CYO Countdown to Kisses

Every year my gram gets me one of those chocolate advent calendars from the $1 store to countdown to Christmas. Is it just me or are those chocolates the best ever? They may just be the cheapest chocolates ever made, but it doesn't matter. They're delicious! I know you all know which calendars I'm referring to. Did you have one of these as a kid?


I think a big reason why I love the taste of these chocolates is because I only get them once a year... counting down to my absolute favorite time of year. Anticipation to special occasions makes it all more exciting. Especially for the kiddos! Since Valentine's Day is in a couple of weeks, why not create a countdown to this special day? After all, why should Christmas be the only holiday that gets a calendar?

I absolutely love this Countdown to Kisses Calendar!
Here is a TUTORIAL on how to create your own
Valentine's Day Countdown Calendar with Hershey Kisses



Enjoy!

Reasons Why We Love You

This past year my step-dad turned 60, and I wanted to get him something special for this birthday milestone. I went out and purchased two 30-packs of his favorite beverage. I carefully opened the packaging to place labels on each can: Reasons Why We Love Greggy!

I placed all of them back into the box (in order of course), and wrapped. He absolutely loved this gift! And yes, we thought of 60 reasons... each one unique. 



(fits Avery Template 5163)

I would love to hear how you used your 30 labels in the comments.
