This is what my kids and I did for Father's Day gifts for Dad and Grandpa's.
I found the jars at Hobby Lobby for 50% off and I used the vintage labels again from this website. I used a 2 1/2" punch to cut the labels out. It cut them off a little but they fit the jars perfect.
Jar #1-Good and Plenties- You deserve "Good & Plenty" hugs and kisses!
Jar #2-Pistacios- We're "Nuts" about you!
Jar #3-cash-Dad's secret "stash"
Jar #4-Reese's Pieces-We love you to "Pieces"
Jar #5-Cinnamon Bears(I wanted to cover these in chocolate but ran out of time)-You're our "Beary" favorite! Happy Father's Day!

Girls Camp goodies!
We just finished a super fun and spiritual week at Girls Camp. The Lord loves Girls Camp!!! Our leaders are amazing and so inspired!
This year the theme was Mission Possible. Each ward was assigned a country. We were given Ukraine. They did a really cool thing where we made videos before camp to send to the Young Women in whatever country we were assigned (they chose countries where people had ties to the people there) and in return they sent us a video. Each country talked about what it was like to be a youth where they are growing up. They showed us all the videos at camp and it was so awesome to see what sacrifices some of the youth make to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
We all decorated our camp sites with our country flags and colors. In the above picture you will see that we used lots of eggs to decorate with. One of the traditions in Ukraine is called Pysanky where they decorate eggs and keep them for years in their homes as protection from evil. They also will exchange them with friends to celebrate Easter. We thought this would be a fun thing to have the girls do as part of our decorations and our secret sisters.
Sara came up with this fabulous tag.
Pillow Treat #2- Found this tag here on Marci Coombs' website. Have I mentioned how awesome and talented she is?
Pillow Treat #3- This was also on Marci Coombs. She is now offering hers as a free download but at the time we needed it we had to create our own version. Her's is much cuter!
Pillow Treat #4 We found this idea here at CdotLove Design. Her version is available on Etsy. We didn't want to pay so we created our own version which is not as cute as hers.
They got this final treat on Saturday before packing up and leaving. This was originally from Marci Coombs as well. We had to create our own version but she now has it available for a free download. She just asks that you follow her before downloading.
We gave these to the Stake YW leaders as a thank you.
We gave these to the amazing cooks and camp certification people.
I can't get enough of these cute girls. I had such a wonderful time with them. So many fun memories!
This was right after a really amazing object lesson/obstacle course involving mud.
I got to go on the hike with these beauties. What a trip they are! We found wild onions growing on our path and they couldn't stop eating them!

As a ward we were asked to perform small acts of service anonymously and this is what we decided to do. We filled lots of plastic Easter eggs with treats and threw them in other wards tents and camps. We left this fun sign for them too!
We decided it would be fun to give a handout to each of our YW every night of camp to help inspire them for the next day. We had a hard time narrowing them down so we gave them this blow dryer on the Sunday before to help them with their packing. ;)
We found the tag here at All the Quiet Things
We gave them the 7-UP to enjoy with their packed lunches on the way to camp.
We found this cute tag at A Little Crafting. The original idea was from Marci Coombs who created a Back to School one which will be fun to use also.
Pillow Treat #1- We wanted to do something that went along with our Mission Possible Theme. We ordered mustache sunglasses, finger tattoos, and mustache whistles.Sara came up with this fabulous tag.

Coach Appreciation gifts
We did these for Ethan's soccer coaches.
I got the idea from this website. To go along with the "cool" theme we included sparkling "ice" lemonades, "cool" ranch Doritos, and Dentyne "ice" gum.
We also added a "Cold" Stone Gift card.

Graduation gifts
Sara and I made these for some of our YW who are graduating this year.
We found the jars at Hobby Lobby and used these labels/tags from here.
Congratulations "smartie" pants. Your hard work finally "paid" off!
I found these cute lightbulb bottles at Hobby Lobby too! Jared and I made this for Kelton. I used another vintage label from this website.

Teacher thank you's
I decided last minute to do a quick thank you for the teachers on the last day of school. I found this tag here. I also love the tator tots and jello website.
She included a Jamba Juice gift card which is super cute but since we have so many teachers and I just did a gift card a couple weeks ago we decided to include a few single serving drink mixes and candy in each mason cup.

Visiting Teaching handouts
So you probably know about these handouts but I got so excited this month when googling ideas for simple visiting teaching ideas. To find out more info about visiting teaching click here. So I like to bring a treat to each of the ladies I visit teach each month but I didn't have a lot of time this month so I was excited when I found a few websites that create tags that go with the lesson of that month. This is especially wonderful when you only have time to drop something off. Awesome and thank you people!
I found this tag at Pink Polka Dot Creations. Click here to find more of her ideas.
I also found this lesson from the idea door. Click here for her website. I attached this to the back of the tag.
This was for another month. This is from Marci Coombs' website which is one of my favorites. Click here to be directed to her amazing website.
This is also from Marci Coombs! See she is super awesome and creative!
Thank you amazing bloggers who make my life more simple and fun! I appreciate all the time you take to do these for us!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts
This is what we did for Ethan's Teacher Appreciation gifts this year.
I found the cute tags here at Skip to My Lou. She also has one for a guy teacher. Love her blog!
We attached the gift card to some Raspberry Brownie Bites. Here's the recipe:
Bake your favorite brownies in a small muffin/tart pan for 10-13 minutes. Once their cooled you take a melon baller and press a dent into each of them. Then in a large bowl melt 1 cup of white chocolate melts in the microwave, then add 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 8 oz. thing of cool whip, and a jar of marshmellow cream and mix together. Place the mixture in a piping bag with Wilton Tip 1M and pipe a little on each brownie. Then top with a raspberry. *I found these purple boxes at Wal-Mart after Easter.
I only had 3 purple boxes and Ethan has 4 helpers this year so I used a plain box too.
We did the same for Wyatt's teacher but used different containers. I found these at Hobby Lobby and used my big cellophane bags (12X24) to put them in. This is where I ordered my bags if your interested. They were wonderful to work with.
I loved how well this Sweet CeCe's gift card worked with this tag!
