It’s the Little Things

Have gone to a very fancy party, restaurant, or event and noticed it’s the little things done with love that make all the difference.

Creativity without love = showing off & guests who leave with a void in their hearts

Creativity with love = inspiration & guests who wish they could return again tomorrow

If you cannot spend a lot of money on guests, you can always give away plenty of love & inspiration. It’s always fun to see what you can make with things you have on hand.

It’s the Little Things

1. A little box decorated with some scrapbook paper (old cards & calendar pages would work just wonderfully), rosemary, and a pine cone. Fill a box with verses, pictures or quotes.

2. Beautify a mini lunch bag or box with ribbons, scrapbook paper, and pretty paper clips. Fill it bag with candies, a pretty soap, or a mini candle.

3. Buy your holiday decorations plain and you can redesign them for other holidays like this cute little bunny. Add a lemon thyme wreath, and he hops from Easter to Christmas!

4. Black Halloween boxes found on clearance make a perfect Christmas box with festive papers, a big black bow, & a shiny button. Place bell candies or actual bells and other small gifts. Black bows are always so very classy.

5. The odder the juice glass, the more delicious the juice. Find inexpensive food-safe bottles with fancy toppers for juice. The dollar store is a great place to find something like this.

In the midst of all the recipes, ideas, & sparkles you are bombarded with, remember it’s the little things done with big love that will count.
