to do list -# 10 cheap neighbor gift. - Check!

So i needed a good cheap neighbor gift. and for a couple friends too. So today while i was taking a time out (driving in the car alone because i needed some space and had yelled for far too long, Lance made me leave ) andyway while i was alone i had a moment to think about the fact I haven't gotten anything for the neighbors. just a little something , and i like to take mine first because sometimes it's lame. So anyway. i bought a bunch of 2 liters of Sprite. it will have this tag on it. "we hope your christmas is merry and SPRITE! " yeah cheap and easy. and i am having them printed up at CVS. since my printer is out of ink. I hope it works. now I'm second guessing myself. but see my first photo shopped thing? well it is my second one but this is my first successful one. Hope it turns out.



don't ya just love the free Santa card i got from Janna and her altered letters from her Santa's treats collection?

ta da! love it!

I got one of those from the kids' school for volunteering and I thought it was adorable. I was actually thinking I'd copy it for neighbor type gifts myself! See, RAD minds think alike!!

Merry Christmas!!

How cute! We just got a 2 liter of Root Beer and a Can of Chili that said " Have Rootin Tootin Christmas"he he it was wrapped in clear paper with a cute bow and card. I LOVED it. I think your idea is cute.

I love that card! It makes your awesome Sprite Gift even better. Seriously. Who doesn't want/need/crave a good bottle o'pop for the holidays--with all the food they're scarfing & extra family around?....You're brilliant.

That is soooo cute & I'm very impressed! I still have not even tried to do the digi-scrapbooking stuff yet!

Very cute. That's what I did last year, but your tag is MUCH cuter!

This year.... our culdesac neighbors aren't getting anything, as we decided as an emergency prep group to donate money to a "fund" to get something emergency prep-like for our block to use....like a big 1st aid kit.

Other neighbors...a bag of fruit, to offset the pounds of refined sugar being delivered daily to our doorsteps!
