31 days of warming up to the holidays: {day 3} thank you notes

As we creep closer to the holidays, the sales and online deals seem to get better and better!  One such deal is for photo cards.  I always see coupon codes floating around for free cards, free shipping, etc. and took advantage of one of these deals last year to make these photo thank you notes.  I am often needing to drop a quick thank you note in the mail, but I was always looking for a card to write on.  Now I have these cute (at least I think so!) 4 x 8 photo cards to write on! 



I simply uploaded one of my favorite pictures of our little guy from last year’s Christmas card “photo
shoot” and intentionally left some of the space blank on the right-hand side.  I added the words “thank you” on top of the picture and placed my order!  Now when I need to jot a quick thank you note, I have a cute card with about 2x4 inches of space to write in.

These would make a great gift idea, too!  So keep your eyes open for those photo card deals and make your own cute, custom thank you notes!

31 days of warming up to the holidays: {day 2} isaiah 9:6

I love the idea of using Scripture as art in our homes.  I have designed 4 printables for these 31 days…a new one will be posted each Sunday.  If you’d like to download a .pdf of Isaiah 9:6, click here.

I’m so glad that child was born…are you?

31 days of warming up to the holidays: {day 1} welcome

Welcome to 31 Days of Warming Up to the Holidays!  I plan to share different ways that you can warm up your home (and your heart) for the holidays including decorating tips, home-made gifts, preparing your heart for the season, and a random mix of everything else!

This post will serve as the “landing page” for the 31 days.  If you are looking for new posts or want to read ones that you missed, you can easily find them here!  I will also add a link to the series in the right sidebar as well.
