hey guys! i’m so excited to welcome back the most lovely abigail page as a contributor for going home to roost! after taking a short hiatus to get hitched (you should see their wedding website!) abigail is back and will be popping in each month with a pretty printable for you. i hope you’ll enjoy these and join me in saying, welcome back abigail! we’ve missed you. :) xo, bonnie

Handmade gifts can be some of the best – especially when they’re edible! However, there just seems to be something wrong with loads of gorgeous holiday cookies that represent hours and hours of baking… on a plain paper plate with green plastic wrap. These festive cookie envelopes are the perfect way to present just the right amount of sweet to your favorite recipients.

These can be printed on any lighter color of card stock, and the liner can be made ideally from wax paper (more detailed instructions are on the printables themselves). The closure is where it can get really fun – buttons, ribbons, and washi tape are what I used but I would love to do some with yarn pom-poms, big stickers… it’s really endless. One tip – flat cookies that are less than three inches in diameter work best with these envelopes. If you try to put a very round cookie in there it might not close all the way. Four tiny cookies would also be a really cute option.

I used this recipe for red velvet crinkle cookies that you can find on my blog here.

Have a fantastic Christmas with your families and friends! -abigail

each year i print out a little christmas gift list to help keep all the gifts i buy/make for others organized. this way, i can see what i’m giving everyone and make sure i don’t forget anything! this year, i’ve also added a ‘wrapped’ check box, just to make sure everything arrives in the mail and gets put under the tree.

i begin each year by jotting down the ideas i have for everyone (in pencil). then, as i purchase (or make) each item, i put a check mark in the box labeled ‘bought’. then, i check them off one more time as i wrap them just to be sure nothing gets forgotten. i also usually jot down the price next to the item, so i can keep track of what i spend each year!

because there’s nothing worse than having a loved one find your gift list, i’ve added an optional ‘side 2′ to this printable. to use, just turn your piece of paper over and print these two ‘no peeking’ labels on the back. fold from top to bottom, then right to left and the labels will show on both sides when your list is folded.

i hope this helps keeps your holidays organized! love, bonnie

p.s. don’t worry mom, this isn’t actually what i’m getting you!

another month has come and gone, which means it’s time for another desktop calendar! i have so much fun making these each month, and i hope you enjoy them as well. :) to me, september always means that summer is beginning to wind down and that autumn is just around the corner. brisk(er) mornings and hazy evenings bring just enough chill for a light sweater. ahhh.

august is one of my favorite months (check back tomorrow to see why), so i had tons of fun creating this desktop calendar for you. inspired by the vibrant southwest, i think it has a warm and summery feel to it. happy august!
