Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas!

New Holiday Decor

Ok, so I have to admit that either time has gone by way too fast these past few weeks or I've just not been paying attention! It's hard to believe that Christmas is only TEN days away! (I can already see some late night wrapping in my future, but I really kind of like it to tell you the truth!)

If you are still getting some things together and need some extra accents for your Christmas table, party or anything in between, I've added THREE new holiday collections to the shop just for that! 

Hope you enjoy these and enjoy this last crazy week before the big day.

With bright and festive colors, the Very Merry Collection coordinates with the Santa Kit, 

the Advent Calendar, the Holiday Thank You Kit and the Holiday Planner.

The New Let It Snow Collection has a bit of a retro feel with the popular red and aqua color combination. 

This collection can easily be used for other winter parties you have in the near future as well! 

Finally, the Merry Little Collection has a modern twist with a traditional styling. 

Add some rustic touches or modern pops and you can create a look that is truly unique and not off the shelves. 

Workshop Holiday Fun!

There are so many fun things to share from The Workshop today, I'm not quite sure where to begin! 

Everyone is enjoying our 2011 Advent Calendar, as we look forward to something new every day!! We've also done some crafts, had our annual holiday breakfast, are enjoying our Elf, watched some holiday fun, did some shopping, visited Santa and plan on baking some goodies this weekend.  

The last week of school is coming up before the holidays, so I'm on the hunt for some fun teacher gifts and will be embellishing them with this fun little set available in the shop now! 

The set includes a 4" party circle (for flowers, plants, etc.), twelve 2" rounds (for hanging tags, cupcake toppers, embellishments on homemade items,etc.), treat bag toppers (for giving your homemade goodies as well!) and simple gift hanging tags. 

This set is done in two different designs & you can print as many as you need, so the uses are limitless! (I'm thinking the mail carrier, my hair stylist, the garbage man and others will be seeing this as well!)

If you need a last minute Letter to Santa or an easy to print Holiday Planner, check them out in the shop!

Have a wonderful weekend!

December Planners

I couldn't forget about posting the December planners today!
I've been needing these for awhile myself, so I'm so happy they are ready to use!
They coordinate with the other fun holiday items available in the shop, with more to be added shortly.

I have NOT posted these to the Scribd site yet, I'm still debating whether to continue these at that space or not. (Any thoughts or opinions??)

They are available on The CreativiDee website to print.

Here's to a fabulous holiday season for everyone! Wishing you peace, love and happy planning!

And... for the first time... I've joined a "linky-party" to share!

Holiday Spirit

So the holiday season is in full swing and I'm trying to switch from Thanksgiving decor to my Christmas craziness as soon as I can. (I overdo it a little at Christmas, but it's my favorite holiday, so I feel like I don't need any excuses not to.) Ok, who put their tree up already last weekend?? 


After having a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and a truly relaxing (much needed) long weekend, we are getting back into routine and trying to get everything pulled together to enjoy this year's holiday season. 

Speaking of pulling it all together, I've created a fun little Holiday Planner available in my Etsy shop. This planner includes a variety of different 8.5"x11" printable PDF sheets that will keep you organized and ready to sail through these next weeks of holiday fun! (Only 26 more days until Christmas! Yes, I did just go there!)

The packet includes 8.5"x11" pages for your Holiday Cards, Gift Ideas, a Gift Record (for Thank Yous) and three different styles of Wish Lists (one for writing and pasting photos, another for just making a list and a combo of the two - whichever you desire!) Check it out!

The best part is that you could include these as part of your Christmas/Holiday items and refer to them next year and so on, so you can see everything from what you gave everyone last year to what you received. Simply hole punch them or put them in protective sheets. Another idea is to laminate them and use a dry erase marker! So many options!   

There is also a NEW Letter to Santa Kit available in the shop that includes a write-in letter, an address label for you envelope and special tent cards to leave next to the cookies and milk (or whatever you leave Santa and his reindeer) on Christmas Eve! A sweet & fun package for wonderful memories to make. Enjoy! 

Giving Thanks.

When was the last time you truly took a deep breath and were thankful? Thankful for the little things, the big things, the not so great things, the things you've learned over the last year, not to mention the obvious family, friends and the everyday things that make our lives function. No matter your situation or if you are spiritual or not, there is something to be said for simply just saying thanks. 

I really love Thanksgiving. Granted, I may be a bit of a basket case trying to get that turkey out of the oven without it turning into a scene from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."(THANKFULLY, this has NOT happened to me.) However, this day always reminds me to slow down and remember to simply take a moment to be thankful. I love having my family gather in my home for Thanksgiving, with laughter and conversation added to a wonderful meal- how can one not be thankful fro such simple things? 

On that note, I'm leaving you this "Thanksgiving Eve" with the link to the free "I'm Thankful Cards." Take a moment before the holiday craziness starts and write down something you are thankful for.  Don't forget the fun freebies for the Kiddie Table, as well! If you still need some inspiration or help with some special touches to your Thanksgiving Meal, check out my Thanks & Giving Collection in the shop! Also, if you are going to dinner, I have a simple hostess set to make your gift uniquely yours to give. If you order by 5 pm tonight, you can still have these by tonight! 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

New Website!!

After many months of late nights, I have a happy heart to say that The CreativiDee Workshop website is officially online!! 

As stated on the homepage, there are three separate shops, all dedicated to each "life, home and balance" section. I hope you will find something on the website or shop that you will enjoy! 

