December Calendar Wallpaper

The first December Calendar Wallpaper is available -- early! I'll have several others available in the next week. In case you were wondering what my images sometimes start out like, you can see below that I had to do a lot of Photoshop repair work to the damage that bugs and general wear-and-tear caused on this plant!

Another Printable Thanksgiving Place Card Design

Autumn Day Wallpaper Created

I recently received an email from Kimberly Alcibiade offering up some of her photos for me to use as wallpapers, and after looking at her photos, I took her up on her offer!  Her photography is lovely, and I couldn't resist the one below for a fall wallpaper (as you can tell).  Thank you, Kimberly!

Printable Thanksgiving Cupcake or Dessert Toppers

Print out pilgrim-hat turkey cupcake or dessert toppers for your Thanksgiving celebration. After you've printed out the page of toppers, cut out each circle with scissors or a 2" circle punch (if you happen to have one of those -- I don't, I'm afraid). Then, tape the back of one circle to a popsicle stick or toothpick and insert into the top of a finished cupcake. (These are not meant for placing directly on cupcakes or desserts!)

For double-sided toppers, cut out 2 of the circles and glue them back-to-back around a popsicle stick or toothpick using non-toxic glue or glue stick. Allow to dry fully and then insert into the top of the cupcake or dessert.

Please Note: Be sure to remove the toppers before eating the cupcakes/desserts, and always supervise young children around toothpicks and popsicle sticks.

Printable Thanksgiving Place Cards

I've just created some printable Thanksgiving place cards (may create more if I have time). There are 3 different designs, and each PDF page has multiple place cards of the same design. Just cut out the place card, fold in half vertically, and write your (Thanksgiving guest's) name on the card.  (Kids enjoy these, too -- don't forget the kiddie table!)

Fact of the Day - The Flu

Studies have shown that flu viruses can survive on surfaces for 2 to 8 hours. Make sure to wash hands frequently, avoid touching your face, and clean surfaces like doorknobs or other objects that may have come into contact with the virus. Learn more about flu contamination and cleaning or more about the flu in general.
