Hello lovelies!

I am all about spreading some early holiday cheer, so just in time to get them in the mail, I have for you a free Christmas card download. My design features the saying "Merry Christmas" in 20 different languages on the front in the shape of a whimsical tree. The inside message reads "Merry Christmas to All" and the finished card fits a standard 4 3/8 x 5 3/4 invitation envelope.  Enjoy!

Wow! A great big THANK YOU to the Blog Guide Book for this lovely 2011 Calendar download and it's FREE. A bit of printing, a few hole punches and some white satin ribbon later, I am so ready to start the new year with style. Hooray!

Another fabulous free download to share, this time from Bake It Pretty! The ladies at Bake It Pretty are kind enough to share two colorways of this festive holiday bunting, - cinnamon & snowflakes and pistachio & pink! Each PDF has the entire alphabet, numbers and punctuation to allow you to create a custom holiday message---how fun! Head over to bake it pretty for the downloads and more information. Enjoy!

Saw these and had to share. Be sure to visit Eat, Drink, Chic to download these free printable gift tags. Dont you just love?

These are just fun! I was so excited when I stumbled upon these great wine labels from Better Homes and Gardens---the best part is they are free! BHG has many designs to choose from for your Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday wine giving. What a way to make a bottle of wine for a hostess gift look anything but last minute. Thanks BHG!

Here is a fun little project I came up with today, candy corn party hats:



Party Hat Tutorial:

Party hats are really easy to make, especially after you've made the first one.

Your will need:

Free Candy Corn Party Hat Template
a color printer
8.5x11" white cardstock
2 lengths of narrow white ribbon
double sided tape
scissors
a hole punch

First print the template and cut it out along the yellow edge, so that you have a semi circle. Then trim along the small black half circle on the straight edge. Use a hole punch to punch out the two. small black dots in the yellow stripe. Using the double sided tape, join the straight edges to form a cone. Thread one length of white ribbon through each hole. Tie a knot on the inside ends to secure the ribbon to the hat.

I hope you enjoy this fun little project and I would like to say a big thank you to Lizzie-Lou, my weimaraner and reluctant hat model
