With the tightened economy, I wanted to come up with some inexpensive gift ideas to creatively say thank you.
I like giving reusable cups to package gifts. They are practical and cute! I decided an insulated travel cup would be appropriate for the winter season. To dress them up (literally) add a faux scarf of felt. You can buy a short cut of felt off the bolt from the craft store to give you a long enough piece to cut to wrap around the cup. Or if you have sheets of felt at home, sew or hot glue two strips together to fit around. Fiskars Razor-edge Scissors are my go-to option for cutting felt. If cutting long strips, using a rotary cutter on a craft mat with acrylic ruler is a quick option. Cut a couple slits at each end to mimic a scarf.
Tip: Cut an extra sliver from each slit to make the fringe really stand out.
You can tie a tag onto the scarf, but I found a way to display a sentiment in an unexpected way by adding a trendy flag at the top. Take a bamboo skewer and add a bead with small hole to the pointed end and screw on tightly. You may need to trim a little from the tip depending on the size of the bead hole. Add a little super glue if it is not secure. This skewer can be inserted into the drink opening at the top of the cup. You may need to trim some from the bottom of the skewer for a good height.
Since the travel cup is insulated and I am filling with packets of hot chocolate, 'warm winter wishes' is the perfect sentiment. The Winter Wishes stamp set has become my go-to stamp set this holiday season. I've been using it on everything! It has great phrases, beautiful snowflakes, and the most adorable penguin characters. After stamping the greeting onto cardstock trimmed as a flag, I added a snowflake punch for a finishing touch. I like to layer two punches in the same design in different sizes with a mini pop-dot for beautiful dimension.
Reusable cups are a great gift because they are not only practical, they are fun to fill! You can add little goodies like the hot chocolate packets I used, but you can also roll up a card or artwork inside from your child. I figured my 'warm' message could use a 'cool' card that would be fun for the kids to make.
I remembered how much fun the kids had making leaf rubbings this fall, and this is the same concept. Using the Snowflake texture plate, place a sheet of printer paper on top and color with crayons. There's no need to peel off the crayon wrapper. The flat end of the crayon works great for this to color back and forth. Play around with adding in multiple colors for a gorgeous look. Trim you child's masterpiece to fit on the front of a folded card and add a fun sentiment.
Another fun way to package goodies is by adding a few details onto a small, plain treat bag to create an adorable reindeer. A glittered nose for Rudolph pairs well with a 'thanks for making my future bright' tagline! A few standard shapes is all you need: a large oval from the oval shape template layered under a circle punched nose and two oval punches for eyes layered under two pop-up circle punched pupils. To add glitter to the punched nose, coat with glue (I use a little paintbrush) and sprinkle to cover with red glitter. The antlers are rolled into the top of the stapled bag. Just take three brown chenille stems and twist into one. Fold over each stem at the end and twist to form antlers. Bend each side up once secured inside top of bag.
The bag can house little treats or candy, a gift card, or a card and artwork from your child. Here's a fun way to make a coordinating card using a seasonal punch in a creative way. The limited edition Perfect Pear punch is a gorgeous design for the holidays and can pull adorable double duty as Rudolph.
Just punch three pears from brown cardstock. Trim off the leaf from one for your face and trim the leaves from the other two to adhere behind for ears. A trimmed Snowflake lever punch makes quick work of antlers.
An adorable baked treat can be a fun and inexpensive gift idea. I came up with this super simple snowman cupcake. I've found the simpler something is, the cuter it usually is. Which works out well during the busy holiday season! Bake standard sized cupcakes and frost white. Avoid frosting all the way to the edge. Leaving that barrier will be helpful when packaging. Add upside-down chocolate chips for eyes and a mouth and a candy corn nose.
I recently learned this trick for individually packaging cupcakes. Drop the cupcake into a short, nine ounce plastic cup and wrap in a clear treat bag tied with a ribbon bow. To kick it up a notch, I added white snowflakes to the bag. Stamp snowflakes from the Winter Wishes stamp set using white permanent solvent ink (I used StazOn Opaque in Cotton White) which will dry quickly on the plastic.
Print out a theme-appropriate 'thanks snow much' sentiment to punch with an XL circle squeeze punch and a holiday greeting onto a large circle. Adhere the two together to form a simple snowman tag. Add a handwritten note to the back and punch a hole at the top to hang from ribbon.
Whether you are giving a practical gift or a delicious one, turn to your Fiskars tools to creatively thank these special people in our lives.

