Kiss this Year Goodbye! Love Note

I didn't plan to roll out a Love Note any time soon but when I want to give a small gift I just have to have a tag, and if I don't have another one in mind, I create it!  And then I think, maybe others would like this too?  So hopefully you do!

If there was ever a year to kiss goodbye, I'm pretty sure 2020 is it! haha  Wouldn't you love getting this from your minister-er, friend, or neighbor?  

You could fill a small bag with Hershey's Kisses, Always Lipgloss, my favorite NYX butter gloss (this color is Creme Brûlée), an EOS lip balm or Covergirl Lip product.  Or just tie up one lip product and attach the tag.  

Every one always needs a new lipgloss!  What better way to ring in the new year with a fun new tube!

I had a little hang up on wording.  I still think it should say KISS this year goodbye!  And maybe one day it will. haha but until then hopefully you still like it.

And I didn't know whether to put THIS year or LAST year.  So I did both!  Then you can have options and who doesn't love options!

Even if you don't want to print the tags you've got to check out NYX Butter Glosses, they are my favorite lip product for sure!! Happy New Year!! Here's to a better year ahead.

Christmas Children Books

 Livy loves books and she's especially loved all the fun Christmas books we have!  I have kept my eye out at Dollar Tree and the dollar section at Target and Walmart and have grabbed most from there.  A few have been hand me downs, some are mine from when I was younger, some are more expensive and some are very affordable.

We love books so we try to find a way around the price!  Some of Livy's favorites are the cheapest ones, and they are perfect for reading quickly which I love when it's time to go to sleep.  I store them with my Christmas decor so they are fun and new every December when I bring them out!

Merry Christmas Mouse!  is a cute one, we love What's a Christmas?, and Twas' the Night Before Christmas (these were a gift from my Mom, can't find a link sorry!), and Clifford's Christmas.  

Liv also loves The Christmas Alphabet, Jingle Bells, and The Story of Christmas (last two were more gifts from my Mom).

I try to get 1 or 2 new books every holiday to add to the collection too.  This year Santa brought Little Blue Truck's Christmas, and the elves brought Polar Express, 5 Minute Disney Christmas Stories, and I Believe in Santa Claus.

I love Christmas books and am always adding more and more to my wish list!  Let me know if you have a favorite that I should get!

December Love Note-He is the GIFT

 I wanted to round out the year with sharing one last monthly Love Note.  I'm not sure what next year has in store for this little old blog.  I have lots of ideas with recipes, parties, kid activities and so on...so let's see how they all turn out.  Instead of monthly I might do Seasonal/Quarterly Love Notes.  We'll see!  They just take a really long time to create and post.  If you use my Love Notes let me know and I'll be more motivated to keep going!

This month I'm sharing an oldie but a goodie!  I made these for my Singles Ward Relief Society when I was in the RS Presidency for Christmas gifts for each of the women.  It was simple but reminded them of the true meaning of Christmas which I love!  

I got some Peppermint Joe Joe's at Trader Joe's and dipped them in milk or white chocolate, then topped them with different toppings, crushed peppermint, drizzled chocolate, etc. BE WARE of the Gluten Free Peppermint Joe Joe's!  We accidentally got a box a year ago and they are nasty! If you're not near a TJ"s obviously use Oreo's!  I used THESE bags to package each individual cookie.  then just tape the top down in the back.  I separated the picture from the cookies so if people had aversions or allergies they could choose to take one or not.

Along with one dipped cookie I gave them a small 3X4 picture of Christ, I found a set from Seagull Book, I found some online HERE, or I've been able to find them in store near the pictures.  Just get a small variety pack and it will make it super easyI probably got 2 packs of pictures for under $5, which covered the main cost of the whole gift.  Then wrapped it with a small ribbon to look like a gift.  They could put the picture anywhere from their journal, car, room, fridge, the list could go on and on.
