Hi!
I'm Amy, aka One Artsy Mama, and I am so excited to be here at Johnny in a Dress today! I just love all things artistic and crafty, and I'm happiest when I'm creating something. I've been married to my best friend and dance partner for almost ten years, and we have an adorable 3-year old "Little Crafter" who brings more joy to our lives than we ever imagined was possible.
I'm passionate about my family, Jesus, and ballroom/latin dance, and I'm addicted to Starbucks.
Peppermint mocha, anyone?
This holiday season is my very favorite time of year, and December is especially fun for me since it's not only Advent, Christmas, and New Year's, but also my birthday and our wedding anniversary.
One of the things I enjoy most about preparing for the holidays is making meaningful gifts for the people I love. Natalie asked me if I'd share one of those gift ideas with you today, and I couldn't be more honored by her invitation!
So, here is a quick, easy little project you can whip up for anyone on your list, and are you ready for the best part...it's FREE!
ONE ARTSY MAMA'S HOLIDAY COUPON BOOK
Materials:
holiday coupon template {I made it up for you and you can download it right from this post!}
scissors
small hole punch
ribbon, cord, or twine
marker or pen
STEP 1: Save the coupon templates {just open the link for each page, right click and save to your computer}. Print out as many copies as you like. You only need to print the first page once. If you want more than six coupons, print pages 2-3 multiple times until you have your desired number. I printed mine on cardstock so the coupons are a little sturdier.
Page 1: Instructions and cover
Page 2: Coupon designs 1-3
Page 3: Coupon designs 4-6
STEP 2: Cut out coupons and arrange in whatever order you like. Place the cover on top.
STEP 4: Fill in whatever you want each coupon to be redeemable for!
Here are a few ideas for a significant other:
a massage {you can specify back rub, foot rub, etc}
dinner out
your favorite dinner at home
a movie night
a coffeehouse date
doing your least favorite household chore for you
A few ideas for a neighbor or friend:
one night of free babysitting
one girls' day out
one trip to the mall/Michael's/clothing store together
one afternoon at the coffeehouse
one drink at Starbucks on me
one meal delivered to your house
one lesson in {whatever kind of craft you do best}
Have fun, be creative, and try to think of what that person would appreciate most!
This little book makes a great stocking stuffer or a gift for the person on your list who's impossible to buy for! Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much, Natalie, for sharing your fabulous blog with me today. I hope you all will come and visit me sometime at One Artsy Mama; I love making new friends, and I have some exciting things going on for the holidays!
Happy crafting,
Isn't that the cutest gift idea EVER?!?

ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and a great idea. Perfect for someone who's hard to shop for.
ReplyDeleteMy kids want to make their dad a Christmas gift and we don't have money to buy expensive craft items. This is perfect. Thank you.
