Save your ornaments with this kid-proof Christmas tree

 

Happy holidays! Christmas is just around the corner and this year I was inspired to create a special tree for my son to decorate. He loves to help decorate the Christmas tree, but he doesn’t get to hang as many ornaments as he would like because they are so fragile. I decided to make a tree just for him out of durable, kid-proof materials at FedEx Office®.


Here are the steps you can follow to create a kid-proof Christmas tree. (And there are no pesky needles or broken glass!)

Hip Summer Designs: A Fun Way to Say Thanks

 

Summertime always brings a flurry of special events. After attending several weddings and baby showers already this summer, I was inspired to create a free printable chevron thank you card and gift tags. Yellow and gray are popular color combinations this season and the chevron pattern (vertical stripes) seems to be everywhere!


I always like to have some extra stationery on hand because you never know when you’ll need it. These prints are versatile and can be used no matter what the occasion.

 

The matching yellow and gray thank you tags make this free printable package complete.

Here’s To You, Dad!

 

Father’s Day is fast approaching and that means it’s time to start brainstorming new and exciting ideas to honor the special dads out there. Dads love to grill, but since it’s his day, why not let him hang up the tongs and relax? Instead, pull the kiddos together and start creating a day of backyard fun, complete with customized lawn games and a picnic. Read on for a few tips to get started…


·         Grub. In my opinion, food is the linchpin of any party, and a backyard Father’s Day is no exception. Make all of dad’s favorites, or pick up some delicious takeout from a local restaurant as a special treat. Don’t forget to grab some fun paper plates, cups and plastic silverware and carry it all out to the backyard. All that’s left is to spread out a picnic blanket and enjoy!

Art Makes the Perfect Mother’s Day Present!

 

Finding a Mother’s Day gift should be simple – all you really want is to show your Mother how much you care about her. But somehow it seems many of us fall back on the standard choices each year – a beautiful bouquet of flowers or sweet box of chocolates. This year, why not celebrate her by giving a beautiful work of art for Mother's Day? ...read more

Eliminate Cup Confusion with Custom Labels

 

There’s nothing worse than losing track of your drink at a party. It happens to me all the time, especially at family gatherings where everyone is milling about and engrossed in conversation. There’s the tried and true permanent marker method, where everyone writes their names or initials on their cup, but let’s be honest – it doesn’t look very polished and sometimes if you don’t have the right kind of marker it rubs right off.


Well, it doesn’t have to be this way! The last time I ended up thirsty and drinkless, I came up with a simple idea to keep track of everyone’s drinks without compromising presentation or your party theme. Dry erase labels! I designed a versatile template that I can reuse for parties (including kid’s birthdays!), picnics, volunteer events, or really any time when cup confusion presents itself. Best of all, FedEx Office® can quickly print the labels on a dry erase vinyl, and they offer a multitude of different vinyl colors to match any theme!
