{holiday heirloom recipe collection — freebie}

December 11, 2012 By Vanessa @ {nifty thrifty things} | 7 Comments

Today’s post is dedicated to my wonderful Oma. As I mentioned at the {nifty thrifty sunday} linky party, she turned 90 this past Saturday and luckily I was able to go to Berlin to celebrate with her. We had a wonderful weekend, filled with family time and festivities.

My grandma was the one who introduced me to homemade eggnog. It has been a Holiday family tradition for as long as I can remember, and finally last year I actually gave it a shot to make it myself for the first time. Delicious and super easy to make!

My aunt and I actually made some homemade eggnog for one of the gifts to my grandma. She loved it! ;)

If you’d like the see the recipe for homemade eggnog, check out this amazing Holiday Heirloom Recipe e-Book that Gwen from The Bold Abode created. It’s filled with family heirloom recipes from 16 amazing bloggers. The recipe e-book is FREE to download!

There’s something about pinwheels that screams summer-time to me.
With 4^th of July only being only two weeks away from the official start of summer, it’s the perfect match in my opinion!

So today, just in time to celebrate Independence Day, I thought I’d share a patriotic pinwheel printable freebie with you. I hope you’ll enjoy the little craft! ;)

What you’ll need:

Card stock
Printer
Scissors
Glue
Straight pins with a head
Pliers
Paper lollipop sticks

How did it get to be Mother’s Day in less than a week?! Does time seem to go by faster this year? Or is it because I’m getting older (am I really turning 30 this year?! ;) )?

Well, anyways — I thought I’d share some freebie printables in honor of our fabulous moms! The cards print at 10″ x 7″ and fold to 5″ x 7″. {be sure to print at 100%}

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! :)

Are you ready for Halloween or have you been procrastinating like me?
We’ll be out of town over Halloween, so I’m not decorating much around our home this year anyways, but I couldn’t go without decorating just a little and created some freebies: Halloween bunting and mini flags printables.
I’m not big into the scary side of Halloween, but I do like some cute Halloween crafts, costumes and of course candy! ;) What are you doing for Halloween this year?Happy Halloween!!
