(Then when we set the place cards out it was almost certain someone would come along and switch where they were sitting.) My mom always did a really good job at keeping it different each year. So to pass along the tradition of place cards here are a few ideas I drummed up from web surfing.<br />I love the Fabric leaves above a nice simple but beautiful touch.<br /><a href="http://fun.familyeducation.com/images/PilgrimHat_H.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 365px; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://fun.familyeducation.com/images/PilgrimHat_H.jpg" /></a><br />Great little Pilgrims hat that you can fill with anything. Popcorn, M&M, Nuts, Cranberries or my mom's nut mix she always used and is a big hit in our family- Honey roasted peanuts, Small butter mints, and Candied corn.<br /><div><a href="http://www.alphamom.com/holiday/turkey-card.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 375px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.alphamom.com/holiday/turkey-card.jpg" /></a><br />This place card was made out of recycled paper. I love the design and the feathers and the kiddos can help with it!<br /><div><a href="http://grandmaideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/oreoturkey.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 495px; HEIGHT: 371px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://grandmaideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/oreoturkey.jpg" /></a><br />These look scrumptious and serve at an appetizer too. What a fun little turkey to have on the table. Made out of 2 oreos, a mini reese peanut butter cup, a whopper for the head, candied corn for the feathers and nose, and don't forget the decorators frosting for the eyes and legs. 80)<br /><div><a href="http://www.holiday-crafts-and-creations.com/images/Thanksgiving_crafts_to_make.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 509px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.holiday-crafts-and-creations.com/images/Thanksgiving_crafts_to_make.jpg" /></a><br />For the sophisticated table a small vase of Reese's pieces topped of with a bundle of raffia to look like Indian corn too cute.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://familyfun.go.com/assets/cms/crafts/turkey-place-markers-thanksgiving-craft-photo-420-FF1104CRAFTA05.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 420px; HEIGHT: 420px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://familyfun.go.com/assets/cms/crafts/turkey-place-markers-thanksgiving-craft-photo-420-FF1104CRAFTA05.jpg" /></a><br />Last but not least why not tie it into your meal with this fun little turkey head on a skewer poked into a roll that looks like turkey feet. Very fun.</div><div>Hope everyone has a very "FULL"FILLING Thanksgiving. 80)<br />Truly, Mrs. Gifted 80)</div></div></div></div>Mrs.Giftedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854554520381477775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600158373616976499.post-68431132605990121822009-10-26T17:13:00.000-07:002009-10-26T17:26:02.819-07:00Truly Gifted Hoilday 2009 cards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeZB7vmpNWAZhJ-1YGy_l07Rkw8NuViJeb2SwkVytnih9uWk2-X_Hu-ZwH6VQtQsiGRJscHT2ZQDNptf4wxgq16tXn0v1uAPIW01Xz3BNvgjAeOXbkgxF9zd2Pi6NwFD5Xhz0T2qVccHd/s1600-h/Peacejoylove.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 205px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397069176495766770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeZB7vmpNWAZhJ-1YGy_l07Rkw8NuViJeb2SwkVytnih9uWk2-X_Hu-ZwH6VQtQsiGRJscHT2ZQDNptf4wxgq16tXn0v1uAPIW01Xz3BNvgjAeOXbkgxF9zd2Pi6NwFD5Xhz0T2qVccHd/s400/Peacejoylove.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Yep....It's true I'm finally unveiling most of my cards for my new Holiday 2009 Collection.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;">Check em' out at</span><a href="http://trulygifteddesign.blogspot.com/2009/10/holidays-card-2009-design.html"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"> Truly Gifted Design</span></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Why pay $10-15 dollars for a box of 12 cards that you have to sign (which I'm sorry to say may induce hand cramping.)

(to check out what we came up with, go to my photogblog <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.trulygifteddesign.blogspot.com">Truly Gifted Design and Photography </a>and <a href="http://mycrappyphotography.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-vegas-photo-adventure-spell-check.html">Mr.A's The Wanna Be Photographer </a>as well)<br /><br />I've seen these sweet sylish strap covers on several craft site and Itsy stores. They looked comfy and would give me the little extra padding I need so I got to work. The strap covers on some websites can go for $$$25-60.00 smackaroos (gasp-but appreciate that most were hand made with love but with a little spare fabric straps I made these for $0!!! 80) You know I love a great deal and even better free. If you would like to make one you can find a great tutorial here on <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2009/01/camera-strap-cover-tutorial.html">Cluck Cluck Sew</a>.

