Did you see my Christmas cards? I got them ready to go last week and they are amazing! However the plain white envelopes left a lot to be desired. I decided to whip up some festive wrap around labels using my favorite flag labels from Online Labels. Did you know that with every purchase from Online Labels you get a free subscription to Maestro Design Software? It is pretty much the coolest. It is perfectly paired with all their label sizes and you never have to worry about the margins and ... Read the Post

Hot Chocolate and Holiday Scavenger Hunt
One of our holiday traditions is to fill the kids up a mug of hot chocolate and head out on a holiday decoration adventure. This year I decided to create a fun scavenger hunt checklist for our adventure. The kids each got their own holiday scavenger hunt checklist (a picture one, because I have little ones) and a mug of cocoa and we were off! I also decided this year to upgrade our cocoa experience and I created a few different cocoa melts. The really nice thing about these is that you ... Read the Post
Staples Holiday Cards
Hi, my name is Ashley and I don't send Holiday Cards. It's not because I don't want to. I really, really do. Sometime around July I start thinking about them. I plan fabulous, handmade, layered cards. With sparkles, and photos and magic oozing from them. Then November rolls around and I remember these fabulous plans and they turn into store bought cards with updated family photos, except I haven't scheduled family photos. Then December rolls around and I realize that I never bought store ... Read the Post

Wood Blocks for Holiday Decorating
My friend and I went thrifting the other night. It was an almost magical experience because we went without children! Between you and me, I can’t remember the last time I went to a thrift store without a baby strapped to my body and a toddler in a cart! First stop was a spot I’d never been to, but let me tell you this folks it was HUGE. I’m talking old grocery store converted into thrift store big. Even though I went looking for upcycles and craft supplies I was quickly sucked in by the ... Read the Post
