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.

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.

You can find the "He is the GIFT!" tag-HERE!

Berry-July Love Notes

I'm actually kind of enjoying this end of the month Love Note business.  Not that it's ideal to give out that month obviously but you have a fresh Love Note for all your needs the following month.  Instead of being days or even weeks late I'm actually a day ahead of the month. haha  Maybe one day I'll get back to posting them at the starting of each month but not today.

This Love Note is perfect for all those beautiful berries we're finishing up this summer!  Obviously you can focus on strawberries like I did but there are so many cute berry things that would be so great with this tag.


Obviously I think berries and cream! Yum!  Whip up a batch of fresh whipped cream, put it in a cute little ramekin and give a small carton of strawberries with it and they have dessert for the whole family. Pretty healthy and delicious!


Or if you're feeling like baking make a little pound cake loaf.  All you need are these small loaf pans, regular baking ingredients and lemon extract!  I'll be sharing the recipe soon!  It's from my sweet Grandma and it's so delicious!


Wrap some fresh whipped cream, washed and sliced strawberries and a mini loaf of pound cake up and give it to a new neighbor, someone you love or someone you've been thinking about!


Liv even got in on the Love Notes and gave a few plates away to some people that needed to know how BERRY much she loves them! :)


Other strawberry options could be:  Strawberry Sour Patch candies, this cute little Strawberry container, strawberry dish towels (you can never have enough towels!), or a cute strawberry sign.  Or any strawberry flavored drink, chocolate, candy or food item. Think chocolate covered strawberries, oh my word that would be amazing!!

Can't wait to share this Pound Cake Recipe!

Thought You Could Use Some Sunshine June Love Notes

I know I usually post the monthly Love Notes at the start of the month, I usually try to post them the first DAY of the month.  But this last month has been packed with lots of things, so it's coming to you at the END of the month! ha Better late than never right?


I think the everyone in the world could use some sunshine lately so these Love Notes are the perfect tag to pair with a small gift or treat for those you're thinking of!  


Anything yellow works so well with these tags!  Attach the tag to just one treat or bundle them up in a clear bag, or wrap a couple up in a cute yellow ribbon.  My favorite little bundle was the bag above, I love Milk Duds, Lindt Lindor chocolate and lemon candies!  


Butterscotch candies are so yummy and a small little bag is so easy to give and fun to receive!


You can't go wrong with Peanut M&M's and a Butterfinger Bar.


And if you're a sour lover Sour Patch Kids are also a great option.  I love that these $1 boxes are the perfect size and price!


We could all use a little bit more SONshine in our lives, when we focus on Christ our problems are easier to bear and we get a glimpse of the bigger picture.  Attach this tag to a picture of Christ for your ministering sisters or people in your ward or church that you've been thinking of.  


I even love the idea of a real or fake plant!  They need some sunshine too!


Or a little combo is so fun!  I printed this picture off on churchofjesuschrist.org then placed in a little standing Ikea Frame and wrapped some ribbons around the base.  I have been hooked on these frames for years!!

Love Notes February 2020

A little late but just in time for Valentine's Day!  Or any day for that matter.  The cute little pencil arrows are so fun for Valentines for your school kids, neighbor gifts, Ministering/Visiting Teaching gifts or any other cute little gift idea.






The great thing about these little heart arrows is you could use regular pencils our cute designed ones like THESE.  Then just use pink and red cardstock paper and cut cute little paper hearts to put on both ends.


Wouldn't these be cute left on the door step after you leave someone a 
heart attack on their front door?


I love that these sayings can be paired with so many different things.  Think stationary, pens, pencils, notepads, small pencil sharpener, et.  I even had a sweet friend use gel pens with this tag for her daughters valentines, SO cute and such a great idea!


Or raid your Target Dollar Spot or Dollar Tree and give them a full package.  
You always need pencils!


There are so many cute designs out there! Especially for Valentine's Day.  My cute mom will usually buy things and save them for lessons, gifts, etc. and then she always has something on hadn't when she needs it.  Keep that in mind the next time you're shopping!

June Love Notes

Summer is here and it's a busy, but perfect time to drop off something little to someone you have on your mind.  Whether it be your friend, family member, neighbor, ministering/visiting teacher or family, the list goes on and on.

These tags are perfect to remind that someone just how much they are worth to you.


These tags are cute and so unique.  There are a lot of "hidden gems" that you can pair this tag with.  Like these Shimmer Cadbury Mini Eggs.


I found cute gem dishes at the Target Dollar Spot.
Super cute for soap, jewelry, candy or any little trinkets!



My mom got the cutest gem/jewel easter eggs at Walmart a few years ago that worked so perfectly for this!  It's such a good reminder to pick up good deals and pieces when you see them!  Any kind of small container would be so fun with any candy like these jelly beans in jewel shades.


A cute and easy option would be these Ring Pop Gummy Gems or a single Ring Pop!


A treasure box, jewelry, or gem decor would be so cute!  There are so many options!
I love THIS gem baking mold that could be used for candy or chocolate.


I also LOVE these sugar gems!  How cute would they be on sugar cookies!?  Another great option would be plastic jewels for crafting.


I love that these two tags can be paired together.  


Or they could be used separately for the same gift ideas mentioned above!


I always think one little treat is a great idea so it's not overwhelming but it's still thoughtful!


As I always say you don't need a little gift or treat to pair with my printable tags it's just a fun idea if you'd like to pair something with it.

You can find the free printable for both of 
the 'You are a gem!' tags here--SMALL or LARGE FRAME!

May Flower Love Notes

April showers always tend to bring beautiful May flowers!  I wanted to capture that in the floral Love Notes of this month!  There are so many amazing flower/floral things you could give with a little Love Note/gift tag or just give that Love Note!  That's perfectly fine too.  If you love giving a little something as much as I do for ministering sisters, teacher gifts, kids/youth/adults in your church classes, etc. I've got loads of ideas for you.


Let’s start with this little Plant dreams, pull weeds and grow a happy life-tag. This tag can mean so many things. I got the little flower containers at Oriental Trading HERE. I found the pink watering can at the Target Dollar Spot similar online option HERE. The fake flowers I found at Dollar Tree, online option HERE.


I love the idea of giving something they can plant and grow themselves. Some seeds and a little planter/container can help them get started.


Next tag is a little reminder that sometimes life can be hard but it’s a reminder that we’re growing into something beautiful. Everyone has challenges and rough times, but they help us grow.


How cute are these little containers and watering cans, I found them at Hobby Lobby! So fun for gifts, party favors and even decorations.


Next tag is all about positive thinking and feeling! It’s a cute and clever way to tell people to look on the bright side.  Have you ever made cookie flowers?  They are super simple and totally adorable!  You will need:  skewer sticks, flower cookies, gumdrops, flower pot/vase, chocolate rocks.  Take your skewer stick and cut to the length you'd like your flower.  Put a gum drop, top down, on top and slide it down a little.  Place the flower cookie and then another gumdrop on top.  Super simple!  Put in a little vase or pot and fill with chocolate rocks for a cute and edible surprise!


This next tag is perfect for teachers, parents or anyone that have helped you GROW!


I love that any of these can be used with any of the above ideas.  Or a potted plant real or fake, or a bouquet of flowers would be so fun to receive!  I love to get fresh flowers for a pretty good deal at Trader Joe's!
