Merry Christmas to “Olive” You!

Christmas, Gift ideas, Printables, , , , , , , , ,

I have one last Christmas Gift idea for you, I know that it is very last minute and you may just want to save this idea for next year, but  I could not show this before now, because this is what I gave some of my neighbors.  This is a fun idea for those who are watching their health.  (Which should be all of us, right?)   It is a very easy, yet great idea, because it is something that most of us would use, but don’t always buy!

Just get a bottle of olive oil and tie a big bow or two around the bottle along with this tag!

Mistle”toes” Gift Idea

I have seen this fun idea out there in blog land and thought that it was so cute that I needed to do it for my granddaughters!  It seems like all the kids have crazy sock day at school, so they could use these for that, right?  I found these darling snowman socks at Target and just had to get them, and these socks are just so soft and warm that they can wear them for slippers.

Thursday’s Thought – Glory to the Newborn King

Christmas, Gift ideas, Printables, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

Can you believe that this is the last Thursday’s Thought before Christmas?!  Where did December go?  How are all of your Christmas preparations coming?  Are you in panic mode, or enjoying the season mode?  I am somewhere in the middle of that.  I have most of the projects done and the shopping done, now I just need to get the wrapping and the delivering done!  :)

I thought that I would save this thought for right before Christmas because this is the

Real Reason for the Season.

Thursday’s Thought-May Your Days Be…

Christmas, Crafts, Gift ideas, Printables, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

How is everyone doing with all of your Christmas preparations?  I am going a little bit crazy about now!  I am realizing that there are only two weeks left until Christmas and really I only have a week and a half for all of my family gifts, because we will have our Christmas party a few days early because it is not our year for Christmas.  

(We do every other year for Christmas and Thanksgiving to try to accommodate the in-laws.)

I have been sewing like a crazy lady the last three days!  I have sewn 3 quilt tops and quilted two of them!  I will get the other one quilted tomorrow and then I will have to do all of the bindings!  That is what takes me a long time because of all the hand stitching, but I guess that I will just have to put on couple of good Christmas movies and see how much I can get done!  :)  I will post about them after I  have given them to the recipients!

Here is my thought for today.

  I hope that all of your days are Merry & Bright and that all of your Christmas wishes are coming true!

Thursday’s Thought- No Pouting Zone

Christmas, Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , ,

How is everyone coming with all of your Christmas preparations?  I have all my decorating done, but really need to hit the shopping and it is just too cold to go outside today, so I guess I have better work on some projects that I have here at home!

Here is my thought for today!  When my children were small I needed this sign!  So I though it would be fun to make a little reminder that you might want to print and display somewhere in your house where the little ones can see it!  :)

 (I meant you, not the kids!)

December 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout

Candy, Christmas, Church, Gift ideas, Printables, Quotes, VT Handouts, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  We had a great one even though there was a lot of excitement in our neighborhood!  One of our neighbors had a fire in their home on Thanksgiving morning!  The home received smoke damage and damage to half of the house, but it is not a total loss, thank goodness!  We are hoping that they will be able to move back in a week or two!  But it will probably take months to get their home all put back together!  It really makes you stop and count your blessings and my number one blessing is always my family, as was our neighbor’s!  Everyone was safe and that was the most important thing!

But now, here is the December visiting teaching handout for Relief Society for my church  I love that it is all about the Savior for this month, because to me that is what Christmas is all about!  

I chose to focus on this quote by  Elder D. Todd Christofferson.

Thursday’s Thought-Life Does Not Have To…

Printables, Quotes, Thanksgiving, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

Today’s thought does not really need any introduction nor explanation.  

This little thought says it just how it is!

Friends-and-Family-000-Page-1

I am thinking that this would be a great one to print and frame.  It is a good reminder about how good life is!

 Maybe I need to print this for my Thanksgiving table, or you could print and frame this for a hostess gift for the one that hosts your Thanksgiving dinner!  (If that person is you, so be it!)

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Thursday!

Love Ya!

72 Hour Food Kits

Church, Gift ideas, Preparedness, Printables, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I mentioned last week about an activity that we had for Relief Society for our church.  We made 72 hour food kits to put in a 72 hour emergency kit.  These kits contain enough food for one person for 72 hours.  They have non-perishable foods in them.  The only thing that you have to add is water.  It would also be great to have your own portable stove or Bunsen burner to heat the water for the hot chocolate or to make the soup, but of course, you could eat these things cold.  If you were hungry, it would not matter!
