachers, or neighbors

or just to have around during the Christmas season.

Below are some new ones for this year I came up with 

that are super easy and super inexpensive!

Idea #1:

Who doesn't love a super cute mug? 

There are so many around for $5 and under. 

I found this cute one at Hobby Lobby and it was on sale for half price. 

I added some mints (but you could add hot chocolate too!) and 

had a super cute gift for less than $5. 

Total Cost: $3.99

 Idea #2:

This idea is an one I'd see on Pinterest and absolutely loved! 

I created a tag for it last year but made a new one this year.

I purchased some super cute Christmas paper plates and napkins. 

All of those pictured below were purchased from Hobby Lobby and were half price. 

Total cost= $10

 Idea #3:

I use a Yeti (or Yeti-like) cup every single day all day long. 

When I found some super cute Christmas ones I knew I had to create a tag for them. 

If you wanted to add another little something to it- 

you could add either a Sonic or Starbucks gift card to the cup. 

Total cost= $10

Idea #4:

One of my favorite little gifts to give are socks from the fabulous Notes to Self Socks. 

I LOVE their socks- they have a pair for just about

 anyone you could want to buy a gift for!

This tag could work for any pair of socks but I added a pair 

of the Notes to Self I am joyful socks!

Aren't they adorable? 

Total Cost= $12.99

Idea #5:

I love to wrap gifts and there are so many cute kinds of wrapping paper 

out there that I thought it would make a fun gift. 

Total Cost= $8.99

Note: 

I printed my tags on white cardstock- sometimes in wallet size and others in 4x6 

but they are all in JPG format so you can print them in any size you'd like!

You can find all of tags from this year and last year in the folder  HERE.

Printable Sayings Set #1

I'm a huge lover of quotes and sayings and am always collecting new

 ones to surround myself with. 

I have lots of cute little frames and stands to house them in so I recently 

decided to create some new cards for myself. 

I did them in both a white background and black ground 

and thought I'd share them with y'all! 

 The cards are approximately 2.5 x 3.5 and there are eight cards on a page. 

You could even grab a cute little frame or stand, print them out, 

and they would make a great little gift!

You can print your own copy HERE. 

Love them ANYWAY

Lost people act lost.

Hurt people hurt people.

People are cranky and difficult

and selfish and stinky.

But we MUST love them ANYWAY.

Because y'all...that's what God calls us to do

and that's how He loves US!

You can print your own JPG or PDF copy of the printable above at the link HERE. 

Alone

I recently came across a post by Lysa Terkurst on Facebook that so struck me. 

How true is that? 

When we are struggling most of us tend to turn inward and away from those 

around us who can help us through those struggles- especially God-

that's exactly what Satan wants. 

Want to be a RAOK Ninja?

Back in 2013 when I started going to MD Anderson 

I created some little notes to post in bathrooms. 

I originally created them before my surgery because 

I prepared a little list of RAOK for Madison 

and her sweet friends who spent my surgery day with her to do. 

I loved thinking of them performing acts of kindness at MD Anderson

instead of just sitting and worrying about me.

   

      

Ever since then I've kept some of the signs in my purse along with some washi tape

 and I put them up each time I visit MDA for follow up visits

 and again this year when diagnosed with Melanoma and becoming a patient once again. 

I always visit every bathroom I pass on the way to my appointments

and honestly I feel like a little RAOK ninja! 

Prayer Request Printables

I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. 

One of my favorite verses on prayer is Jame 5:16 

and I love it in The Message translation: 

Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. 

I had a sweet reader ask recently if I'd make a prayer request printable 

to match the scripture writing plans and I was happy to do so!

I couldn't decide on just one format so I came up with four to share with her...and you! 

Parenting Is Hard

Parenting is hard & beautiful. 

Recently the amazing and fabulous 

Ann Voskamp posted the following on Facebook: 

I loved it so and shared with several friends that I know are 

walking through some difficult & painful times with their children 

who they love so very much.  

I loved Ann's post because it's a reminder that

we are not alone and holy work IS hard work!

I created a printable of this quote for my friends who 

might need to print it out and keep it is a daily reminder.
