Vintage Freebie with Keren: Shabby Pink Christmas Tags

Hi there everyone! It's been WAY too long and I've missed you all so very much!
Like Megan mentioned, I was in the middle of moving cross country and let's just say moving cross country  will never be in my To Do List again. EVER.

In the mist of all the madness, I did manage to sneak away and create a very LAST minute Christmas Freebie, for you all! I've always loved a man in Pink, and Ol' Saint Nick never looked so good! ;)

Serious bang for a buck!

I'm not a money person.  I don't like to think about money, budget money, handle money, or even really make money as you can see by my lackluster approach to chasing down blog and website sponsors.  I do love a good deal though.  I like to see how far my pennies can stretch while finding things I love.  A vintage treasure here, a Target coupon there.  Nothing too fancy, but it's fun sometimes to see what a well-placed dollar can get you.  Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have come across the best deal of all time.  Seriously.  Have you ever heard of this?

I just recently discovered Give 1 Save 1 through my friend Alisa and it is AWESOME!  In a nutshell, you give one dollar to save one child.  ONE dollar.  I've bought several things throughout my life with a dollar.  A diet Coke at McDonald's, a carousel ride for my kids at the mall, a couple fake mustaches from those little machines that spit out the little plastic egg things.  None of that can even compare to helping a child in need of adoption unite with a family.  Maybe my little dollar or your little dollar alone can't do all that much, but together, we can do really great things.  What do you say?  Will ya give a buck?  Okay, actually, will you give two?  Because I really want you to do this right now so you can download Alisa's gorgeous printable art, but I also want you to give one a little later when Yours Truly will be posting over there.  :)

Please go here and be a little bit more awesome today.

Free Printable Calendar Awesomeness

Things have been a little quiet at Shabby Blogs lately.  Jessica and Keren are still so busy and I have been totally selfish with my time.  I feel like November is a time for counting our blessings and December is a time for cherishing them.  I've been busy doing work for some upcoming things, but I have mostly been just cherishing being a mother and a wife.  Snuggling my little ones, trimming the tree, watching Christmas movies, doing fun little projects together as a family.  Last night my husband and I stayed up until 4am just laying in bed, laughing over the silliest things.  I love my little family and the coziness that falls upon our yellow farmhouse this time of year.  I hope you've been able to slow down and enjoy a little loveliness too!

I've been wanting to do a really special freebie that is December-worthy, but I haven't been able to think of anything rad enough.  Then it occurred to me to hit up my dear friend Adam of Fall Down Tree...who is practically bursting with awesome.  Holy smokes, has he delivered!  Do you remember that adorable printable calendar he was good enough to share with us last year?  Well, he has made another one and it is to die for, friends!  It's going on my wall TODAY.  It's only available to download until Tuesday the 13th so click quick, people!  :)

Give yourself the gift of AWESOME!

Thank you so much, Adam!  You are full of talent and generosity from beard to toe.  :)  Also, I have it on good authority that there is a sale going on at the Fall Down Tree Etsy shop right now where you can buy two prints and get a third one free!  Sweet, huh?  I don't know about you, but I am aaaall over that.  Happy December!!!
