Reicpe Cards and cute Tissue box cover

I just designed a set of three different tabbed recipe cards to have for the women to write down the recipes that they like when they come to the soup exchange for my neighborhood lunch bunch.  If you go to my visiting teaching surprise blog, you can get those and print them off for yourself.

Also, I made a cute little Halloween tissue box cover to set out. Ok, I am going to tell you one of my biggest pet peeves, and though it is probably not such a big deal, it is to me.  I would like to keep a box of tissues out in the family room, or kitchen for guests or my family to use, but the tissue boxes aren't the color of my house, or they are really ugly designs, so I don't set them out.  I know that is pretty petty, but everyone has a pet peeve and that one is one of mine.  It is minor in the grand scheme of things, but I was thinking about all these cute Halloween decorations and projects that I have been designing, and I thought why not design a template for a tissue box.  Well I realized why when I took apart the box... it was not a printable size, so I just decided to cover it instead.  If you go to my other blog, I have a tutorial of how I did it and it now sits proudly, filled with tissue, on my end table in my family room.... OUT IN CLEAR VIEW.  Why... because it is cute!  I am going to have to do this for all the seasons, and also cover one that matches the color scheme in my family room for off holiday times. 

What does this have to do with Visiting Teaching?  How cute would it be to cover a tissue box for a holiday or just with a cute scrapbook paper, and take it with you to visit someone who is sick, or one of your sister.  I am going to try to find the little handout that goes along with the tissue box, that was given to me once, that I thought was so cute.  If I can't find it, I will make one up and post it on my Visiting Teaching Surprise blog with the rest of the  photos and such of these two projects. Go to http://visitingteachingsurprise.blogspot.com to find both of these cute projects.
