Something a Little Different To Do With Granddaughters
It never ceases to amaze me the things that I stumble across on the Internet. But then, it’s not hard to amaze a pea-brained person like me.
Amy, who hails from Australia, is a graphic designer with great flair, creativity, and style. Mucho style — style so fresh, so modern, so appealing. Her site, Eat Drink Chic, is awash with chic-ness and eye candy. (I have as much style as the Gobi desert has water in July. . . .)
I saw a couple of things on her site that kicked my ‘grandma’ thinking into gear.
So here’s what came to mind. Amy has a free set of mini greeting cards and letter writing items and free gift tags. Assuming that you have granddaughters and that those granddaughters will be coming to your house for Thanksgiving dinner, I think it would be peachy keen to spend some time with your granddaughters making these delightful cards, envelopes, and gift tags. Both of you could make a set to keep for yourself and a set or two to give away to friends or other family members.
What if your granddaughters live far, far away? Well, you could make up these cards and tags and then send them to your granddaughters for their personal use. Maybe this would encourage them to write a letter back to you… You might include postage to make it even easier.
Or, YOU could use them to write to your far away grandchildren. I’m sure they would love getting a physical hold-in-your-hand-letter-in-the-mail from grandma.
You might also want to check out Free Printable Gift Tags for more tag ideas. And, oh my! Check out Tip Nut. (I had an anxiety attack from seeing all of the options on this site. I think I will go lay down now and put a cold washcloth over my eyes . . .)
This activity would be an inexpensive and easy way to keep busy (and have fun) on Thanksgiving Day with your granddaughters. And, low energy — since, if you’re like me, you’ll be more stuffed than the Thanksgiving turkey from all of your eating!
