White Christmas Tags to Print and Enjoy


I'll admit to watching "White Christmas" again and again, mainly for the smorgasbord scene. There's something about the idea of a quant inn with a giant fireplace and old-fashioned spread that speaks to my heart. I can just imagine being up at 2 a.m. and putting on a pretty housecoat and wandering over to the lodge lobby. 

Here is a link to a free sheet of "White Christmas" tags -- not the movie, but the snowy kind. I used to sell these on Etsy. They really do look nice when printed out on cardstock.

Or you can click the image below and SAVE or PRINT the sheet, depending on your computer and printer set-up. Finally, Blogger lets me upload huge files. If you click it and the image shows a little magnifying glass with a "+" on it, CLICK AGAIN to make it full-sized, then right-click to save!

Dropbox might put up a "Get a free account" window, but just click outside of it and then use the Download button if you don't have Dropbox and don't want a free account and want to download that way.



Thank'ee for stopping by.

Free Sheet of Christmas Birds to Print


It's cold even here, now, and so I have been feeding the birds. I love to see them eating so busily, but sometimes I have to give a tap on the windowpane to stop a bully birdie from chasing away a smaller bird.

Here is the Dropbox link to use, OR YOU CAN CLICK THE IMAGE, click it again if it shows a little magnifying glass with a "+" in it, and save it or print it!

The link goes to Dropbox. It looks like you have to make a free account to get the link, but you don't. Just click off of that pop-up window and then click the Download button. But a free account at Dropbox would be very useful, so you might want to consider it.

Thank'ee and I hope ye enjoy.

Pretty Christmas Free Printable Tags


Dearies, I don't know if your computer has the same settings as mine. I can call up an image from storage in my Pictures Folder by double-clicking it, and it will automatically have "Print" as an option, and will allow me to print it from huge down to multiple smaller copies on a single sheet of paper.

I hope you likewise have that option. I know that when I take images on a thumb drive over to Office Depot or Staples, they can also print multiple copies on a single cardstock sheet. 

Tomorrow I think I'll start posting whole sheets of tags, the ones I used to sell on Etsy, via Dropbox, or maybe they can just be posted now without the need for a secondary storage place. Things change so quickly in the blog world. I need to do a bit of research on how to use Dropbox - I've forgotten. I've forgotten quite a bit about the blogging world, too, and Google+ is new to me.

Anyhoo, here are a few Christmas tags ye may like to print. Thank'ee for dropping by and I hope ye enjoy.

Wish Book Memories: 1960's Plastic Wreath


A "pop-up" thrift store that is all Christmas items opened recently. All proceeds are for charitable causes. I went through the store (much to husband's dismay) and found this vintage mid-century "Della Robbia" wreath and had to get it, for $3 - probably the same price it sold at orginally.

I call this post "Wish Book Memories" because of the joy looking through the Sears Christmas Wish Book brought into my sad childhood. I loved the very smell of the thin pages, and spent the most time not in the Toy Section, but among the splendid pages of the Christmas decorations.




Thank'ee for stopping by.

2015 Potluck Prize-winning Recipe!


Halloo Elf Friends!








This year's company potluck did not disappoint -- it yielded what I thought was a wonderful and unusual recipe that deserves a place in your recipe box. This was the best potluck ever, since I managed to sit behind a large column out of sight of all my dear, dear co-workers.





Thank'ee for stopping by!

A Thanksgiving Free Printable Tag and Fluff Salad Recipe


Tonight I am cooking cornbread stuffing for the potluck at work -- just a simple recipe that has been long in my family.

I am of two minds concerning potlucks: On the one hand, the grumbling, hurt feelings, and expense are of concern, but on the other hand, I always seem to find some delightful new dish and get the recipe.

Last year I got this recipe:

Pistachio Fluff

1 large can crushed pineapple, undrained (20 oz)
1 small package pistachio instant pudding, dry (don't add milk) 
1 package or less of mini marshmallows - I use a bit over a cup
1 tub thawed Cool Whip (I use Tru Whip, which is all natural) ( 8 oz)

Mix the pineapple and pudding first, then add in the marshmallows and gently fold in the whipped topping, chill several hours, then serve. 

It's very pretty to put in individual cups and put a cherry on top.

Some people add pecan pieces to theirs.

And here is a little graphic for you -- a cleaned up vintage image put onto a tag shape.
