Last Minute Gift Idea

Can you believe Christmas is only 6 days away?!?! I feel like Tyler and I just put up the tree! This is such a busy time of year for both my work and social life! But I love it! I am about done wrapping gifts for our family members. But it dawned on me that I left a few people out! Our neighbors, the mail man, my youth students, and a couple long distant cousins. So I had this simple and cheap Christmas gift idea! I used holiday to-go mugs and filled it with candy and packets of hot chocolate! I put a cute bow on top and gift tag and I was done! I think they turned out pretty great! Here are some pics! Let me know your last minute Christmas gift ideas! Or if you decided to give mine a try!

What's Inside ....

3 packets of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate!


Pieces of Godiva chocolates 


      I put these in some of the cups instead of the candy


Gift tags and bows are from Target 




Then I decided to add a little bag of Marshmallows to go with the Hot Chocolate! 
You can get these holiday bags at Dollar Tree.

I have always loved making personal birthday cards, so this year I thought, why not Christmas too?! I already had everything I needed to create the cards so the only thing that costed me was the stamps to mail them! Which is totally worth it to put a smile on my family's face with a little surprise in the mail! Here are some tips and pics of my DIY 2019 Christmas cards!  I used Christmas themed scrapbook paper and folded it over to make it thicker, like a card. I also added these cute scrapbook stickers.  They add so much cuteness to the cards!!  Nice stickers can be be pretty pricy at the craft stores, but my Grandma is so sweet and picks me up some stickers all year round when she goes to Goodwill and gets them for .99 for a brand new pack!

Focus On The Good

I hope everyone is doing well given the circumstances we are all dealing with. It comes and goes for me... sometimes I'm cool, and then other times it hits me like a ton of bricks that pretty much the whole world is on a lock down and I'm seeing some of my favorite local places in my town being forced to shut down. I'm the type of person that one minute I believe ignorance is bliss, then next minute, I'm trying to take on all of the world's problems. Funny how that works. But I've come to the realization that it's time to focus on the good things in life! There is absolutely nothing I can do about this global pandemic. But I CAN control my attitude about it and I CAN  control how to make the best use of my time. Here are a few ways I've been able to focus on the good: 1.
