I found this month's free desktop calendar from Brooke Witt Art & Design.

I love it!  It's so springy.

You can find it here.

:: Free - March desktop calandar

Free March desktop that I'm using this month.

Can be found at Oh the Lovely Things.

:: Valentine's Day free printable

So I haven't offered a free printable in awhile.

I need to start creating more.

I just wish I had more time . . . 

Anyway, I designed this last February for an online class I was taking.

I found this quote by St. Augustine and loved it.

So, go here to download this print.

Would be a beautiful addition to your Valentine's Day decor!

:: Thanksgiving - free printables

If I were hosting Thanksgiving this year,
 I'd definitely be using these free printables from the TomKat Studio.
  This just screams Thanksgiving!
Maybe someday . . . .

:: Halloween - free printable card

Last year, I was inspired by The Busy Budgeting Mama and created this pop-up Halloween card for the girl's grandparents.

They all loved them.

So, I think it might be a yearly tradition.

This year I made it slightly different but with the same wording.

And I also made one for you to give out to your loved ones.

Print it out, cut out the pics, put it on a stick, and mail it!

So easy!

You can go here to print it off.

And I wish I could show you the pictures of the ones we made this year,

but my computer isn't working right now (uploading photos).

So, maybe next week.

Also, thanks to Sprik Space for the free design.

Have a great weekend!
We have a trunk or treat we'll be going to
and hopefully after, we'll carve our pumpkins!

:: Crafts - end of school year treats

It was Ava's last day of preschool today.

They had a little program that the parents were able to watch.

Talk about adorable.

I found this cute "end of school year" bag topper

from Anything But Perfect.

And thank goodness we have a WinCo near us.

That's where we bought the yummy candy (for cheap).

We gave them to each of her classmates.

So, go here to print these free printables!

Oh, and guess what Ava wants to be when she grows up?

A ballerina and a dentist.

{I guess the visit to the dentist's office wasn't a complete failure.}

Although, when I ask her, she always seems to say "a ballerina, a dentist, and a nurse."

Look at my little multi-tasker!

:: Free - iPhone wallpaper

{sprik space}

I absolutely LOVE these free iPhone downloadable wallpaper from Sprik Space!

My iPhone is currently sporting the diagonal turquoise.

{and I was surprised how easy it was to do, too}

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

:: Free - christmas card templates

So you know me. 

All about saving money.
Especially with christmas cards.
That can get pretty expensive, ya know.

But they need to look classy too.

Well, it's that time again to send out Chirstmas cards.

And I've found some cards online

that you can download for free, insert your picture,

and then print them out yourself.

So much cheaper then having someone 

else designing a card for you or going to snapfish or some other

online distributer like that.

So check out these free downloads.

These are my favorites I've found.

Need a Father's Day Card?

Free: Lemonade Stand Printables

When I was a child, we'd always have

lemonade stands during the summer.

We'd go to our neighbors' home and

pick their lemons {with permission of course}

and then make some delicious lemonade.

With all our earnings, we'd then walk to 7-Eleven

and spend it on overpriced candy and slurpees.

Well, Ava's a little too young to be doing this right now

but maybe next year {when I don't worry that she'll run

into the street 50 million times}.

Loved these printables that The Homespun Hostess

made. And they're free! Check them out here. Definitely

next year.

{By the way, check out her blog and follow her! She has some amazing party ideas.}

Great deals that expire on May 15th

So, I was watching Oprah yesterday (9 more left!) and on her makeover show, she said that if you go to her site, you can print out a coupon for 50% off a single, regular priced item at Old Navy. I printed mine right away. You need to print it by today(the 13th) and use by the 15th. Guess where we're going today?

And, don't forget the free 8x10 canvas from Canvas People. This offer is valid until May 15th also. Click below to go to their site.

Have a great weekend!!!

craft: mother's day card and canvas

Whoa. Mother's Day is definitely creeping up on us. Here are a few ideas. It's next Sunday people!!!
Last year, this was given to me by Ava for Mother's Day. So cute and so easy! I actually still have it hanging on my fridge {the wings are traced from her hand}. Just place a magnet on the back.

I think we might make these for Reese and Ava's grandmas.

The poem:
This isn't just a butterfly as you can plainly see.
I made it with my hand which is a part of me. It comes with lots of love especially to say,
I hope you have a very Happy Mother's Day!

or if you aren't into the diy card thingy . . . a photo canvas is a great gift to give your mother/grandmother or {send this post to your hubby - - he'll get the clue}.
Right now Canvas People still has their deal of a free 8x10 and you just pay for shipping, plus they'll do free touchups {for mother's day}. Just click here. {although if you buy one today, you won't get it in time for Mother's Day - - but still an awesome late gift, right?}

Oh, and don't forget about my giveaway! It ends on Saturday!
And I'll be linking to these parties here.

Free: "He lives" printable

This Sunday I get to teach the Easter lesson to my girls at church.

I made this printable for them and maybe you could use it for your lesson or to just display in your house. Perfect for the Easter season or just year round!

Just right click and save to your computer. Then print!

{wondering what D&C is, you can find more about it here}

I'll be linking to these parties here.
