Jingled Nerves Poem - Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells - Free Christmas Handout

Who doesn't love the fun song "Jingle Bells, and who's nerves aren't frazzled every Christmas?  

Here is the perfect poem to give out with some yummy fudge.

  Whether you make the fudge yourself or buy it at the store, one thing is for sure!  Everyone will love your cute Christmas poem!





When I handed mine out I put my fudge in a 
cute box that I bought on Amazon.  I wrapped the fudge with plastic wrap to help keep it fresh.




I used this smaller version of the poem and 
folded it in half with the 
"Jingled Nerves" showing at the top.





I placed it on top of the box, wrapped the box with twine, and then added a jingle bell which I bought at the dollar store.  



I also attached a matching tag. Just cut out the tag and use a paper hole punch at the top.  


Everyone loved the gift!  I made them for a ladies' luncheon and everyone was thrilled with their gift.  It was so much fun to put together.

Fresh Lemonade Coconut Sugar Body Scrub With Free Printable


 Fresh Lemonade 

Coconut Sugar Body Scrub 

with Free Printable


For years I have loved making coconut sugar body scrub, and yes, I use it on my face!  This year I have decided to add some of my lemons from my backyard, and I have to say, "It is amazing!"  I like to think that my skin is getting natural vitamin C.


Recipe at the bottom.


To make this recipe I juiced two lemons.


Using a small grater I took the zest off of all of the lemons.  The zest is just the yellow part of the skin of the lemon.



I added the lemon juice and the zest to two cups of coconut oil.  Then I added four cups of sugar.  The ratio of sugar to coconut oil is 2 parts sugar to one part coconut oil, or 2:1.  Knowing this you can increase your batch to whatever size you need incase you are giving it as gifts.  You can also add about a teaspoon of flour to help keep it from separating, but this is optional.



Mix your sugar scrub well and then store it in a airtight container.  The container is the fun part, especially since it's a lemonade scrub.  There are so many options, especially at the dollar stores.  I found some cute mason jars at Walmart that included a cute lid with a straw so that it looks like a lemonade drink.  
My friends loved them and they have a useful container for when they are done.



Here is the free printable that you can use for your Lemonade Coconut Sugar Body Scrub

I also have this version of printable gift tags:


On some of mine I included a soft facial scrubby that I crocheted out of really soft yarn.



A few years ago I did a really easy pink lemonade sugar scrub that was even easier.  It also comes with gift tags.  Check it out!


I have other ideas for easy sugar scrubs.  Here is one that I made with an Alice in Wonderland theme.  Check it out!


It comes with the cute printables of the Cheshire cat that you see on the jar of the photo below.
