Sweet Tones

Urchin Tones:

Stained Tones:

As usual, these gift tags have been formatted to fit onto Letter Sized paper or card stock. I suggest card stock, and they are 2.75″ in diameter, so a 3″ punch would fit them perfectly! You could attach them to a gift with tape, or punch a small hole either in the side, or top and thread a ribbon through.

Hope you enjoy them! Click the link below to download the pdf!

Let me give you the background on the inspiration for this list form…

On In Between Laundry, a cute blog, I found this free printable list with a story about Charles M. Schwab, the American steel magnate of yesteryear, and Ivy Lee, who helped his company, Bethlehem Steel, increase productivity. Mr. Lee basically had the idea to put 6 things that were most important to get done on your to do list for the day, with the most bothersome thing at the top, and whatever items you don’t finish on the first day of the week, you put on the next day’s list, etc… ( That is a very simplistic paraphrase by me!) Well, I tried this, and it works! And I really thought it might be nice to make lists in my own style(s) for you to print out… I have made 4 different styles to choose from, print as many as you like! If you would like a very cute, modern, and COLORFUL list form, head on over to In Between Laundry to download Erin’s version…

I asked my readers: “Which Free Printable Would You Like to See Next?”

Here are the results!

Thank you notes and Gift tags were tied for 1st place! So, now for the resulting free printables… First up, Thank You notes! I have had such a thing for both chevron and houndstooth lately…. I made two color schemes, aqua and tan, and gray and kelly green. They are formatted to print 2 to a letter sized sheet, and print perfectly on Avery brand “Matte White Notecards”. However, you could also print them on card stock and cut them yourself. I just love the convenience and quality of the Avery notecards, plus, they come in a box with envelopes!

*Be sure to print these “Borderless”, scaled at 100% so they are nice and even!

The other day I found this Pin, about making your own I Spy Book for your kids, using their own toys! The woman who made this one did a fantastic job, and I exclaimed as I read her post, “I AM GOING TO DO THIS!!!” I knew my kids would love such a personal book to look through, containing their own toys, and it might even keep them busy on long car rides, at restaurants, etc. Very promising!

So, I got my huge roll of school variety white paper (from my mother the school teacher) and all of the baskets of toys, and got to work. The photos I made for my books are pretty easy, not too difficult for kids ages 3 to 5. But older kids would probably get bored with them. That’s my challenge with the last book I have to make for a little cousin. He’s 6, so I am going to add more photos, after I think it through a little more.

Here are some examples from my books:

I hope you enjoyed seeing how much fun these pages were to make, and I really hope that you go have fun making a DIY I Spy Book of your own! I can’t wait to give these to my kids… If you make one, leave a note in the comments with a link so I can see how creative you got! And be sure to click through to Delia Creates to see just how she made her books.

Drumroll please….

I will be offering a lot more free printable invitations, labels, stickers, etc. on my blog. You see, I have so much more fun when I’m making things for free. Like for friends, or to giveaway on the blog. Making things for profit is never as much fun. And having a successful Etsy shop is very hard when you’re a SAHM of three kids. I just don’t really have the time to devote to it right now, to drive traffic to my shop, and I don’t really want to spend money to advertise. Does that make me lazy??? Sorry if it does.

My shop has been more of a fun hobby, and a means to a little extra money, but without the proper time to devote to it, it really is VERY little extra money. And I really want people to use my stuff. I don’t want it to sit stale in my Etsy shop! So, I am seriously thinking of closing up shop, and just blogging and offering my creations for free. So I think I’ll start by putting my entire Ice Cream Social Party Pack on here for my loyal readers. Let me know what you think of it, and if you use it I would especially looooove to see some photos! Here is a small preview image of what you’ll receive in the free printable party pack:

Thanks so much for your patience while I was taking an (unannounced) break! Download link below… And as always, these free files are for personal use only, not commercial, and if you want to share them with your friends, please send them here to download! Thanks!
