kiss me at midnight - New Year's Eve treats

The tradition is to kiss the one you love at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. Well, when you have an almost 13 year-old who thinks kissing is about as gross as it gets, you find a way to get creative. He does love Hershey kisses, so stepping them up with a fun punch board from We R Memory Keepers worked to keep the tradition alive, without grossness. Ha!

(The blue-wrapped kisses are cookies & cream flavored. Yum.)

Using the Emoji Punch Board, I created these cute kissy faces for the bottom of the chocolate kisses. Punching these takes about 3 seconds and is made even speedier when you use the pre-cut paper pads that are also available!

Using the Word Punch Board, I also made a little card to put next to the bowl of treats. Its good to label what is happening. Keeps the fear away from middle-schoolers. Hopefully this handmade touch brings some memorable fun to the party. And not cooties.

quick teacher gift - emoji sticky notes

We all appreciate teachers and everything they do for our students. We also want to make sure we thank them, but so often its really busy, not allowing us to make a thoughtful gift. Well, this project has you covered. Its quick, easy, you can make the kids help with no worry, its personalized, useful, and thoughtful! WOW! That's a lot of goodness in one tag! :D

For my We R Memory Keepers design team project this week, I needed to make a teacher gift. Being a former teacher, I am all about sharing gifts that can be used and appreciated. These adorable emoji sticky notes are just the ticket! 

Using the new Emoji Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers, I punched out stacks of fun faces and made little sticky note pads. How cute are these?!?! 

A few other tools made quick work of these tags. Because I know teacher's need a little treat, I hung the tags from jars filled with candy. Trust me, it will be appreciated! :D For all the details, how-tos, some FANTASTIC tips, and how to make this gift totally personalized, see the full post on the We R Memory Keepers Blog.

All the best to your kiddos as they head back to school. Thinking of all you moms who dropped your kiddos off at college for the first time. This is always an emotional time of year-for me too. Here is to a wonderful school year everyone!

Sincerely Yours,
