Free Valentine Straw Chalkboard Tags & Love Hearts StrawFlags/Cupcake Toppers

In celebration of LOVE, here are a couple of free printables for you:)

{The Chalkboard Tags} - A massive variety of cute straws can be purchased from my store here:

DOWNLOAD TAGS PRINTABLE HERE

These are the perfect width to attach to the bottom of a pack of straws, or can be punched and tied with some cute twine (available in my Etsy shop) around however many straws you like. Contains message “You Are Ex-STRAW-dinary, Happy Valentines Day!”. The printable is sized 8.5x11 and contains 13 tags on each sheet that just need to be cut out. I recommend card stock for printing these.

{Love Hearts Straw Flags/Cupcake Toppers)

DOWNLOAD STRAW FLAGS  HERE

Inspired by the love hearts candy these little flags are a cute addition to your straws with fun messages like: “Be Mine”, “I Like You”, “ You Rock”, “Love You”, “Call Me”, “For Ever”, “Smile”, and “Love Bug”. Each 8.5x11 printable contains 34 Straw Flags.

Instructions for making Straw Flags/Cupcake Toppers

• Print the sheet on your paper of choice. (I used a 67lb card stock, but regular 20lb paper would work too) 
• Cut the paper along the light grey lines, this will result in 34 individual flags 
• Stick some ‘permanent’ double-sided tape on the back of the flags about two thirds of the way down, (so, one third of the back of the flag will have tape on and two thirds will not) ~ make sure the tape goes all the way to the edges this will keep the sides together giving it a professional look. 
• Get your straw and wrap the flag around it with the love hearts on the outside, lining up the two ends together, then press the two sides of the flag together. ** These will also work as cupcake toppers and you would substitute a straw for a toothpick and put double-sided tape on half of the back instead. ** 
• To finish your flag you can cut a triangle shape at the end or cut on a slant.

Privately Parent, Publicly Praise

"Mock your children as they struggle and they will learn to never share their struggles with you." (Shared from this great article, worth the read!:

GREAT article "privately parent and publicly praise" your children. My Mission President, gave some great marriage advice years before I got married - to paraphrase him -, 'do not talk badly about your spouse in front of others', there is a time and a place to share concerns or problems with a few select TRUSTED friends/family, but to focus on negative behavior and feelings in your children or your spouse only serves to give a breeding ground for the feelings to grow in your heart. I'm a big believer in "As a man thinketh so is he", and positive thoughts lead to positive feelings, and positive feelings lead to positive behavior. In my humble opinion;)

Glow Yourself

"If you want to give light to others you have to glow yourself."

(“For I Was Blind, but Now I See,” Ensign, May 1999, 54)

General Conference October 2013 - Printables

Hi there:) I will be doing free printables again this year for General Conference, but because I have 3 very busy kids between the ages of 2 and 5 I won't be doing them until after Conference is over so I can focus on them, and the messages. If you check back next weekend they should be here:)

The First = Bravest, Strongest, Happiest

The first to apologize is the bravest. 

The first to forgive is the strongest. 

And the first to forget is the happiest.

Will This Matter?

"Frame every so-called disaster with these words: in five years, will this matter".

Be Kind to Women - Happy Mother's Day

“Be kind to the women. They constitute half the population and are mothers to the other half.”

The World is Still a Beautiful Place

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”

― Kurt Vonnegut
