happy holidays!

Trashy magazines, cookie eating, long baths, and hopefully some dish TV at Grammie's are on the agenda for the next 2 weeks. I'm gonna lay low and relax, and try to not add anything to the list. (Edit—I am making bloomers for Sadie today, however. How can I deny that request? Be still my beating heart. Bloomers?!)

Here's a little printable gift. It's crazy gift tags saying all those things that probably should be left as an inner monologue. Now you don't have to yell embarrassing comments across the room like I do—the tag will say it for you. Enjoy!

The PDF is here. Print on white cardstock, (if printing B/W try colored cardstock) cut out, punch a hole, and tie on a gift.

See you all in 2008 and I hope your holiday season is off the chain! (I am getting a head start on my using new slang New Year's resolution.)

Merry Christmas. I'm dreaming of a couple of days of relaxing. You enjoy! Thanks for the gift tags, they made me chuckle.

[Giabella Designs]

Those gift tags are awesome! You should send those to a company that makes x-mas tags! I would buy those in a heartbeat!
How do you fit it all in? Baking, crafting, sewing, blogging........I am tired just reading this!!

Amy-
This is why I love you. Not in a stalkerish kind of way but in a totally crafty, you stuff is major kind of way! :) These would so cute for all year around use without the snowflakes.

[Lynn Anne]

rofl! LOVE IT! Will be sharing with my friends for sure :)

And re: yesterday's post, DANG I wish I were on your send-to list for the holidays. MMMM to everything!

[Amy]

You're awesome! (Yeah, my slang is stuck in the eighties... I don't think it's going to get much more modern.)

Thanks.

[Leah]

Thanks for these. They are perfect! I know a few of them will be used for sure around here. I too, am in awe of your productivity, especially with 3 little ones. I only have one and don't get even half that much done. Hmmm, maybe less time reading blogs might help...:o) Seriously, thanks for the inspiration, recipes, tutorials, and printables. Have a great holiday!

[blair]

These are really too good, I have to use them. Now I won't have to make these comment on the 'down low' either (that's all I got for slang, although there's something about a grill I should ask Peter about, could be useful.) xo

[Sarah Jackson]

So cute! Thanks very much. You summed up my Christmas sentiments in the most perfect way.

[martha]

i love the gift tags. those are exactly the things my family says to each other! thanks for the perfect silliness.

[Kristin]

I absolutely love the gift tags. They are so appropriate for my family.

[Emily/ Five Flowers]

You rock. Love the pdf- thanks! You have had so many ideas this week i cant stand it. hope your holiday is off the hook (old slang- i'm so out of touch i dont know anything new!).
cheers!

[mj]

I can totally relate! I hate the feeling of going to bed on Christmas eve after we've opened our gifts and thinking about the really stupid and ungrateful things I've said. Or the things I blurted out to other people about what I got them and why. Ugh.

[Lil' d]

Enjoy your relaxation - I'm not there yet, but I finally bought your book yesterday and now I know what I'm going to make for my son's preschool teacher, so thank you: you've made my list a little shorter.

[Michelle]

Oh, so great! These are hysterical, but oh, so true.

[Tanya Whelan]

Those are so freakin good!! Every one of them made me laugh, plus they're really perrty. Thanks for the pdf.

[Jenna]

I love um. Thanks! I printed them out right away. Any new ideas for slang would be totally awesome. I have no idea what "off the chain" means, but I like it.

[strikkelise]

[Marcelle]

[ellen]

I usually don't like to wrap the gifts but these tags make it so much fun....do you know my family personally?...they are perfect! Thanks! Have a great holiday.

[Siri]

This, in itself, would be an awesome gift, printed out and included with other gifts for others to pack away and use next year.
There will be many, many, many more chuckles ringing out around the world this Christmas, thanks to you.

[Squirrel Momma]

I nearly fell off my chair laughing--now we won't have to actually SAY those things out loud!
Thank you so much for a wonderful year of blogging!

[Kim]

these are THE. CUTE. EST.

you are the kindest person i 'know'.

[White Feather]

I am in awe of what you get done! I had 3 little kids once and I tried hard, but didn't have your energy levels. I love all your ideas for home baked and hand crafted gifts. Wish I was a personal friend of yours! Best holiday wishes to you and your family. Blessed Solstice.

[Toni]

These tags are genius! Oh my, I love them soooo much, hilarious!
THANK YOU!!!

BTW, when my girl was little (she's 13 now) she wore bloomers all the time under her dresses. I loved it because she could tumble and climb without flashing her undies at the park, etc... kind of a good thing in this day and age, ya know?

[Wendy]

Those are fantastic. I am totally going to use them, especially the "I made this" one.

Brilliant, and thanks so much!

[Stacia]

Brilliant. I just read these out loud to my husband and he wants to print them asap!

[Melissa H]

These are fantastic. Thanks!

[Julie]

Great ideas all around: love the tags and love love love the idea of laying low.

Happy holidays!

[Nell]

I love these. They are so perfect for my family it's like you were reading my mind! Thank you!

[Eden]

I printed a bunch of these. They're all either applicable to me or my husband. Thanks for making these (loving the colors).

[liz]

these are hilarious! thank you!

enjoy your two weeks - sounds wonderful!

[breezily]

I love the tags, thank you!

[Jing-Jing]

My kind of humor and frankly sums up how I feel about Christmas gift giving, can we just abolish this tradition for adults 22 years and older? Thanks for the tags!

[Susan]

And may your Christmas be off the chizang, fashizzle!

[Jennifer]

Merry Christmas to you, too! I was hoping to see a tag to one of your paper cutting recipients that read, "You are so full of scherenschnitte!"

[Diane]

Amy, they're delightful!
I was only just thinking today of using different kind of tags this year instead of store bought. You read my mind.
A big thank you from me!

[inga]

I've been resding your blog for a couple of days now, so cool, so inspirational, now i'm starting to feel like my "stay at home with a baby" mom's life is not that monotonous. Thanks a bunch! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[S]

Thank you for the darling gift tags! Happy Holidays!

[Veronica Richmond]

I think you've inspired me to make aprons! My mother in law asked me to get something for myself for Christmas - it's going to have to be your book.
I plan to add a link to your blog on mine.
Thanks for the tags - they're terrific!

[Martha]

Thanks for the gift tags. They are totally cool.

[Amber]

These are Hilarious!! I love the one about how I made this so don't say anything mean!
