Why not get them their own calling cards. That way when you are wrapping the presents you can just drop the little card in the bag or box.<br /><br />Here are a few designs for calling cards. If this is something you would like for your children email me at fosteringcreativity [at] gmail [dot] com. <br /><br />These are only samples, there are multiple possibilities for these calling cards. Email me and we will create something specific to your children!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipUNSiAqcAvbuT0JW0nCVH27_URWKEAHAG6KnnL84auSsUZIs18IlNHRwWgaMNJ5sSN6CsXVTIFrc4Pt06g0IsPaOZ4WUGh5d7hRJ2Xm28uPBvj7yIupR35mwfRFQRMeZCR8tMpo5-4xY/s1600-h/Butterfly+calling+card.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipUNSiAqcAvbuT0JW0nCVH27_URWKEAHAG6KnnL84auSsUZIs18IlNHRwWgaMNJ5sSN6CsXVTIFrc4Pt06g0IsPaOZ4WUGh5d7hRJ2Xm28uPBvj7yIupR35mwfRFQRMeZCR8tMpo5-4xY/s320/Butterfly+calling+card.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308749056458704930" border="0" /></a><br />Butterfly Calling Card<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzMxsbtBRUMwvXtY64yWDsvVKfR6sznxiyldRaCiv-q82iwNvPzFW9PQ9_AXOiepzcGc3LGdercT_Pnfe8oW38teN4DndAbYkPdGCTDsIbu5EVIEtyVBeXK6NPlk0aFwMeRvdzo_e55k/s1600-h/Ladybug+calling+card.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzMxsbtBRUMwvXtY64yWDsvVKfR6sznxiyldRaCiv-q82iwNvPzFW9PQ9_AXOiepzcGc3LGdercT_Pnfe8oW38teN4DndAbYkPdGCTDsIbu5EVIEtyVBeXK6NPlk0aFwMeRvdzo_e55k/s320/Ladybug+calling+card.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308749060570592338" border="0" /></a><br />Ladybug Calling Card<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EAx3QWgWxhPaZWDpBRHj1YFFtGiHknzxdc5dseA_Bu-fx5LstyzFgxGklZGVmWhUe7WijfBSQQCfa5Q5HAYaXNAVV81vvFcgJPIUHg0NbUCzfOxmAhs303eD78KBNmvA5sqMKfOw7iA/s1600-h/Button+calling+card.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EAx3QWgWxhPaZWDpBRHj1YFFtGiHknzxdc5dseA_Bu-fx5LstyzFgxGklZGVmWhUe7WijfBSQQCfa5Q5HAYaXNAVV81vvFcgJPIUHg0NbUCzfOxmAhs303eD78KBNmvA5sqMKfOw7iA/s320/Button+calling+card.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308749060878184882" border="0" /></a><br />Button Calling Card<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The papers and elements in these designs are from </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.pixelgypsydesigns.com/">Elise Hansen Designs</a><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></span><br /></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08238812787232727554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414743672270575538.post-16108625452249168862009-03-02T09:29:00.003-05:002009-03-02T09:54:00.134-05:00Eggs for Sale<div style="text-align: center;">Spring is just around the corner and with that comes Easter decorations as well as Spring Flowers!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />One easy way to decorate for Easter is to add a few eggs around your house!

