a little bit D.C., a little bit design, a little bit me
I am having the perfect lazy weekend here in Virginia. Yesterday I spent my daylight hours working in my garden and reading, before getting ready to go out. A new True Food Kitchen is opening in Arlington this week (yay!) and they generously sent me an invitation to their pre-opening dinner. I asked my friend [...]
Free printable bath bomb gift tags for Mother's Day.
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, so I wanted to give you another gift idea. My friend Beth sells Perfectly Posh, and their bath bombs are a wonderful little present if you need something small for your child to take to school. They are also great shower favors. The printable 'You're the Bomb' gift tags [...]
We have had absolutely stunning weather in Northern Virginia this week. Warm, sunny, a nice breeze. I worked from home today and it was brutal not being able to go play in my garden, and so the minute I was off the clock I headed out. I arranged my planter boxes last week and snapped [...]
I love a bold, retro typeface. Whenever I travel, I often spend more time ogling old signs than I do the buildings, even though I'm an historic preservationist. I designed this "for you" gift tag with vintage signs in mind, and kept it simple in black and white. You can use it with kraft gift [...]
We are getting near the end of the school year and teacher appreciation week is approaching. These tags will help you wrap presents for anyone who has given you a 'hand' recently.

I decided to design an extra cheerful gift tag for Mother's Day gift wrapping. These pink circle tags can be used in lieu of a card. Just write a message on the back, and clip to a little sack with a treat inside. She'll love it. You may download your free printable tags using the [...]
Spring is here, and with it comes parties, showers, and teacher appreciation week. If you are looking for a small thank you gift for a client, favor, or someone who has gone the extra mile, then this idea is perfect. I used a little bottle of nail polish, but you can also put together a [...]
I am not ashamed to say that I absolutely love Peeps. I love them so much that I even have a preference on the shape. IMO the original chicks are best since they are a little thicker and squishier around the middle. Many of my friends think it is funny that I like them so [...]
These gift tags may be a little (or a lot) familiar. They coordinate with the eggcellent Easter tags that I posted last week. The "You're an Eggcellent Teacher" tags are specifically for your favorite teachers. Fill a mason jar with Whoppers eggs like I did, or use bags of jelly beans, Reese's peanut butter cup [...]
