one ringy dingy...

We had one of these years ago. My mama was the town operator. We "went dial" when I was in the 3rd grade and she chose my high school graduation year to be our phone number.... which is still my phone number today in the same house at age 53.

a bushel and a peck...

I adore this print that I found on Pinterest. My mama used to say this when I was little, but she always added, "and a hug around  the neck." ...sweet memory!

This was made as a printable by Kelsey at Tattered and Inked. Kelsey has kindly invited us over to her place for a visit. What a sweetie! ...Now I'm off to visit Miss Kelsey AFTER I text my grown children that I still love them a bushel and a peck.... 

gonna make some more...

If I still had my shop, I'd make this tonight for my door.  I just love it!

This fantastic door signage came from Becca at Blue Cricket Design .

Elf Someone...

{Free Printable} "You've Been Elfed" Door Signs and Instructions

In case you didn't know...
Elfing is secretly treating someone to Christmas gifts/goodies!

 Basically you fill a basket or bag with goodies, toys or anything festive for Christmas and leave it on the front doorstep of a friend or neighbor. You must include a "door sign" and "poem/instructions" so that the recipient knows what this is there for and how to pass long the favor. The recipient will place the door sign on their front door to let others know that they have had a turn being "Elf'ed". Then the recipient gets a turn at this. Pretty soon the whole neighborhood is filled w/ homes with doors that have the signs up!

What a great time ofyear to show our friends and neighbors that we care for them!

Anders + Ruff  designed 2 "We've Been Elfed" Door Signs and an instructions poem letter as well..

for the 2 versions of the "We've Been Elfed" door sign, jump over to Anders + Ruff ...

Have fun Elf-ing and I hope you get Elf-ed in return!