"It was beautiful, very, very, beautiful," said fourth-grader Kylie Guitar. "When they released it, I almost cried."
The bird — a female weighing about 3 pounds — was rescued in early November after it was struck by a car on Interstate 205, according to Ashley Kinney, wildlife rehabilitation supervisor with the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley in San Jose.
A woman had seen the bird in the roadway and drove it to the wildlife center.
Students were invited to watch the release at Kenner Park because the school's location on Kavanagh Avenue is close to the park. The park was chosen because the bird had to be released within three miles of where it was found, Kinney said.
Once at the center, the hawk underwent extensive treatment for two broken bones in its right wing.
"It's definitely lucky to be alive; fortunate to be picked up by somebody who cares," Kinney said.
As Kinney slowly opened the bird carrier, students strained in their seats on the nearby grass to see the animal as it emerged.
The nearby students burst into cheers and applause as the hawk took flight and flew into a nearby pine tree.
After the event, the students expressed their reaction to the bird's release.
"Oh my God, that was amazing," said fifth grader Jayda Morales. "I always wanted to see a bird released."
Fourth-grader Cydney Macon said it was "was really cool, because we got to see the bird and see the bird set free."
Her classmate, Maria Turner, said she felt sorry the bird got hurt, but was happy that it was set free.
Principal Cindy Sasser said she was "excited" to witness the rare sight.
"We just don't have the opportunity to see something like this happen so close to us, and just the fact that there are agencies that are out there to help animals," she said.
Since this was the first time a school was allowed to take part in a wildlife release, Kinney took the opportunity to answer questions from the students regarding the bird's habitats, diet and identifiable markings.
A few Tracy families also enjoyed the spectacle at Kenner Park.
"I think this is really cool," said Georgie Solorzano, who brought her 6-year-old daughter, Veronica. "This just teaches the kids so much. It's an opportunity to see nature at its finest. It's pretty special that we get to see this."
Holding a drawing of the hawk, Veronica said she likes birds and hoped to someday become a veterinarian.
To thank the rescue center for allowing the students to take part in the release, each class collected toilet paper and paper towels. Kinney told the students the items on the rescue's wish list would be used to build baby bird nests and cleanup around the rescue.

The living room designed by Jack Fhillips sings the blues in confident, enticing tones that echo the tranquil water nearby.
Pastels can be overly sweet, warns Jack. "You have to test them to discover the one that reads sophisticated and not silly. A great blue in Florida could be dull and deadly in New York."
With loads of architectural details and natural light, the room's pale blue shell sets off the furnishings, including a tufted sofa, matching club chairs, and a linen-wrapped cocktail table Jack hand-painted in subtle, textured stripes.

Tejay van Garderen finished second and Brent Bookwalter was third for the BMC Racing Team Saturday as David Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda) won his seventh national time trial title in the past nine years at the Greenville Hospital System USA Cycling pro championships.
Road Race Is Monday
Zabriskie covered the 33-kilometer course in 40:41, six seconds faster than van Garderen and 27 seconds faster than Bookwalter, who improved on his fourth place from a year ago. Van Garderen said he was surprised to learn he was only six seconds off the winning time after conceding 34 seconds to Zabriskie in a time trial over a similar distance last week at the Amgen Tour of California. "I left everything on the course so I can't say I have any regrets," van Garderen said. "But six seconds is a tough pill to swallow. It would have been easier to get second place by 40 seconds. When it's six seconds, you go back and think about where you could have gone better here or there, or taken a corner differently." Racing in front of several family members and close to his home in Asheville, N.C., Bookwalter said he was also encouraged by his result. "Third place is nice and it's nice to get on the podium," he said. "But I'm not going to stop here. I'm going to try to keep working to get that jersey." Monday, van Garderen and Bookwalter will be joined by teammate George Hincapie for the 185 km U.S. national road championship race.

Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War
The deadliest weapon of the Civil War was one that nobody could see, killing two soldiers for every one felled by gunfire. The extraordinary casualties caused by that invisible killer, disease; the conventional weapons used to create slaughter on an unprecedented scale; horrific injuries suffered on the battlefield; and the heroic efforts of medical personnel to treat soldiers on both sides are described in detail in "To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War," a new exhibit runs through 2013 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield. To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War" opens about a month after the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, the first Civil War battle with massive casualties on a scale that indicated what the remaining years of the war would bring. Glenna Schroeder-Lein is the curator, and she worked closely with an exhibits team consisting of John Malinak, Michael Casey, Carla Smith, Katie Grant, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation, staff from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, and numerous community groups, institutions, and individuals to create the exhibit. The experiences of actual soldiers are prevalent throughout the exhibit, including quotes and photographs, lending a human touch to the horror of war. Some of the images come from original medical files and graphically depict the effects of deadly weapons and even deadlier germs on the bodies of Union and Confederate soldiers. Paid admission to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum is required to view the exhibit. Admission prices are $12 for adults, $9 for senior citizens, and $6 for children. A special admission rate of $5 is available to those who want to visit only the new exhibit. For more information, visit www.presidentlincoln.org.

"Primp Your Pit (bull)"
With 8 million homeless pets entering U.S. shelters every year, the Animal Protective League is helping to solve the problem with its "Primp Your Pit (bull)" spay/neuter promotion sponsored by PetSmart Charities®.

The American Veterinary Medical Association endorses spaying and neutering puppies as young as eight to 10 weeks old, and research shows that the procedure can improve the behavior and health of the pet, including reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections. In an effort to prevent unwanted litters of pit bulls, this special rate during the "Primp Your Pit (bull)" event applies to all residents of Springfield and surrounding areas. Pit bull parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the "Primp Your Pit (bull)" promotion when they schedule their appointment. The promotion is based on availability.

Gettysburg Address goes on display
One of the most famous documents in United States history goes back on display at 9 a.m. on Friday, June 1 through 5 p.m. Tuesday, September 4 in the Treasures Gallery at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield. Paid Museum admission is required to view the document. The handwritten manuscript of the Gettysburg Address was last publicly displayed at the Museum during Lincoln's Birthday observances February 9 – 13, 2012. There are five original handwritten versions of the Gettysburg Address. Two incomplete ones are in the Library of Congress, a finished one is at Cornell University, and the only one he signed and dated is in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's copy, written at the request of Edward Everett, the main speaker on November 19, 1863 at the Gettysburg Cemetery dedication, came to the State of Illinois in 1944 thanks to the contributions of pennies by Illinois schoolchildren plus a donation by department store magnate Marshall Field III. Illinois's copy contains the two famous additional words "under God" that Lincoln had not included in his two original draft copies. Displayed nearby will be an original 1880 letter written by Thomas Edison, never before shown, in which the famed inventor praises Lincoln's greatness. Beginning on September 5, a signed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation will go on display through January 2013. This display will mark the 150th anniversary of the presidential order that freed all slaves in rebel-held territory. The Gettysburg Address and Emancipation Proclamation are part of the 52,000-item Lincoln Collection at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Pieces from the collection are displayed on a rotating basis in the Museum's Treasures Gallery, and range from the earliest known document written by Lincoln to items belonging to his wife and children. For more information, visit www.presidentlincoln.org.

The Muni Presents Disney's Beauty & The Beast
After a handsome but conceited prince treats a beggar woman poorly, the woman transforms into a beautiful enchantress and curses the prince to live as a hideous beast. Further, the prince's staff is all transformed into objects to do with their profession. The prince is given a magical mirror to view the outside world. To break the spell, he needs to learn to love a person for who they are, and get her to love him before a magical rose loses its petals. Meanwhile in a nearby village, a beautiful young bookworm (Belle) feels lonely and out of place. She lives with her eccentric but kind father, Maurice. Soon, Maurice goes off to compete at an inventors' fair but gets lost in the woods and ends up a prisoner at the beast's castle. Belle eventually finds the castle and makes a deal with the beast to let her father go in return for her staying there with the beast. As the beast's inner kindness slowly reveals itself, Belle grows to be in love with him. However, a jilted, self-centered and overly-masculine suitor from Belle's village, Gaston, takes a posse to 'save' her from the beast. Gaston ends up stabbing the beast. Luckily, when Belle rushes to the beast and expresses her love for him, he comes back to life again as a handsome prince. For ticket information please go to www.themuni.org.

