GIFT — STUDIO BLOG — that girl katie

Hey, it's me, that girl katie, Happy Friday!

So, if you have been following along this week maybe you are curious the gift I gave my mom this holiday season?

I had finished all my holiday shopping except for something for my mom. Sure I could go out and buy a nice scarf, book or food item but for me that wasn't going to cut it. I am a believer in, if you don't know what to get someone then don't. It's that simple and sometimes, less really is more. Plus, I knew the only thing my mom wanted is for everyone to be healthy and happy but sadly stores don't sell that.

I was really ok with not giving her anything and I knew she would be fine with that too. However, I managed to do some creative research and discovered this picture.

I knew I could pull this gift idea off but finding the time would be tricky since Christmas was quickly approaching.

Here is how my version turned out & a few examples of what I put into the envelopes:

(notice how I copied a picture of my mom and placed it beside the Queen Mum)

TIP: Allow yourself more time to really be creative.

SUPPLIES:

. markers . envelopes . paper . scissors . glue . tape . old pictures . computer & printer

Hi y'all, it's me, that girl katie, Are you ever stumped at what gift to give a pair of newlyweds?

Sure you can buy a piece of china, stem or glassware. Personally, the thought of a glass or plate makes me yawn and then to think you have to write a thank you note for it as well is another issue or blog post.

How about giving the newlyweds something that is personalized and actually used for a few weeks during the holiday season?
