Favorite Stocking Stuffers for Kids ($5 and under!)

(All the Little Mr. and Miss Books on Amazon)
Stocking stuffers are my favorite things to shop for, especially since they don't require any wrapping :)

And for the next week, all necklaces in The Shop are 1/2 off with Free Shipping! They make perfect stocking stuffers!!

Instant Gratification!

I saw these Spray-Painted Straw Baskets in Martha Stewart Living this weekend and couldn't resist. I already had silver Rust-oleum and some old baskets so it was a quick DIY. The possibilities are endless!!
I can't wait to try the Tassels with raffia...
The Privet House Wicker Collection would be perfect for spray painting and entertaining! Bonne chance!

V-Day Crafts...

I'm dying to make these little goody bags this weekend- all you need is liquid fabric stiffener and a few balloons to hold the mold. They would be perfect for Valentine's treats! Also loving this simple Pom Pom Window Garland...
I made these Fabric Window Valentines with gift wrapping paper leftover from Christmas...
You need thick card stock, fabric or paper, and embroidery thread+needle. They're pretty self-explanatory but you can get detailed instructions HERE. The perfect excuse to get out a needle and thread this weekend!
(I'm tempted to use the back as the front of the card!)

Heat-Embossed Stationary

Inspired by this look, I made my own stationary using a heat embosser...
I used card stock from Paper Source:

"Personalized"
The options are endless!!

Express Your Gratitude

Rifle Paper Co. Thank You Card
Occasions pop up all year long, especially after the holidays, when it's polite (and sometimes necessary) to send a Thank You Note. I like to have stationary and stamps on hand so there's no excuse to procrastinate. For most Thank You Notes, a Correspondence Card (heavy card stock, no fold) or Fold-Over Note (most formal) is appropriate. As for the note itself, make it heartfelt and sincere. If you don't have much to say, take size into account when choosing your stationary. Less space means a shorter note!
(it's perfect, thank you so much, i love it, wow, how did you know, you're the best)
Pinstripe Thank You from Crane, ideal for the business world.
Tiffany Dragonfly Correspondence Cards, for any kind of Thank You.
Hand Bordered Correspondence Cards from Crane, just like Jackie O.
Make it personal with Ensley Initial Notes from Sugar Paper.
(You can make a similar look with blank correspondence cards and an initial rubber stamp.)
Stock up with the Stationary Library by Jack and Lulu.
(personalize for an additional fee)
Make your own!
For our holiday thank you notes, I'm using wrapping paper (recycled from a gift to Pearl) to cover notecards and line envelopes. I followed this tutorial but used permanent double-sided tape instead of a glue stick and scissors instead of a paper cutter. For decorative paper, check out Paper Source.
