Paper Birdhouse... a free download

Have you looked out the window lately? Or better yet, have you gotten out the gardening gloves and trowel? So inspired by what is going on in the garden these days, I wanted to give you all something to help celebrate and decorate the season.

Nothing says Spring better than a bright and cute Birdhouse. With two printable designs to choose from - pink with orange butterflies, and lavender with green butterflies - just print and cut and hang to your heart's content. Now, these won't be very weatherproof so you might want to bring them in at night.

You could also use these to decorate your Easter celebration next Sunday. Make our downloadable paper Birdhouses from sturdy card stock, and the Easter bunny could easily hide candy and treats inside. I would LOVE to see what you come up with - be sure to send pictures!

A List a Mile Long

This year, my gift buying list is considerably shorter than in years past, and yet it is still about a mile long. Fourteen gifts for kids under 10, nine gifts for the over 30 set, fifteen "family" gifts (baked goods or family photographs), six neighbor gifts, ten teacher gifts, and then there is my own family to buy for.

I had better get started!

If you need a little helping hand, a little inspiration for the shopping extravaganza that you are about to embark upon, here is a little download to get you through the season... a Nordic style Holiday Gift to do List.

Cute, huh?

Thanks! Our gift to you...

Can you believe it? Two years! Yes folks, it's our anniversary this month, and we want to celebrate... with you! It's become a bit of a tradition of ours, to offer a Thanksgiving tablescape to give away, but this year we had a special request. A good friend asked if we had plans to design a set to go with canned fruits and home made baked goods, so that she could put them on her Holiday gifts. What a GREAT IDEA! So here you have it... a FREE Thanksgiving Anniversary gift to you, our Harvest Collection.

Included are:
Jar Labels ~ 3 sizes +
Hang Tags +
Recipe Cards
2” Rounds +
  (use as garland, party food labels, cupcake toppers and more)
Mini Loaf Bread Band +
Full Pattern Sheet

Those items with a + sign are CUSTOMIZABLE! That's right, you get to input your very own personalized information using Adobe Reader (free from adobe.com).
* The collection is available on our website for FREE * add it to your cart, sign in, and checkout, wait for your confirmation email, click the service link to download

A special thank you to Sandi Hill for letting us photograph her beautiful (and tasty too) canned goods. Also, to The New City School Farm for letting us use their fabulous new urban farm as a backdrop for this shoot.

Oh, and be sure to drop by tomorrow, for two more Thanksgiving FREEBIES!

This collection is available for free for a limited time only - get yours before time runs out on November 30th!

A Beautiful Blog

It is pretty, isn't it. Out with the old, and in with the new, we always say. And what better way to showcase that sentiment than with a new feature on the blog. You will notice at the top of the page, just under the logo, a new navigation bar! Here is an easy way to get from place to place on the blog without having to scroll down through gorgeous photo after gorgeous photo.

The buttons are fairly self explanatory, you should take a little self guided tour. Stroll through the information, peruse the links and photos. And while you are there, I hope you notice the "Freebie!" page. There, you will not only get a free downloadable PDF, but a video tutorial to go along with it!

Our very first Step by Step video tutorial. Make sure to download this free sample snack box first. 

 

Are you using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader? Have fun with it!


PS - Check back on Monday (July 19th) for an entire week of GIVEAWAYS!