This tree has a black and silver theme. There were just a few ornaments on the tree to keep a simple look. A few white lights and it coordinates with the decor in the sunroom.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqa8KqJjb2HFBAFBtQMKTfd5aaLrE0qqZdw786qtAoLq1gSl_nZTeJr4yJ3h_TBxCTFd4xfaU17L5MayiaNRX2Ci5D44BEsLgDf5e8rbXu2z8UzLS9BSw-RMEZ9lCL-Gpe_9PKkN_AE-Y/s1600-h/Sunroom+Table.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqa8KqJjb2HFBAFBtQMKTfd5aaLrE0qqZdw786qtAoLq1gSl_nZTeJr4yJ3h_TBxCTFd4xfaU17L5MayiaNRX2Ci5D44BEsLgDf5e8rbXu2z8UzLS9BSw-RMEZ9lCL-Gpe_9PKkN_AE-Y/s320/Sunroom+Table.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281887570679506754" border="0" /></a><br />The small table in the sunroom beside the mini tree.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYxMGqbE80B_uOHa8mfMieb2gAPgil30F_-x_De_M9wC6tRYB-BV0xR7FVeE-WX3sZwxfQdGiepzdKuaYO1FzYej9SBjrgc7-fpHECAdOKdFWHP0ZIhU19R7Tx6VfEaCpvFD0FgMI5AyU/s1600-h/Black+Ball.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYxMGqbE80B_uOHa8mfMieb2gAPgil30F_-x_De_M9wC6tRYB-BV0xR7FVeE-WX3sZwxfQdGiepzdKuaYO1FzYej9SBjrgc7-fpHECAdOKdFWHP0ZIhU19R7Tx6VfEaCpvFD0FgMI5AyU/s320/Black+Ball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281886161854778802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPU1IDOlRrKs4CbqEuERPe5B5OudEiGo7uYocEcA-SNSw26_UdYw5f3WrKv3v_ag6ZH9SX8w-mA-YF3eMU5AxmznnfNFoodJqTHX8WWZvG2U8de-geePSbVDAzXOzi9MVBiwFfQR07rDE/s1600-h/Sparkle+Ball.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPU1IDOlRrKs4CbqEuERPe5B5OudEiGo7uYocEcA-SNSw26_UdYw5f3WrKv3v_ag6ZH9SX8w-mA-YF3eMU5AxmznnfNFoodJqTHX8WWZvG2U8de-geePSbVDAzXOzi9MVBiwFfQR07rDE/s320/Sparkle+Ball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281886173096849106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlyVvK6Iv0k4Jgysj0nRToA0Q2cW9wYCPK_2ttNVJS7MyN47jLcW9y9cbP63rhnAa8-CyzRXWxVvhFSL-K1nxY2LxiMU7rYZFmgLpKdFS7znID2ufGtqVn4nsqCIkkEU7GO6fUfRFZes/s1600-h/Glass+with+snow+ball.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlyVvK6Iv0k4Jgysj0nRToA0Q2cW9wYCPK_2ttNVJS7MyN47jLcW9y9cbP63rhnAa8-CyzRXWxVvhFSL-K1nxY2LxiMU7rYZFmgLpKdFS7znID2ufGtqVn4nsqCIkkEU7GO6fUfRFZes/s320/Glass+with+snow+ball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281886169802989250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLeZTnVpPdw1u57vpZeJ_g2qIyayiwWq7eDbS3JuRkVQxVYCiMHBbmGuGoeZKFf_9I3bYGiUnPsEybiTebXET9BjLk8Op14BPpAQvWC32Ci6TQyQFsmMr4vgdUoSnJFle_GRUPs63mmI/s1600-h/Close+up+tree+top.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 166px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLeZTnVpPdw1u57vpZeJ_g2qIyayiwWq7eDbS3JuRkVQxVYCiMHBbmGuGoeZKFf_9I3bYGiUnPsEybiTebXET9BjLk8Op14BPpAQvWC32Ci6TQyQFsmMr4vgdUoSnJFle_GRUPs63mmI/s320/Close+up+tree+top.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281886177843011490" border="0" /></a><br />This is the tree we put our presents around so they will be out of the way and not in the middle of the walkway in the den.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAYfqHnwadwlvLw5VHkDcOm2bB7fBMTVEvyEq2QnmgzQlp12luNcNnJNnaZlQFIssz1XhwtmP6es4Gu78p3bkXXyY0fdX1p6lfM4pz26zGkODGEx5ie58gj4NiuUr868bCMW5h2Xn_kYE/s1600-h/Black+and+Silver+tree+at+night.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAYfqHnwadwlvLw5VHkDcOm2bB7fBMTVEvyEq2QnmgzQlp12luNcNnJNnaZlQFIssz1XhwtmP6es4Gu78p3bkXXyY0fdX1p6lfM4pz26zGkODGEx5ie58gj4NiuUr868bCMW5h2Xn_kYE/s320/Black+and+Silver+tree+at+night.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281887562848440338" border="0" /></a><br />The Black and Silver tree at night!<br /><br />The <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">first thing </span>to decorating my trees is to put on the lights. I think a lot of lights makes a tree beautiful and as you can see I only use white lights (with the exception of the Carolina/State tree that has Carolina Blue and State Red hues to the lights because of the plastic coverings). Once we have added the lights, <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">next </span>I like to put all like ornaments on the tree at the same time. This ensures that they become evenly disbursed throughout the tree. The <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">final </span>key thing to remember when decorating trees are odd numbers are your friend! I tend to not have an even number of anything on a tree, they just look better in odd numbers!<br /><br />I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas trees as much as I do!
