Hello, Spring {Printable}

Happy First Day of Spring!!! 

I'm not sure what the weather is like where you are, but here in Las Vegas, Spring has Sprung!  In fact, in a few minutes I will be blowing up our bounce house in the backyard, so Preston and his friends can get all of their sillies out.  

To celebrate this wonderful time of year, I have created a Free Printable for you all. Feel free to print this 8x10 out and display it where you see fit! 

I also made this beauty the other day for my front door:

Free Printable Christmas Gift Tags

Has anyone else been booked to the max this Christmas Season?   I've been busy wrapping gifts, checking off the Christmas to-do list, and getting ready for our annual trip to Maui. I swear every day we have something going on.  My calendar has been so packed, that I had to set aside some time today to finish up my Christmas shopping and wrap presents. The time is flying and I feel the the month of December is whizzing by!

One of the projects I have been working on, are creating gift tags.  Here is one I made for our family:

I decided to wrap all of my presents in Kraft paper this year, and decorate with pretty ribbons and fun gift tags.

Like These: 

Feel free to save them to your computer and print them out for your personal use. Happy present wrapping!! 

25 Days of Christmas Books: Free Tag Download

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.  I cooked all day and then ate all night ;)  It was a fun evening and I slept great that night :)

Now that Thanksgiving is over, The Christmas Season is in full force in the Sanders household.  The tree is up, the lights are hung, and Christmas music is on.  I LOVE the holiday season.  Such a joyful time of year.

One of my goals, is to pass on the anticipation of Christmas, to Preston.  This year will be so fun.  Last year was fun, but he didn't get it. This year he understands, and is in awe of everything is fun time of year brings. He even got his own little Christmas Tree to decorate this year. We set it up in his play room for him to admire.  I want to eventually put it in his bedroom, but this was not the year to start that. The poor tree would never survive even one night.  We had a fun morning of unpacking christmas decor, decorating his tree, and reading Christmas books.

One of the traditions that we started last year with Preston, was 25 Days of Books.  See my post, here.  

Since is starts tomorrow, I have been busy wrapping up all of the books. I decided to keep it simple this year and use kraft paper and washi tape.  

Since the kraft paper is very plain, I decided that I needed something to dress up the front of the package. So, I hopped on Photoshop and whipped up some tags. 

Do you share our same tradition? If you do, and you are looking for something to make it extra special, you can download and print the below. Merry (Early) Christmas :)

Hope you are all having a fun long weekend with your families!

Free Printable Thanksgiving Menus

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is a week away? Time is seriously flying!  

Today was a rare rainy day here in Vegas, which means that I got to snuggle up on the couch with my Sweet Boy and watch a movie :) His movie of choice was....drum roll please....Toy Story 2 (SHOCKING!!) ;) While he was enjoying his movie, I got crafty on my laptop, and created a few Thanksgiving pretties.

Brown:

 White:

These will print out as 8x10s.  I couldn't decide whether I wanted to frame my 8x10 and place it on the buffet, or place a 5x7 mini menu at everyone's place setting. So, I also made 5x7's in each color.  If you are interested in a 5x7, please leave me a comment, and I will email you one.

Stay tuned for some name tags that match!

Happy Thursday, before Thanksgiving!

Now that our Christmas Tree is up, and presents have started to arrive, I've started wrapping gifts.  After I had wrapped my first gift, I realized that I didn't have any gift tags. So....i decided to have some fun with photoshop.   Why buy gift tags, when you can download them for free?!

Tada!!!!!!:

I got some inspiration, here, by lovevsdesign.com

Download them here.  You can either print them on cardstock, cut them out, and tape onto presents. Or, you can print them on sticker paper, cut them out, and attach to presents.

Silly Christmas Gift Tags & A Free Reindeer Printable

I was browsing through my Pinterest Boards today, and stumbled upon these cute tags, by Mer Mag.  I've been wanting to make some tags for Christmas gifts, and fell in love with this idea.  She provides the link to the hat, reindeer antlers & nose, so all you need to do is find a cute picture, and photoshop them in. 

This is my final product:

Santa hat, reindeer nose & antlers found here.  Tag Clipping Mask found at jessicasprague.com

Thursday is Thanksgiving, and I honor the holiday by not decorating for Christmas until Friday.  I think Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time to sit down and pinpoint all of the things we are thankful for.

BUT, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! The feeling it gives me, the yummy food, the fun music, the feel-good-movies, the season of giving, the crafts, decorating the house & tree, the look of excitement on all of the kiddos faces.  I love it all!!

So....because I know lots of people have either started decorating for Christmas or are looking for christmas decorating ideas, I created some fun & FREE Christmas Printables.

All materials used to create these printables are from jessicasprague.com

I hope your Thanksgiving is relaxing & special.  Hop you eat lots of turkey and pumpkin pie.  Have fun decorating!

XOXO,

Miss C's Pancake & Pajamas Birthday Party...Continued

A few days ago, I posted Part One of Miss C's "Pancakes & Pajamas" 2nd Birthday Party. I promised you pictures of all the yummy & cute details.  Luckily, Miss C's Mama, Adria, is a wonderful photographer! She was sweet enough to quickly snap a few pictures of the big day for me. 

I may have made a few of the decorations, but Adria did a wonderful job decorating, and tying it all together.  

Some of my favorite special touches:

1. The Fruit Loop vase fillers

2. The cute cupcake sippy cups

3. The cozy bed slipper favors

4. All of the adorable kiddos running around in their PJ's.

Preston had his first taste of chocolate milk at Miss C's 2nd Birthday.  He was in HEAVEN!! I wish I had snapped a picture of his precious face as he gulped it down.

What a wonderful day celebrating a sweet 2 year old. Happy Birthday, once again, Miss C!

I will close, with this precious pictures of Miss C. If this doesn't capture the wonder and anticipation that birthdays bring....I'm not sure what does. Sure does melt my heart! 

Happy Friday!

XOXO,
