Handmade Gift Tags - examples of tags and a packaged bag in upper left, partially seen

Handmade Gift TagsI like making my own gift tags because it gives me more room to write what I really want to say on the tag. Those little sticky ones you buy barely have room for the name!

Medical Information for EmergenciesI was in a car accident three months ago. The ambulance took me to the hospital from the car accident.

Hidden Treasure When ShoppingWhen I make my grocery list, I put how much I'm willing to spend next to each item. If I catch something on sale or have a coupon for it, it's like a hidden treasure. I put the difference in savings. Also, I keep my lists in a spiral noteook. I can look back to see how much I paid for an item, and I can usually tell what items I have on hand so I don't buy stuff I already have.

 

Measuring spoons next to caps that measure the same.

Substitutes for Measuring SpoonsIf you are moving and don't have the kitchen stuff unpacked yet, this might help. A cap from a coffee creamer is exactly one Tablespoon. A cap from a flavored water or soda bottle is exactly one Teaspoon.
