Santa's Underwear candy/gift card holder

uggh. I'm having serious problems with my printer today! Not sure if I will be able to get the handout done that I wanted to and posted to share! I'm so sorry!

Since I don't have the handout today I thought it would be fun to share this pattern that's been in my family for years! I love giving this to my kids' teachers for Christmas and they are always a hit!

All you do is cut the two pieces out then glue or sew around the edges leaving only the top open. Then you can use "Santa's underwear" to give a small gift, candy, or a gift card to someone for Christmas. You can use fabric, felt, or paper.... i love paper! ♥ Here's the pattern and you can print it as large as you need to by resizing it.

Enjoy & Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Hope you enjoy your fun-filled day with food, family, friends, football, and lots of love! ♥

I just wanted to check in and say I haven't forgotten about my little ole handout blog. To be honest I've just given myself a little more "recovery" time than I normally do with my sweet little caboose. She's our last little one so I have been soaking up every moment of the "newborn" stage with her that I can. Still so fresh from heaven..... it's hard not to want to just hold her all day.

Anyway, I am taking a trip, just me and the baby, back home to Arizona next weekend for my sister's wedding in the Mesa Temple. When I get home it will be time to kick things back in high gear again and I will be back in business here on the blog! Have ya even missed me? LOL!

♥Love and hugs!♥

One of my greatest creations!

I just wanted to pop in here and say HI and give you a baby update!

Sweet little Chloe Anne Vineyard made her way into our world and hearts on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. She weighed in at 9lbs 7oz and was 22inches long. All this at almost two weeks early!

Momma & baby are doing well. Trying to get adjusted to new routines and all that comes with little sleep. HA! We are excited to have this sweet little angel in our family and are thoroughly enjoying her! Thanks for all your sweet comments and prayers!

Be back soon! Hugs! ♥

Special Delivery Update

Hey there! Just wanted to check in and give ya the heads up on what's going on over here! I am getting ready to give birth to my 5th child. If I don't have this sweet baby by about the 7th of November my doctor will be inducing me. Sooooooo.... that being said.... please forgive me if I don't post much over the next 3 weeks or so. Life is a bit crazy here! I promise to keep you posted and let you know when I will be back to taking special orders.

Thanks for understanding!

"Picture Perfect" YW in Excellence Invite

So I got an email from Erin last week asking if I had any ideas she could use for their Young Women in Excellence invitations. Of course I couldn't say NO and my brain jumps at the chance at a little creativity so here's what I came up with for her.

I guess the theme they are using for the night is "Picture Perfect" which I thought was super cool! Erin also said that they wanted to convey how "Picture Perfect" the girls are in exemplifying the YW values in their lives. So good!!! I used the theme of their YW organization this year inside the "framed picture". Anyway.... I thought it would be fun to share this on my blog since there will be lots of YW in Excellence nights going on over the next few months! Maybe this will help with ideas for some of you! ♥♥♥

Lesson #39 - Drug Abuse

I thought with this being October and Halloween quickly approaching that I would do a Halloween type handout for this lesson. Here is the link to the witch hat which I just sized how I needed it then printed onto cardstock. Once I printed it I cut it out and added the ribbon to it then used some foam tape/pop-dots to make it stick up off the handout a little. I love dimensional stuff. It adds some personality. You don't have to add the ribbon. There's a cool yellow buckle on the original. Here's the pdf for the handout you can print up too. Super cute and easy! Just how I like them!

OH!!! I also wanted to say thanks for all the Love & feedback on the previous post! It's sooooo cool to see and hear where ya'll are checking in from around the globe! You still have until Wednesday the 21st to post and get entered into the free handouts drawing! Woot! Woot! ♥