These are fun interchangeable bags that are great as a gift and to put a gift in. (two bags in one, now that's what I call a win win). They are very cute and fairly inexpensive to make. I made one but am still fine tuning it. I will be honest though, you must make everything to the T and all the holes for the binding must match up...or sadly this gift isn't so fun to make. But take the chance... I found my Vinyl at walmart for a great price FYI. And what's so great is you can switch out the paper in the bag to fit your mood and style. Here is a full list of instructions.<br /><div>Have Fun... Truly, Mrs.Gifted</div><div>P.S. I was featured again on TipJunkie.com for my Table Trays...Yea!!! 80) Thanks for all of those who read and remember to follow 80)</div><div>Interchangeable Vinyl Bags by Heartland Paper<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Supplies you will need:<br />*Zutter Bind-It-All Machine By Heartland paper (I used a cropadile but heed my advice about the holes needing to match.<br />*Clear Vinyl (available at fabric stores on the roll)-You will want a good thick vinyl that will<br />hold up to weight.<br />*Rotary cutter for cutting vinyl to size.<br />*2 feet of refrigerator tubing for handles<br />*10 yards of clear boondoggle<br />*Patterned Paper and decorations to put in bag<br />*Chipboard to give more support to bag<br />*4 yards coordinating ribbon for handles<br />*Scissors<br />*Cropadile or other strong hole punch.<br />Instructions:<br />The great thing about this bag is it is interchangeable! You can swap out your paper and ribbons at any time to give you an entirely new bag. The bag can also be made in any size and dimension that you desire (we recommend not going larger than 12X12). To make a bag in different dimensions than the ones shown, simply adjust the measurements as desired.<br />Dimensions given are for the large bag shown here. Keep in mind that all vinyl will be doubled so you can slip paper in between layers.<br />1. Cut vinyl using mat and rotary cutter , cut vinyl in the following pieces:<br />A. Front and Back– Cut 4 pieces to 8X10<br />B. Sides– Cut 4 pieces to 4X10<br />C. Bottom– Cut 2 pieces to 4X8<br />2. Match up 2 of each piece together so that they will form a pocket for the patterned paper. You should have the following pieces (each piece will have two layers of vinyl):<br />3. Punch your sewing holes along the edges of the vinyl using the Bind-It-All Machine. Make sure that your holes match up by placing matching edges in the machine at the same time. For example, match up the Front to Side A and place them both in the machine together, that way, when you sew them up, the holes will match perfectly. Be careful not to punch holes through the edge of the vinyl. If you can’t fit one last hole, leave a gap.<br />Front Back<br />Side A<br />Side B<br />Bottom<br />4. You will want to punch holes in the following combinations:<br />A. Front to Side A and Side B and long side of Bottom.<br />B. Back to Side A and Side B and long side of Bottom.<br />C. Side A to Short Side of Bottom<br />D. Side B to Short Side of Bottom<br />5. When you have all of your holes punched, you are ready to begin sewing.<br />To sew, cut a 1 yard length of boondoggle and begin at one corner.<br />Thread the boondoggle half way through the first holes (you will thread<br />the entire length of the boondoggle and then go back and thread the<br />other way with the second half of your strand. Loop the boondoggle<br />through the matching holes down the entire length of the piece. Return<br />to the top of the piece and take the other half of the strand and loop it<br />the opposite direction through each hole. Tie off the two ends at the<br />bottom of each piece. Before you sew on the last side of the bottom<br />piece, you will want to slip a piece of chipboard in to give added support.<br />You may also slip in patterned paper, but keep in mind that you will not be able to change out<br />whatever you put inside because it will be sew shut. Bottom chipboard should be cut to 3.25X7.25<br />6. Cut Patterned Paper and Chipboard in the following dimensions. You can also add any additional embellishments to the paper at this time.<br />A. Front and Back– Cut 2 Chipboards and 2 Patterned Papers to 7.25x9.5<br />B. Sides (patterned paper only)- Cut 2 to 3.25X9.5<br />7. Open up pocket formed by double sheets of vinyl and slip in patterned paper and chipboard. If you would like the inside of your bag to be patterned also, you can cut additional pieces and slip them in facing the inside of the bag.<br />8. Cut refrigerator tubing to the desired length for handles. Using a dowl or metal wire, thread two pieces of coordinating ribbon (cut to 1 yard each) through the center of the tubing, leaving two lengths of ribbon out each end.<br />9. Using a cropadile or other hole punch, punch 2 holes through vinyl, chipboard, patterned paper where you would like the handles to connect.<br />10. Using the ribbon that is hanging outside the tubing, thread one end through the hole and tie a double knot to secure the handle in place.<br />Then complete the look with a bow. Trim off excess ribbon. To change out the paper and ribbon, simply untie or cut off the ribbon for the handles and slip in new supplies.<br />*Bags are great for swimming, scripture totes, girl’s camp, school lunches, purses, gift bags and much more!</span></div>You can also purchase the bags as pre-made kits from Heartland Paper 80) f.y.i<br /><br /><div></div>Mrs.Giftedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854554520381477775noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600158373616976499.post-77710756023966917002009-07-26T21:26:00.000-07:002009-07-26T21:56:25.333-07:00What a SWEET Idea...<a href="http://www.utahbrideandgroom.com/Utah-Bride-and-Groom-Magazine/Bridal-Buzz/February-2009/The-Sweet-Tooth-Fairy-Has-Arrived/The-Sweet-Tooth-Fairy2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 336px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 373px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.utahbrideandgroom.com/Utah-Bride-and-Groom-Magazine/Bridal-Buzz/February-2009/The-Sweet-Tooth-Fairy-Has-Arrived/The-Sweet-Tooth-Fairy2.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;">Here are some of my favorite sweets inspired gifts I've found online.

