DIY Note Cards

   For those on your list year that you just don't know what to get this might be something that would make a perfect gift.  Stationary is a great way to give something that's personalized.  You can buy blank cards with envelopes at Michaels.  Get a stamp that reminds you of them and stamp the image on the card.  This is the set I made.

  You can get a stamp with the person's initial, their favorite animal or just something that represents their personality.  Use different colors of note cards to make them more unique.  I know that I love stationary and it's a great way to keep in touch with those far away.

I Heart Drugstore Makeup

   Yes, this is another "tag" but it's fun.  I hope you like it.
 
1.  Favorite Drug store makeup brand?
   Maybelline.  Everything I have tried I haven't hated.  Very comparable products to high end like MAC and amazing lasting quality.  Sometimes you will buy something and it is great for the first few uses then it craps out.  That hasn't happened to me with Maybelline.


2.  Favorite face, cheek and lip products?
  Face-Maybelline Dream Matte Powder.  This is a finishing powder that keeps my foundation in place.

  Cheek- elf blushes
  Lip- Revlon's Lip Butters.  These things are awesome.  Great color and very moisturizing.

3.  Least favorite product?
  Cover Girl eyeliner.  It always smudges and rubs off really fast on me.

4.  What is the best makeup bargain?
  I am going to have to say Maybelline's Eye Tattoo.  You can use it alone and it won't crease.  Use it as a base and it will enhance the color of your eyeshadow.

5. Favorite underdog product?
  elf  Their blushes are amazing as well as their eyeshadow.  For the price you can't beat it.

6.  A drugstore product that is overpriced?
  I hate to say it but Neutrogena.  With everything that is out there in the drugstores I think $14.99 (on the "cheap") is expensive for liquid foundation.  Just saying.

Christmas Cheer Questionaire

   I thought it would be fun to answer some questions that are going around the You Tube community.  They are called tags on You Tube.  So here we go.

1.  Favorite Winter nail polish?
   
   Revlon Color Stay in Rain Forest and Revlon Red

2.  Favorite Winter lip products?

   Revlon's Lip Butter in Cherry Tart and L'oreal Colour Riche in Raisin Rapture

3.  Most worn Winter clothing piece?

   Probably my Candies Riding boots in Tan

4.  Most worn Winter accessory?

  My argyle socks!  They are perfect when I wear boots and they keep me so warm.

5.  Favorite Winter scent or candle?

   Anything that smells like I have been baking all day.  That's usually all year round.

6.  Favorite Winter beverage?

   I don't have one specific.  I love anything sweet and warm.

7.  All time favorite Christmas movie?

   If anyone knows me knows that my favorite is Christmas Vacation.  Elf is a close second.

8.  Favorite Christmas song?

  Really any song but the old classic version.  Anything sung by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis is really the best versions to me.

9.  Favorite Christmas treat?

   Well that is a little hard but I would have to say getting a cookie tray is the best.  Any kind of cookies or peanut butter balls or no bake cookies.

10.  What is your favorite Christmas decoration this year?

  Our REAL Christmas tree.

11.  What's at the top of my Christmas list?

  To be perfectly honest, to be able to give more this year than last.

  
  There we have it!  Please comment below or if you have a blog I "tag" you to do the same thing.

DIY Gift Tags

   Every year I say to myself, "I could make these" when I get gift tags.  Not this year though.  I used my cookie cutters as a template and t-shirt Scribbles paint to decorate them.  Here they are:

   All of them were super easy and what's nice is that I can "custom" make them to the person or the wrapping.  I write the To and From on the back.

A Great Photography Oops!

   When my husband and I were walking through our city's decorated downtown I accidentally snapped the camera when I was going to put it away for a moment.  I pulled up the pictures a little later as we were walking around and came across this photo

   It almost makes me dizzy!  Despite the vertigo I love it.  You can see how colorful all the lights were.