You may also notice that there is also a new blog on the site. Don't worry- I will keep this one going (essentially with the exact same content) until I feel that I can determine which is a better platform for me. And yes, there will still be the monthly free printables, but those will be ONLY available on my website from now on- I will still let you know when they are ready with a link. I'm thinking of changing the designs a little and would love any other input as well, so feel free to let me know your thoughts! I love that! 

I am currently designing many more helpful organizing items, fabulous parties for everyone as well as some free holiday planners and fun that will be added to the shop shortly. (I'll let you know when they are ready!)

I'm so very thankful to be able to add this to my long list of blessings and adventures that have come my way thus far in my life! Thanks for going on this new adventure with me! We'll see where the road goes... 

Here's to a wonderful week ahead!

November Planners!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! I have NOT raided the kiddies candy tonight, as I've been

busy putting the finishing touches on your November planners and some other fun things. This is going to be the last month I am going to put these planners on Scribd. BIG changes in the works to make it easier for you to get your downloads quickly! 

If you haven't checked out my Etsy shop, take a moment to and see all of the fun things being added on a regular basis. The Thanksgiving Collection should be up tomorrow night for purchase.

In the meantime, grab some cider and enjoy your planners for November! 

October Planners....

Wow, it's October already! Time flies when you are having fun, right?

As usual, your free printable planners are up and ready to go!

This month they are based off the same theme as one of my Halloween printable parties-

Happy Haunting!

September!

As much as I love summer, I think I'm ready for fall. I love the colors, the changes in the trees and the cool crisp mornings.

As always, the September planners are ready to use!
Enjoy!

August Planners!

This summer has flown by faster than any others in my memory! I can't believe we're getting ready to head back to school in a few short weeks. So, I'm anxious to get my "stuff" done so I can enjoy the rest of summer with family activities or curl up with a book or magazine on the back patio with a lemonade! Download and print your August planners so you'll be ahead of the game.

Have a great August!
Denise

July!

I don't know about you, but I really really enjoy watching a great fireworks display. Is it because I feel like a kid again or is it just because it's just so much fun? Anyhow, it's July (already), and I hope you are enjoying your summer thus far.

Here are the July free planners, obviously I was thinking about those fireworks... Print and plan so you can enjoy those fireworks and continue sipping lemonade on the back porch!!




Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
D.

Summer!!

Is it really here?


Wonderful summer has started (or getting really close for most of us!) and as usual, your June collection of planners if ready for download.

Make everything easy and have more time to relax by taking some time to organize your month of June.

Cheers to a great summer!!

Glorious May!

Summer feels SO close and yet, since it's supposed to possibly snow tonight, so FAR FAR away. However, I hope the May issue of The Workshop's free printables make your waiting time cheery! In no time whatsoever, we will be enjoying the wonderfully long days of summer on the back patio (or wherever you like to hang!)

Thanks so incredibly much for all of the continued support as I mosey on this little journey inch by inch!
I really appreciate it!

HAPPY MAY!!

No Joking!

Wow! It's spring... and what a great way to get organized by printing your free April planners!

Life has been a bit crazy as always and I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm truly looking forward to spring and planning the veggie and flower garden with the kiddies and spending lots of quality time outdoors, one of my most favorite things to do.

I hope you enjoy these spring themed planners and I will have more fun news coming in the next couple of weeks which will include many more things than just my freebies! YAY! (FINALLY!)

...and it's March!

wow... February sure went by in a flash, but it truly didn't help that my poor family had a nasty virus for over three weeks. My hands are raw from scrubbing, cleaning and washing, but I think we've turned a corner as everyone is where they are supposed to be on a Monday for the first time in a LONG time. Thank goodness!

Needless to say, I wanted to get these up last week, but just didn't have the energy to sit in front of my computer (yes, the bug got me too!). Here are the free March printables. I hope everyone is healthy wherever you are!
Have a great March!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's hoping everyone is feeling a little love this weekend (and beyond!).

I have had a REALLY sick little girlie at home this week and so my website has once again been pushed back by (hopefully) only a few more days.

Because of that, I wanted to share at least SOMETHING by offering a MINI Valentine's Day Printable pack!!

The Mini-printable pack includes 2 bottle/napkin wraps (you can also wrap these around the candy heart boxes after trimming), two 2" party squares or circles-for cupcakes, lollipop wraps, favor tags, etc. - 2 mini-food labels (or labels for anything you want!) and 2 "Love Notes" for adding to lunch boxes, in drawers, on mirrors or other suitable places. Dress up your Valentine's Day and show your love! Print these on high quality photo paper, white card stock or plain paper, cut or punch and have fun! You are free to print as many as you need, but not to distribute, copy or send to others.

Happy Valentine's Day! Thanks for sharing the love!

Something sweet

I'm hoping everyone is staying warm and cozy today. However, if you're still chilly, maybe the newest FREE February planners will keep your mind off the mind numbing cold outside. Grab a cup of something warm and start organizing! Click here to get started: February 2011 Collection

Here's to February!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family making many memories. The days seemed to fly by here as we had an incredible Christmas and are looking forward to new adventures in 2011. We finally saw our first snow that stayed on the ground last Thursday, not quite enough to make a good snowman, but enough for some beautiful snow angels!

As promised, here is the January 2011 calendar, print it and use it as you like! (**See printing instructions below!)

Happy New Year!!

To remedy that, I have also included a simple JPEG image. To print the JPEG,  right click, hit "save image as" and save it somewhere on your computer, then print it using whatever software you choose. However, to truly get the best quality print, you will have to sign up on Scribd.com (you can even use your Facebook account!) to download the PDF and print on heavier quality paper.
