FREEBIE :: Fall Gift Tags & Fall Bouquet

Fall is definitely in the air today! I live in Ohio & we FINALLY got a break from the 95+ degree weather AND the humidity & I couldn't be happier!! It's only about 70 degrees right now - which is perfect weather for me . . .jeans, my fave t-shirt and of course flip flops! lol Yup . . keepin it real with the BONUS "what she's wearing today" plug. ;)

Anyways, a couple of weeks ago I shared these fall gift tags with you as your monthly FREEBIE from me & hope you have had the chance to print & use them. If not, I have a super quick & easy IDEA for you!

This cute little fall bouquet is so simple to make & so much in fact, that my daughter did this one as she wanted to take some flowers into her new teacher.

We started with a tiny silver bucket/pail from the Dollar Spot at Target, some washi tape, floral foam, tissue paper, the printed gift tags and a bouquet of flowers.

First she put a piece of washi tape around the entire pail. Taped a gift tag to the front of the pail like this.

Then we inserted some floral foam, added some water & put the flowers in one by one, arranging them nicely as we went. She added some orange tissue paper to hide the green floral foam & tied the gift tag, with her note around it. Done!

Who wouldn't LOVE this sweet little bouquet? She said her teacher still has it sitting on her desk at school - so sweet! ;)

Have you used these tags for anything yet? Has this given you any ideas? I would certainly LOVE to know. Just leave me a comment below telling me what you may be using them for . . .thanks!

{FREEBIE} 9/11 Facebook Timeline Cover Design

Remembering 9/11.

I'm not gonna lie. Every year at this exact time, the sadness sets in. The sadness of that day many years ago on 9-11-01. Every year I want to do something. Anything. I feel this way because . . . I don't know, perhaps . . . if I do SOMETHING,  . . . anything then it makes me feel like I am doing my small part to remember them, ya know. My tribute to help us remember.

One thing I have grown to LOVE about this day & am very proud of, is the POSITIVE that came out of it, the UNITY, we as a country can become when we try. We set aside everything & just become ONE NATION. Remembering the fallen heroes & saying a prayer on their behalf. Even if it's for only ONE day . . . this day, 9/11.

A couple years ago, I designed this 9/11 Subway Art print as a small token for people to remember that day as they see fit. One thing I surely do NOT want to do is EVER FORGET! It's hard. It's sad. But we are still here. The LEAST we can do is REMEMBER - always. 

So this year, I wanted to design or create something we could all use easily, to keep the memory of those fallen heroes alive. And then it hit me. Something simple . . .  a 9/11 Facebook Timeline Cover Design.

Just right click on the image below, save to your desktop & then upload as a new pic to your timeline cover & done! 

I would LOVE for you to share this blog page with your friends so they can get this graphic too & help us all UNITE for the anniversary of 9/11! Can you imagine seeing everyone's Facebook covers with this on it . . . how cool would that be . . .to see that UNITY again? Let's make it happen & UNITE for that one day, so people will always remember.


We will NEVER FORGET!

I was thinking today what a fun theme this would be in the fall for a Halloween bash too as it could be altered, just a bit, to use for all those Halloween parties coming up as well. So many fun choices, so little time. {sigh}

FREEBIE :: Fall Gift Tags

The FALL season is here!!!! Can I get an AMEN!!?!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the FALL season as it is my favorite time of the year - especially since I live in Ohio & get the advantage of actually seeing FOUR seasons. Cool crisp nights where you need a light jacket but can still wear flip flops with your jeans . . . that IS the perfect weather to me! ;)

As I was trying to decide what to design for you all this month, I decided how cool would it be to have some FALL tags on hand that are pretty general & can be used for a variety of things but yet have a cute saying on them? So here they are!!! These would look great on a fresh baked loaf of bread that you are gifting to a friend. Or attached to a bouquet of fall blooms to send in to your kid's teacher to say thanks. Or a small bag of pumpkins given to your sister to use for her crafting needs. I would love to hear what you are going to use them for! ;)

As you can see, you have 3 different color combos to match up with your gifts you will be giving this fall. They all say "Fall is in the Air" on them.