Just goes to show those little touches really do make a big difference.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghlNL66WpyWoUaRzxdmSK_oDs2Al1j7kAEFDhgM9r4zv-Mb5v-34M1NGZX7ALvQMYYnkP0iKq_SnXGkHFdt91NWWkQE_tWP1-iV4jw3WuEHwah0hBvXjzxktmqYbaqkFku6dsfLKURGQ99/s1600-h/Space+Design.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360281564454366226" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghlNL66WpyWoUaRzxdmSK_oDs2Al1j7kAEFDhgM9r4zv-Mb5v-34M1NGZX7ALvQMYYnkP0iKq_SnXGkHFdt91NWWkQE_tWP1-iV4jw3WuEHwah0hBvXjzxktmqYbaqkFku6dsfLKURGQ99/s320/Space+Design.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This was the table set up.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-VvVO0Wtl4YI_NuzOrR_Qtm-42ze0I-Vhk-_LRw1ch2V1XIlMchhYaXXbvk-QqJUzEBD05ae0LqlFgkd0lKk4wpHr1Unc3rUActieFA_EsiiYizeCb5vXLe413efzEB8Bpu_-ZeWOAXY/s1600-h/CenterPeice.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360281081604744130" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-VvVO0Wtl4YI_NuzOrR_Qtm-42ze0I-Vhk-_LRw1ch2V1XIlMchhYaXXbvk-QqJUzEBD05ae0LqlFgkd0lKk4wpHr1Unc3rUActieFA_EsiiYizeCb5vXLe413efzEB8Bpu_-ZeWOAXY/s320/CenterPeice.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju8EMKi35uX3gQN1ms6idxznBh6rj7LnoaAbQS_OHg1cKqgbUXtq9dD2YIQ79RmbgkLDGa9CYUlZ-GqHBWyqKVie3vbh1CMXwe36GkYoEkW382I3p9jxtavZ8LBCD9keXyh7ksZQAcJVRE/s1600-h/Center+Peice.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360281572677829346" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju8EMKi35uX3gQN1ms6idxznBh6rj7LnoaAbQS_OHg1cKqgbUXtq9dD2YIQ79RmbgkLDGa9CYUlZ-GqHBWyqKVie3vbh1CMXwe36GkYoEkW382I3p9jxtavZ8LBCD9keXyh7ksZQAcJVRE/s320/Center+Peice.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The center pieces are scrapbook paper stapled in a cylinder with rolled up diapers in the middle for mommy to take home and also to hold it down.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29OhsDjLxAxETblh6Ks8sKUqUy-LMW4WszVFEyPw5Y9FAsQQ241w38uukt6w7Q7SLcfjZQhwSinLq7MCTic-HoM8yYBYcygKAST4bgD4CE_0bg9LvwXuDFsRp6xwcXJEOc4cIVJAJqIGG/s1600-h/Favor.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360281089263751410" style="WIDTH: 149px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29OhsDjLxAxETblh6Ks8sKUqUy-LMW4WszVFEyPw5Y9FAsQQ241w38uukt6w7Q7SLcfjZQhwSinLq7MCTic-HoM8yYBYcygKAST4bgD4CE_0bg9LvwXuDFsRp6xwcXJEOc4cIVJAJqIGG/s320/Favor.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div>These are the favors we did that went into the centerpieces with the little wooden animal on a stick.
