Family is Gone but Tags Are Here

This weekend has been crazy and fantastic and exhausting all at the same time. I really wish my family could stay for like a month but I know, I know - everyone has to go home eventually. I'll be traveling to Africa with Four Corners Ministries in four days so there are lots of things to be done. Along with all the fun my dear friend Kayla is coming over to spend the week while her husband is out. I love family and friends. I would have people over at my house all the time if sweet Mr. Phillips would let me. He needs man cave time though.

I found a really cute gift tag tutorial that is SUPER easy to do. It even uses a program most of us already have. Thanks to Life in Grace blog. I can only try to describe the feeling when I find a easy, creative way to say 'you're the best' or 'I love you' or "Happy Anything." They're so cute.


So here it is:


The following is a pic-tutorial of how to create your own labels in Microsoft Word.
A few words to the wise:
1. Print on plain paper first
2. Use solid sheets of “label paper” {so they will be stickers--that you can cut out in your desired shape}. Be sure you get ink jet paper for an ink jet printer or laser paper for a laser printer.
3. Make your margins smaller so you can squeeze more on a page


**(Tutorial says to do the above but I like using the avery labels that are 2'' to make it quicker and easier. These are just my quick steps) 

Start by inserting a shape/object onto your document and then size it according to your preference.

  Other ideas for this fun little sticker. I'm making some pronto!












I like the tags too. If you have any other ideas to use them for feel free to comment.

Sorry Friends but I Made Up For It!

I have been a bit busy this week with Secret Church coming up tomorrow. So, I thought I would do a quick post to make all the friends happy. I have a whole SHLEW (I think that's a word) of free printable tags. They are so stinkin cute and all you need do is print. Yay!!! Can't you feel how much I love you that I would send you free things. Smile. Enjoy and feel free to share.

This time I will just focus on Christamas tags as that fantastic holiday is coming up soon but I'll be sure to add more as I find them. These are from my sweet Skip To My Lou. She's amazing!

Better Late Than....Umm......Never!

For the past few weeks I have been working from a fantastic holiday planning checklist. I really like it. Here it is. I wanted to share it with YOU.

Beautiful right. Love the colors and the font choice and the simplicity. Don't we all need more of that? While I have talored it to fit our family I really like the idea of having a stress free holiday and getting things done early. We will be going to Africa for 2 weeks in November. Soooooo, I really have to get on the ball with all these things that need to be done. I have started but need to catch up a little.

Best part of the whole opperation is......(drumroll please)..... IT'S FREE. You can download a pre-filled in checklist or a blank one.

Blank Holiday Checklist
Pre-Made Holiday Checklist

The checklist starts back in Spetember but no worries if you are a little behind. You can make up for the time with little to no problem. I just wanted to share so friends would be able to get what they needed and actually ENJOY the birth of our Lord. This is one of my favorite times of the year so in regular Phillips fashion I must go completely overboard. Just as a side note I think I will make a little b-day cake for Jesus for my four-year-old neice. Do you do that?

The little checklist treasure is from Giver's Log (a pretty sweet blog) if you want to run over and see the whole post she did on it. Here's a Merry Christmas to you, friends.
