JOY JAR

JOY JAR...

this can be a service project, gift for charity, gift for family or friend...

Spread a little joy around you. A JOY JAR, which holds a daily inspirational message, will keep giving and giving!

Type 365 or 31 inspirational messages, depending on if you want your JOY JAR to last for a full year or a full month. These can be Scripture verses, inspirational thoughts, or smile provokers. You can find these on inspirational calendars, topical books, joke books, or make up your own. Print these on different colored sheets of paper, then cut into strips. Fold each strip into a small piece with the message inside. Place in a decorated glass jar. Attach a note that says:

It is hoped this JOY JAR will help you start each day with a spiritual boost, and inspirational thought, or a smile. As the year/month progresses, may your days be bright and full of JOY.

Give this to secret pals, shut-ins, special friends, or anyone you can use a boost each day.

*I love this idea... I am reposting this from my post in June of 2009...  What a great idea this is and so inspirational and uplifting!!!

Floral Bookmark Printables

Paulette at Create with TLC has a week long challenge to use her images and be the first to submit them to her and get a free set from her store.  I used a floral image as well as wordart...  To use these, click to save to your own computer and print when you need a bookmark...

I love reading and have a hard time making time for it...but when I do I enjoy a nice bookmark to save my place...  KEEP CALM AND READ ON ...

Happy Spring,

St Patrick's Day Stationery Printable

Here is another St. Patrick's Day printable.

I am going to use the wordart seal as the seal to the back of the notecard and the small shamrock seal as an element inside of the card attached with a glue dot and then write my letter around it.

Word art is from Paulette at Create with TLC.

Template and Layout is by myself.

Shamrock fill is from the www.

Good ole fashioned letter writing has taken a backseat to the technology world.  I really believe a hand written note of thanks, greeting, invitation, etc is appreciated and personal.  Let's bring back the hand written notes!

HUGS,

RhondaSue

SNOWMAN BUBBLES & HOLIDAY CUTUPS printables

This is a topper I did a few years ago and when I went to print that file, I was not happy with the quality of the print ~~ So I redid it!  The snowman image is from Paulette at Create with TLC.
It was part of her WINTER SCRAPPIN CLUB 2007.  I have made my own bubble wands with wire and plastic beads along with a bottle of "miracle bubbles" as the label on the bottle already calls them!  These will be on my craft table tomorrow so I will get pictures of it all then and post on Sunday or Monday.

I also redid the topper I used years ago... I created the concept of a "HOLIDAY CUT-UP".  I did one for Easter and Halloween and Thanksgiving too!  This one is redone for CHRISTMAS.

In the baggie this gets attached to, I included two cookie cutters and a 3x4 ziploc baggie that has sprinkles/jimmies in it.  I included 2 TBSP of the topping with the two cookie cutters and attached the topper.


Both of these toppers sell for $2.50.

This topper gets put onto a 3x4 baggie with oatmeal and colored sugar or Christmas Sprinkles used for decorating cookies ...

The Reindeer topper is created by Paulette too! I just added the wording...


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merri-MINT

This topper is used to put over a 3x4 ziploc

bag with the red and white mints in the bag.

The image is from Paulette in her Nov 2008

Club.  The striped background is also from

her and I layered, turned and made it a plaid.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Candy Cane Legend Card Printable

First thing I've made for 2014...

new window and then save to your own computer.

Here is the card I made in 2009:

Merry Christmas!

WOW... time has gotten away from me!

I guess this is what happens when you take on jobs outside of the home for other people.  My time is never my own any more.  I apologize to you as well as myself.  I am trying to figure out how to get some "me" time back and back to creating again...  Yesterday was my 48th Birthday and I decided that I need to find "ME" again!  It has been far too long that "I've" been in the back seat.  I hope to see you more frequently in the month ahead!

HAPPY DECEMBER,
MERRY CHRISTMAS