I bought one from toHold on etsy. It's really pretty and easy to care for. (http://holidayhouserules.typepad.com/house_rules/2011/04/terrarium.html)
I made a real terrarium for right by my window and one using faux succulents for the back of my loft where there isnt much sun. Check them out here:
Also, Rolling Greens in Culver City has a workshop area where you can make your own for a fairly reasonable price.
They're so beautiful when they're new!
The trick is choosing plants that stay small without too much fuss, which is why I like the idea of the moss terrarium.
For some color, I suggest a miniature sinningia - stays under 4 inches, and will bloom perpetually. Sooo cute!
Agree with everything Pat has to say.
Mini sinningias are too often overlooked when choosing suitable -maintainable- plant material for a terrarium.
Tillandsias, while they look great, are probably one of the worst choices.
i have a terrarium that had moss and succulents. i am worried about keeping the moss wet enough and drowning the succulents or watering the succulents only 1x month as with my other ones and drying out the moss. Are these two things meant to live together in a terrarium?
Where does one find the right plants for making a terrarium or other teensy garden? Or even a list of good plants to use?
Any mention of terrariums reminds me of an old Doonesbury cartoon from the early '80s: Zonker was babysitting someone's terrarium and he named it E.T. - Extra Terrarium.
checkout our terrariums available in the boston area, www.lynzariums.blogspot.com
I've got a tutorial for air plant terrariums on my blog. Air plants work great for terrariums
ferns! why didn't I think of that. some moss and ferns will like the warm wet life in my covered terrariums.
I just got a little glass church shaped terrarium as a condolence gift after a family members funeral. I added some tiny animal figurines to cute it up a little.
I have been researching care and ideas for it. Perfect timing!
One source for plants -
robsviolets.com has an entire section devoted to plants that work well in terrariums - that is, they are slow growing, stay relatively small and thrive in enclosed humid conditions.
Air plants (tillandsias) need lots of air movement, or else they rot at the base, and are a really poor choice for terrariums.
How groovy!
oh, I should add, air plants worked really well for the terrariums I used which were with some glass globes from CB2. Air plants and succulents should not be placed in closed terrariums. These plants do not like a lot of moisture and need to breath!
We featured terrariums on our site too! http://blog.17thandriggs.com/2011/04/trendy-tuesdays-not-so-secret-gardens/
Here is a picture of what i make: https://picasaweb.google.com/corgimas/Bottle#5551239914117907890
5 gallon bottles....
I get all of my plants from Logees in Danielson Conn
and i when setting up my bottles they are planted through the neck- no seeds here!
and yes: tillys need more air circulation then what a container can provide....
remember to keep any planting you do out of direct sun!!!!!!
I'm making moss terrariums for my Woodlands themed wedding in Sept. I got the largest apothecary jars I could find (nice ones from www.save-on-crafts.com) and bought a bunch of diff kind of moss (www.teresasplants.com OMG she was so helpful). I'm putting teeny tiny rubber animals, clay mushrooms or found funky rocks in them to make each a lil diff. The biggest expense was the jar, but I think my centerpieces will be gorgeous and whimsical :)
Love the desert terrarium with white sand. I have to do one like that. I made one with pinto beans that you can see here: http://www.whartoninteriors.com/blog-0/bid/126745/Design-your-own-terrarium
A great source for terrarium plants is WWW.ENVIROCAKES.COM. They offer a 6 or 10 pack and you even get to pick which plant varieties you want. I was concerned about how they might look once they got to me but they were in really good condition. I bought a container from HomeGoods and my terrarium looks amazing and is really thriving. Very fun project!!
a great place online to buy all your terrarium accessories and plants

Finnair has teamed up with Marimekko
Finnair and the Finnish design house Marimekko have teamed up to enhance the Finnair air travel experience with a new design partnership.
In spring 2013 all Finnair aircraft will carry the Marimekko for Finnair collection of textiles and tableware, featuring Marimekko's classic patterns.
The Marimekko for Finnair collection is specially designed to add a light and fresh visual dimension to the on-board experience, while also reducing aircraft weight.
Finnair will bring the textiles and tableware designed by Marimekko onto its aircraft starting 15 May. As an emblem of the cooperation, a Finnair Airbus 340 painted in Marimekko's Unikko print will fly from Finnair's Helsinki hub to the airline's 13 Asian destinations and New York.

