Well I think its appropriate to say Happy Holidays!
I am really feeling the holiday spirit this year.
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and have stayed healthy through the holidays. I truly enjoyed the spirit of the holidays as my children, husband, and I celebrated our many blessings by feeding the homeless on Thanksgiving. It was the most enjoyable holiday I’ve had in a long time. It really felt like the holidays use to feel when I was a child. Pure joy! More on that further down!
First let me share with you what we have planned for the release on Decemeber first! We have some amazing new products that will allow you to whip up some holiday gifts in a jiffy! They are some really great products for hosting or attending that holiday party, or any event all year round. Sometimes we aren’t sure how to dress up that table, thank a hostess, welcome a guest, or set the tone for the event. This will really help you through those times, and in the most stylish way possible!
So here is what we have for you today, as we release 3 AMAZING New Pretty Packaging Templates, 5 New Pretty Impressions Stamp Sets, 4 New Pretty Pieces Cut Files, and 3 New Pretty Printable Paper Collections!
Card Wrapper
Wine & Dine
Chair-ish You
I’m quite excited about today’s project I’m sharing.
Available in PDF, SVG, GSD, DXF, WPC
Completed Project Size:
Chair Seat Box
3 X 3 Inches Wide
1 1/4 Inch Deep
Chair
9 Inches Tall
3 X 3 Inches Around
Who’d of thought a three dimensional chair could be so whimsical, fun and functional!
It is certain to make the perfect table setting, seating card, and favor for any party, wedding, or gifts for the hostess. You will find it especially fun for gifts from the kitchen like home baked goods, spices, recipes, and gift cards for a new home.
I chose the stripe pattern in the Table for Two paper collection. It is a great neutral color, and it matches the Hostess’ dining room 😀 I think that type of attention to detail is always appreciated and never goes unnoticed.
I used mine for a hostess gift. We often get invited to numerous holiday parties, so I made this one for my brother’s mother in law Annis, hence the framed monogram A on the chair back, which was printed direct onto my template.
The frame and monogram A is from the *NEW* Merriest Monograms set. I think this set is beyond fabulous! I colored the frame to match the grey in the Table for Two paper, and I colored in the center of the frame in the same color green as in the Table for Two paper collection. The A is colored in white.
The Thank you for being a lovely hostess sentiment is from the *NEW* Table for Two Sentiments Set . I simply tied around a grey ribbon and added a white Prima flower. So simple and understated, but so pretty too!
Now, what to put inside? There are SO MANY options! I know that Annis has an amazing jet tub and loves organic Bath Bombs! I found this one themed as a cupcake 😀
Whomever you gift this to, for whatever reason, it is certain to be chair-ished!
These tall chairs would be perfect for any shower, or especially on a table for a Wedding! Great for sending your guests home with a little treat. Wrap up some homemade cookies, truffles, brownies, maybe some drink mixers…..truly endless possibilities.
You will want to check out the Two for Dinner, Two for Dinner Sentiments, Homemade Holidays/Sentiments, Hauntingly Homemade Labels and the Apothecary Labels set for some great additions to this template!
Now onto the thank you note I created to match 😀 I love matchy, matchy stuff.
I used the Perfect Place Card cut file for my thank you note. This is a elegant letter style invitation card, with a coordinating mat layer, so you can quickly and easily create your own customized invitation for any event, or compose a letter of gratitude in style!

Completed Project Size:
4 3/4 Inch Tall
5 3/4 Inch Wide
If you are looking for the perfect place card to dress up any table, be it for that special dinner, the holiday’s, a wedding, shower, or other event, then this is the card file for you. You can easily make any table look stunning and elegant for any event with our amazing coordinating products.
The leaf “plate” print is from the Table for Two Set and the sentiment is the same one from the Chair-ish You project.
The Thank you sentiment is from the Merriest Monograms set. The vintage woman is so pretty, and she is from the *NEW* Vintage Vineyard set.
I decorated the bottom part of the card digitally by clipping the polka dot pattern, that matches the chair from the Table for Two paper collection.
The sentiment on teh bottom of the card is the same sentiment I used in the *NEW* Table for Two Sentiments Set
You can create this to become a thank you card, or an invitation too!
Place the persons name, initials or table number at the top.
This is just the start of the MANY ideas for uses of our latest products! So keep checking in and see what our team has in store!
Now onto our Thanksgiving adventure!
We were all excited to help out with our new endevour to help feed the local homeless families, and ended up serving over 200 people! We know we are truly blessed to have our health, love of family, and friends, and a warm place to live.
Here the kids are getting ready to head out to the Fire Station where we were going to serve the meals.
Noah was especially social while serving his items. He smiled ear to ear, greeted people, and made sure to ask everyone “So are you having a great Thanksgiving, because I am so glad you’re here!”
While Alexa just served pie, and a shy smile. She didn’t understand WHY some people DIDN’T want pie!…
It was by far the best thing I have experienced in a long time. Pure joy. It actually felt so amazing that I have to say that last time it “felt” like Thanksgiving like that and what life is all about I was probably a child.
The kids were beyond my expectations. They sat with everyone while they ate, and made conversation. They really enjoyed it too and immediately asked if we could do it again next year. That was so great to hear. I was just so happy that they “got it”! They got how good it feels to help others and give back. They felt the joy of bringing a smile to someones face. They saw how much we actually have and were genuinely grateful. I am thankful that they let us all help and participate as a family because everyone there left with something more than a full tummy and a plate of food 😀
I felt so humbled I couldn’t even bare to go out on Black Friday (as I usually do) and fight crowds for the latest and greatest “things”. It seems so hypocritical. Plus I want the feelings of this day to last as long as possible because this feeling CANNOT be bought for any price 😀

This set couldn’t be any cuter, Lauren! And .. the kids look amazing in the picture here 🙂 We’re participating in a holiday progressive dinner and I think this gift set would be perfect to give at each stop to the hosts!!
This is absolutely darling! I have a dinner party on Sunday evening and I hope that I can complete this for a hostess gift. I am thinking of making some Christmas baking tags for homemade treats. I have made these for friends in the past and they are popular because they will have them for when they share. The chair is just perfect!
What a touching post! I’m sure your kids will grow up to be wonderful people, being brought up in such a great way. And the project is great too, would love to see more such elegant designs in the future!
Hi Lauren,
This is a super duper present!!! Just love it!!! Super original and unique.
Hugs,

Lauren, thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving story. Isn’t it amazing how giving brings more joy than receiving! Wishing you and your family many blessings throughout this holiday season.
Love all creations. So sad that my computer will not let me get to your store. I keep getting an error message.
Lauren, what a wonderful story. I am so happy that you had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. Your children are amazing!
And I love your projects, too! 🙂
I am usually appalled by the whole Black Friday thing and how people are so greedy! So refreshing to read how your family celebrated Thanksgiving – what a lovely day you had!
Thank you Tracy I am happy to hear you found these tips helpful. Please feel free to share this with others that might also enjoy this information as well.
Previous shootings had little impact on public opinion about gun laws.
Views remained virtually unchanged, with voters splitting nearly evenly over the issue, following the Colorado movie theater shooting. While 47 percent said it was more important to control gun ownership, 46 percent prioritized protecting the rights of Americans to own guns, in a national survey conducted July 26-29 by the Pew Research Center.
