Sweet Valentine's Day Printable

I have decided to really tone down my decorating in 2014.  We have had a rough run for a few months- including me having a hernia surgery a couple of weeks before Christmas.  That experience helped me realize that my family does not really care if the house is decorated- they only care about the decorations that have become a tradition.  For us that is a Christmas Tree and lights in the windows for the whole holiday season.  So. . . despite the fact that I have a whole tub of valentine decorations in the garage, I'm sticking to one printable that I can slide into my chalkboard display stand.  The best part?  I can change it out easily for each holiday so that I don't feel like a total Scrooge!

This printable is sized for a normal piece of paper 8.5" x 11".

Late Summer Printable

I am ready to re-decorate, but since there's no holiday looming (I mean. . . how would one decorate for Labor Day?) I wasn't sure how to decorate.  I decided to go with a sunflowers look and I needed some subway art that reflected out lives right now.  If you enjoy the same aspects of late summer, please feel free to print and frame this subway art.  In a few days I will post a photo of my mantle.

St. Patrick's Day Printable

Sorry about the crappy photo, but I wanted to get the post up!

Here's a simple printable for your St. Patrick's Day decor.  It's a takeoff on the LOVE sculpture by Robert Indiana.  It prints out 8.5" x 11", but is formatted to fit in an 8"x10" frame, so just trim it!

Visiting Teaching Printable- February 2012

I will be the first to admit that I'm not the best visiting teacher, but I do better at making appointments if I have a little something to share.  Here's a quick gift that you can print on your home computer printer on cardstock or photo paper, pop into a dollar store 5x7 frame, and share with your sisters.  It coordinates with the "Guardians of the Hearth" lesson.

Wash Your Hands Printable

I think I am turning into a germophobe!  Every couple of years I get a sinus infection that lasts for months.  The best way to beat this disease is to not get sick in the first place.  I also have a son who needs to avoid antibiotics, so I am pretty careful about making sure that switchplates and doorknobs are wiped down.  All fall I have been putting signs on our doors and on the kitchen counter reminding us to wash our hands. 

I bought this chalkboard at a great little store called RodWorks.  The best part about it is that not only can I use it as a chalkboard, but I can slide 8.5 x 11.5 sheets of paper down into it! This is a wonderful little device that I have enjoyed.

I use Chalk Markers on my board.  They write beautifully and wash off easily with a rag and some water.  I had no luck finding them in any retail stores, so I bought my set from Amazon.

Anyway, we all know that once we get used to seeing something, we ignore it.  Consequently, I have made new signs every couple of weeks.  I wanted something bright and colorful for the beginning of 2012, so I made this Subway Art Printable that reminds us to wash our hands.

And here's a reminder to you:
