Upcycle last years Holiday Cards for Gift Tags!

Now that I am on a roll with the Santa Saks and Gift Saks...I have decided to Upcycle last years Holiday Cards into Gift Tags! Those cards you receive that don't have a family photo can be reused!!! The cards with the beautiful pictures of snowmen, santas, elves, tress, winter scenes, etc. can make great gift tags. All you need is a whole punch and some ribbon! Add a simple note and done. You don't have to spend a penny on gift tags! If you don't have Holiday cards, you can make your own from construction paper. It is easy and cheaper than than gift tags. If you run out of paper for gifts...use tissue paper with ribbon...next year you can buy "Santa Saks" and save time and a tree or two! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Good luck wrapping or "Saking" your gifts! Contact me about purchasing your "Santa Saks".

Reuseable Holiday "Santa Saks" or "Gift Saks"! Order for next year!

Wrapping paper is not eco-friendly and most of us are not good at making it look like it was wrapped at a department store. Gift bags are pretty, but how many times can you reuse one before it looks like you pulled it from the garbage??? The amount of trash accumulated during the holidays from boxes, paper, and Christmas decorations that end up in a landfill is quite sad. . The perfect solution is "Santa Saks" or "Gift Saks". I decided to make a few last Christmas and a few more this year. I would like to take credit for this idea but as I googled it...it is an Australian tradition. Great for those hard fit items, small trinkets, and everything you wish to give for Christmas or Hanukkah. Put a few items in one Sak and save time, money and help save the environment and thousands of trees! They are also great to have for kids birthdays, baby showers, and bridal showers too! . Contact me to special order your "Santa Saks" for next year or for your special event. Pricing varies upon fabric selected, size of sak, ribbon etc. from 5.99 and up. Be sure to be eco-friendly for next year!!!

Presents for your Pets!

Yes we have stockings for each of our dogs. Before we had children, they were our children. For those that have pets you know exactly what I am talking about. I found some great ideas for stocking stuffers for your beloved furry friends at the Only Natural Pet Store. They have the best selection of natural and organic products for your pets.

My favorite shampoo and conditioner for our dogs is the Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Shampoo. It works better on our dogs than the harmful flea and tick repellants. Last spring the dogs had NO TICKS!!! I was shocked at how well it worked. I have to warn you that after the first shampoo they smell a little like potpourri and cloves but it is a nice mellow scent that wears off quickly. The herbs must be what keeps the ticks and fleas away! They also have a large selection of holiday gifts for your dog or cat. From chew toys to treats you can fill your pets stocking with a nice non-toxic surprise! They even have eco-friendly hemp collars and leashes!!

There is a New "Honest" Diaper in our House!

It is hard to believe my newest addition is 4 months old already. This summer while I was preparing for her arrival, I looked at my diaper options to see if there was a better option than the Nature Babycare diapers I had been using for Brooke. We still love their training diapers which hold up extremely well as a nightime diaper for her!! After doing some research...The Honest Company is the best and safest option for our little Harley with no toxic ingredients. I ordered the newborn size and it is the best fit I have found for a newborn...no leaks!!!!! She is now in a size 1 going on 2 and we still love them! The color assortment that you choose from is great too. The biodegradable wipes are awesome as well. No toxic chemicals either. If you buy them in a bundle you get a great discount with cute designs and most important...they are safe for your baby! I am so impressed with this company and its effort to be GREEN. When I call and speak to someone on the phone who is clearly from the USA...they sound so cheerful and eager to help. How often does that happen in customer service??!!! The Honest Company also offers a line of cleaning and bath and body products I am eager to try. Check out their website and see their price compare chart and try them. You will love them for your baby!!! Your baby will love them when his or her bottom is diaper rash free and free of toxic ingredients!