The collection
The fresh and harmonious designs of the Marimekko for Finnair collection of tableware and textiles are designed to enhance our comfortable cabins and to make your journey even more peaceful. The Business Class tableware is made of light porcelain especially suitable for use in aircraft.
The patterns

Board seeks answers about cycling event
The UCI World Road Cycling Championships will take place in the Richmond region three years from this week, but Henrico County officials need more information before formally committing to climb aboard for the ride.
Officials from Richmond 2015 – the nonprofit organization that will host the nine-day international event – asked Henrico's Board of Supervisors during a Sept. 11 work session to contribute a total of $1.4 million to the championships during the next three years. But supervisors and County Manager Virgil Hazelett, while pledging support for the event in general terms, bristled at the request because it lacked the specifics they were expecting.
"It is clear to me that we do not have sufficient information," Hazelett said. "My main concern is the cost. I don't have a comfort level yet in what's going to happen."
Richmond 2015 has established a budget of $21.4 million, its CEO, William Flohr, told the board. The City of Richmond has committed a $2 million contribution, he said, and presentations to officials in Hanover and Chesterfield counties followed the visit to Henrico. The organization arrived at its $1.4 million request of Henrico by following the regional funding format that was used for the Greater Richmond Convention Center, to which Richmond contributed 50 percent, Henrico 35 percent, Chesterfield 13 percent and Hanover 2 percent.
Board 'disappointed' in approach
But it was clear during last week's work session that at least some county officials felt slighted by the organization's decision to approach them now to assist with an event that may have quickly outgrown its original scope – and by the implication among some in the public that the county was not being a regional partner.
During a steady and pointed line of questioning, Brookland District Supervisor and board chairman Dick Glover expressed as much, suggesting that Richmond 2015 officials had dropped the ball by waiting more than 18 months to meet with the full Henrico board.
He implied that if the organization had involved Henrico from the beginning (in late 2010), the county would have felt more like a true partner and less like a bank account.
"I am very disappointed that this is almost two years after [the process began] that the Board of Supervisors of Henrico County has been approached," Glover said. "I feel like you've left us out of the picture, and now you're coming to us with not enough information."
Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson was similarly unimpressed.
"You came to us and gave us nothing today," Nelson told the organization's contingent. "I think it's a healthy promotion for our region, but you're asking us to spend a million and a half dollars that are not in our budget. We each have capital improvement projects [awaiting funding] in our districts, and I've got people in my district ready to shoot me because we don't have a new school yet."
Nelson also suggested that if the county were to donate the requested $1.4 million, it should receive more than just one of the 12 races scheduled for the nine-day event – particularly if Richmond's $2 million donation is enough to earn it nine races. (Hanover and Chesterfield also would receive one race each by contributing to the event, Richmond 2015 organizers said.)
Flohr, who joined Richmond 2015 in April, conceded that the organization might have done some things differently before his arrival, in retrospect.
"It perhaps should have been a regional effort," he said, "and we're trying to make it into a regional effort now."
Economic impact debated
Henrico stands to realize a $42 million economic benefit from the event, Flohr said; some 450,000 spectators are expected to attend the races. Flohr told the board that Henrico would receive an additional $832,000 in hotel and lodging taxes during the nine-day period, but Hazelett questioned his math, saying that the county typically receives about that much during the month of September, when the occupancy rate is about 60 percent.
"We can't double that [amount] in nine days with only 40 percent vacancy available," Hazelett said.
The race proposed for Henrico is the initial time trial for men and women, which might begin in Short Pump and travel east to its conclusion in the city. That race would be televised live on a national network, Flohr said. But though Henrico would receive commercials during the broadcast and the opportunity for other exposure, Flohr could provide no specific details. The organization must purchase TV time from a network and has not yet completed the negotiation process, he said.
Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O'Bannon told Flohr that the board would need to see a specific list of the benefits it would receive for a $1.4 million donation before determining how to proceed.
Hazelett expressed serious concerns about the costs associated with heavy police and security needed to protect the 1,000 cyclists – some of whom will represent nations with volatile political climates – as well as spectators and citizens.
Those costs, combined with shutting down more than 60 intersections for the race, could total nearly $500,000, Hazelett said – money that he said should be deducted from any donation Henrico makes.
To date, Richmond 2015 has financial commitments from five corporate partners totaling more than $2 million, but Flohr declined to name those companies. He promised Hazelett and the board that he would have specific details and answers to their questions by the first week of October, however.
The UCI event, which began in 1927 and has been held annually since (except for a seven-year period during World War II), will be held in The Netherlands this year, Italy next year and Spain in 2014. The United States has hosted it only once, in Colorado Springs in 1986.
