Day 7: I am Fortunate to Have You

I hope there are still people out there following me! We are half way done!!! Here is the gift idea and tags for tomorrow. I bought the Chinese take out food container from Michael's. I also saw them at Joann's last night on sale -- 50%off. But Michael's had a much larger selection. I made a few different tags! I am having fun trying new things with them! Enjoy!

I love the colors of these! I couldn't remember which colors I used when I made these tags so when I got to Michael's to buy the food container I went with pink! So that is why I chose to use the pink dot tag below. Even though I am loving the teal and red together!

I actually printed this one in a 3x5 index card size. Then I backed it with hot pink card stock.

For more free tags using this adorable idea go here. This is where I first saw the idea! The girls at eighteen 25 give you a full sheet of tags which is perfect to use for class gifts for your child. Also, Joann's had the mini Chinese take out containers on sale for $1.50. I think you get 10 in a pack... not sure exactly! You can also find them in the wedding section at Michael's.

Also, if you like to bake here is a recipe for homemade fortune cookies!

Happy Love Day #7!

Day 6: I Chew-se You!

Better late than never, right? Sorry! Fortune cookies are Monday and Hershey Kisses and maybe a pair of sandals or shoes to go with (if you want) are Tuesday! Sorry these pictures are horrible!!! I put it together really fast! Enjoy the tags! 5 different choices!!!!

Days 6, 7 and 8

Ok guys I have some posts coming your way.... I am sorry I didn't get it up earlier today. I have been cleaning out every closet in my house! We have way too much stuff... Uh! Ok I am going to tell you what you need for tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. Hershey kisses, fortune cookies, and gum. So go to the store and get these things and then come back later today for tags! So sorry again!

Day 5: Mint to be!

Day 5/Saturday:
How cute is this!!! I love the little phrase "we're mint to be"! I know I saw it somewhere on someone's blog but I can't find it anywhere. I usually bookmark these ideas but I guess I missed this one! And I am sure you have seen something like this at a wedding or two! The point is I didn't come up with it on my own! I live to give credit where credit is due! Anyways... Ok... I hope you enjoy these tags!!!! And I hope you are having fun doing this with me!

This isn't my favorite of the two, but I thought I would share it with you anyways...

All I did was cut out the label, back it with heart paper, add a couple of ribbons, and stick it on the pack of tic tacs. Well then I decided I could do something cuter (?) so I made a new one!

Here is the second version. And right now I am loving these ones a lot more! The tags are all the same. Sorry. For this tag I opened up the package of tic tacs. Covered each container in white paper. Then I put this tag on only 1 of them. The rest just got a piece of tulle tied around them.

Day 4: i am NUTS about you!

Here is the gift idea and tag for day 4. I got my can of mixed nuts from Target. Obviously you can find them at any store. I covered the can in the red polka dot paper. I put the tag in two different spots for two different ideas (see pictures below). And remember, the tags must be printed in a 4x6 size. Enjoy!

First set of tags:

I love the tag on top of this second set but it doesn't print well! So sorry! The bottom prints great though!

A Few Random Thoughts...

First, I just went to the dollar store off of Euclid and Riverside-- you know the brand new one over by my parent's house. This is my second trip and I loved it more this time than the first! It is so clean and quiet! I bought 7 pairs of Valentine's socks. A little much I know. But they were so cute! And I also picked up some gum... if you are following me in the 14 gifts thingy you will need some too. I also got a calculator there. You MIGHT need one too. I can't decide if I am going to include this one or not, but it was only a buck so hey I thought better get it now and not have to worry about coming back!!! Ok if you live in the area you must visit this dollar tree!

Second thought, I am so darn excited about these gifts and that I have learned how to make tags thanks to Emily from Saltwater Kids!!! It seriously has changed my life. And I have been struggling through some things right now and boy have they brought me happiness. Sounds crazy I know but I have been wanting to make tags forever! I really can't explain how happy I am! Pathetic? I think not!

Third, I am thinking about making a St. Patrick's day block set. Stay tuned for that!

Fourth, I was at Forever 21/Heaven today (the Chino Hills one) and I was looking through the jewelry. I love jewelry. I love the idea of buying it but then I never wear it. So I bought adorable feather earings for my younger sister. She can pull them off, but not me! Anywho, if you are still reading this you might get excited right now... You know the whole perfect pair sock idea... what about a pair of earrings for a friend????????? I love the idea! And Forever 21 had heart earrings for 1.50!!!!! They were A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!

Ok these are all of my thoughts for now!!!

Day 3: I Have a Crush on You!

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday. Sam has mid terms and was on the computer all night! So instead I watched The Lost Valentine alone on the couch! I loved it. I hope you caught it too! Sam's aunt's Bishop actually wrote the story!!! Who knew? Anyways, on the the good stuff...

Ok I just bought a whole case of Crush soda because it was on sale for 2.50 at target. I wanted to get the glass bottles of it but Target didn't have them and honestly I did not want to go to another store!!! Ok this is pretty "easy peasy lemon squeezy"! Once again print the tags in a 4x6 size from your local photo store or from home. If you are having a hard time with the tags coming our blurry make sure you click on the picture so it opens larger in a new window and then save it from there. And also they will be blurry if you do not print them in a 4x6 size. If you do not know how to change your printer settings go to file and hit print. In the print menu click on change paper size. Then in the drop down menu find 4x6. Or make it easy on you (kinda) and print them at your local Target or Wallgreens. Did I tell you that Costco made them kinda blurry? I don't know what was up with that! Once printed and cut out, I punched two holes on the top of the tag. I wrapped the ribbon around the can and stuck the two ends through the tag and then tied with a double knot. I actually put tape on the back of the tag to help it stay in place better! Enjoy! I have feeling a little lonely so leave me a comment!!! There are two sets of tags. The ones with 2 on a page are a little larger which are great for cans. The ones with 3 on a page would be good for the glass bottles if you find them. OK enjoy!