AND better yet . . . PIN IT and save for later so you will be ready with these tags when you need them! Enjoy!

{PUPPY LOVE} So . . . we got a puppy

Have you seen a CUTER face than this?! I mean seriously, he had me at first glance. Those eyes . . . {sigh} ;) 

I would like you all to meet the newest addition to our family: Chili! He is a Maltipoo-chi. Yes it's kind of a 'newer breed' (I guess) as most people I have told respond with the . . . "a what? never heard of that one!" lol . . . his momma is a MaltiPoo & his daddy is a Chihauhau. So basically he is Italian-French-Mexican. What a mix right? But a cute one at that! For sure!

He is about 10.5 weeks old. His birthday was June 5th, so he's a Gemini too. lol My husband & I have our birthdays literally a week apart at the end of May so now we will be partying for like a month straight since this little guy's will be just a week later than mine. Whoo-hooo . . .guess I'll just plan to take a whole month off right now! ;)

Were we in the "market" to get a pup? No. I LOVE dogs. Heck I would own a few of them if I could but as of right now, my family & I live in a condo so my policy on 'no-dogs-until-we-get-a-house' always was on my mind. We are praying things work out & we DO get a house soon & can move here in the next year or so . . . that was when I promised my daughter we could think about a dog. You see, I am one of those who don't think it's fair to have dogs UNLESS they have a place to run, play in a yard, etc. But then my husband started asking me too . . .what about a little dog? Well . . . it changed from no, to we'll see. ;)

So how did I find Chili? My friend, Matt, has this dog . . . a Maltipoo & she had pups & I just happen to run into him right after she did. And he had pics of the pups. Then I started thinking . . . well this IS a very tiny dog & how awesome would it be to give my daughter the BIGGEST thing she has ever asked for & been wanting for, like years?!!!! Pretty cool indeed!!!!! She was in LOVE with him. Guess who just won "Mom of the year" award? 
Yeah . . .ahhhhh . . .what can I say? lol

Love this picture . . . his first shopping trip! lol Train 'em young right? ;) See what he picked out? That green faced friend of his is his FAVE right now!

 


He's had a busy first few days here & is realizing that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to take pics of him! He loves it . . . can't ya tell? Already posing for the camera . . .
the shy pose, profile pose & the 'when-I-do-this-face-I-get-whatever-I-want' pose!

I have not had a dog in almost 10 years & I am so glad we added him to our family this week. Has it been an adjustment? Sure as there is LOTS for him to learn but ya know what? He's one smart little pup. He's doing pretty good potty training, knows a couple commands fairly well, loves to play & loves small pieces of crushed ice! He comes running anytime someone is getting crushed ice from the fridge! lol He's sleeping through the night without whining & adjusting quite well in my opinion. It has definitely been a week of "firsts" for him.
 

I hope you have enjoyed these pics of my new little ECED's mascot! LOL Oh yes. He will be working with me on some projects that I have up my sleeve already! He will be fun to work with . . . in between all of his puppy naps! That Chili is so silly! ;)

 
I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations on a couple things: I would LOVE any advice on good organic puppy treats. I want to make sure he has good, healthy treats & give him what's best for his well being, so what do you use? I also welcome any tips on potty training or breaking the chewing habit with puppies . . . he's doing well with it but any good advice that you used would be greatly appreciated. Potty training I've been told, is just being consistent but I actually had a neighbor tell us today that she trained her small dog to potty on paper - like always! Never went outside! Is that crazy or not so much? Also I got him a teething bone to help with chewing . . . he likes it but doesn't work all the time but I am sure nothing does. 

I do want to THANK my friend Matt for letting me adopt this little boy! I can't imagine NOT having him now. THANK YOU MATT!!!! ;)

I would love the feedback! Anything you want to share . . . places I need to check out for puppy supplies . . . or maybe you have a puppy that looks like Chili! Let me know that too . . . 
Until next time . . .Chili says "nice to meet ya". xoxo
