Heart-shaped Cash Gift Idea

Using instructions that I found online I turned paper bills into cute, little, heart-shaped cash gifts to be given as Christmas gifts.



I used ten dollar bills, but any denomination of paper currency can be used. Just fold each according to instructions.



After I completed each bill I wrapped it with a section of half-inch, wire-edged ribbon to give it a festive look.



I placed each ribbon-wrapped heart, along with a miniture candy cane and other candies, to a box of it own, wrapped and tagged.

Until next time...

Celebrating the 'Reason for the Season' - Advent Scripture Chain

I found this terrific free printable for an 'Advent Scripture Chain' over at the Flanders Family Home Life blog.



I printed off several sets to give away and, of course, one for myself. I thought you might enjoy printing one off, too! 



There are two printing choices to choose from...to print on one- or two-colors of paper or to print on three-colors. I chose to print on three colors...red, yellow, and green. I think blue and white would be pretty, too!



After printing, I pinned the cover sheet to the curtains next to the Christmas tree in the kitchen. That way it is handy, but up high enough that little hands can't reach the paper strips.



I coiled the end of the chain up on top of and around the top two levels of my three-tiered tea tray where I display my vintage cookie cutters. They won't be concealed for long, as the Christmas season will pass all too quickly. 



I hope you enjoy this pretty printable that helps us to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus!

Until next time...
