Get it done!

Dear Think::

What is our best quality?  We are creative.
What is our worst quality? We are creative.

What do our husbands love about us?  We are resourceful
What drives our husbands crazy?  We are resourceful

What makes you so happy?  A incredible idea that gets done
What keeps you under the covers?  A incredible idea that sits in our heads

So, as much as we both love the cheap, handmade, creative wonderful idea - I think the both of us have learned, over the years, to appreciate the power of getting things done.
Who are we kidding?  We both envy the gal that can think of something, do it, buy it and send it out, wipe her hands and be done for the season just as much as the gal who can eat junk and not gain a pound. (maybe the first more than the second)

So while this season we both will be sending each other creative time consuming ideas that take lots of glue, I am also sending you  a "Get it done" project. 

This idea falls into many categories.  Cheap, Well Packaged, Easy & Clever Holiday.

Bath and Body Works right now has their Concentrated Evergreen Room Sprays on sale for $1.00.  (all the rest are $3.00 still a great deal).  They also have these wonderful clear bags printed in gold with Holiday Happiness and ribbon to match for FREE!

I bought one for each of the preschool teachers (I have 6 - yikes that is a lot huh) and am going to stick them in their mailbox's tomorrow to start off the holiday season.

Remember that year Jen in Tennessee had a basket full of gifts at her door during the holiday to pass out to guests who stopped by - this would be perfect for that. 

With my little gift tags letting the the teachers know how much we appreciate all they do for the girls, this is a perfect, fast holiday happy*! (I also learned that in Tennessee - those southern women are so awesome)

Have fun in San Diego while I am freezing in the East!

*Happy - a little something that you give to a friend or neighbor or someone you love to just make them happy.  It is usually something small that can fit in the palm of your hand but is always packaged dang cute!

Thanks for the great idea!

I've been contemplating on a great small gift idea that won't break the bank. Thanks for the hint!

P.S. I am one of those unfortunate women that can't think of anything creative on her own and has to borrow an idea from others.
