Hello. How is your week going? Ours has been a nice, slow kind of week. Brent spent the weekend in Idaho doing a film shoot, so I spent the weekend feeding the cow (we’ve had a mouse move into our corn bags, eek!), stoking the fire, and introducing the kids to shrink-ie-dinks. Perfect for the rainy days we’ve had.
I decided recently that I should reorganize my entire wrapping and gift closet. You know, to be ready for a year of birthdays and happy occasions. It’s been a project. I’m hoping to share soon.
As part of my closet makeover, I’m printing sheets of labels for quick and pretty gift wrap. I often print on full sheets of labels (this

On a side note, I’m hoping to find a good place I can donate to the relief efforts in Haiti. I’ve been looking at this list. Does anyone have a charity they recommend?

Those are sooo adorable! Thank you for sharing!
I found this to be a helpful resource when deciding where to donate to the relief effors in Haiti – http://aidwatchers.com/2010/01/haiti-earthquake-help-navigating-complex-terrain-of-disaster-relief/
Love these labels! Thanks so much for sharing. ;)
As for donations, World Vision is a (local) company who has made it their mission to help those in need throughout the world. They are prepared and ready to assist in these types of situations. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone (they’re on that list you linked too as well).
http://www.ldsphilanthropies.org/ is a good one. 100% of your donation goes to humanitarian aid. Not very many non profit organizations can make that claim. Even the Red Cross has a huge overhead.
Love your blog!
cute labels!
I donate to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) – because I know 100% of my donation goes to relief work. Admin costs are covered by Methodist Churches.
oh thank you! they are lcute! I really love the hand drawn labels. thank you!
Donate to Haiti through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where 100% will go to the effort. Get a donations slip and under “other” write Haiti. The Church has sent out large amounts of aid already and are even recruiting Doctors to go…I hear at least two have signed up.
Joy in Hope (joyinhope.org) is doing amazing things! Check out the work they are doing. You can follow them on facebook.

I usually donate to CARE.
Your blog is one I like to read first in the morning–thanks for these labels. I wanted to make some and was going to color them with markers–this is so much better. I”ve used many of your ideas!
I donated to Haiti through LDS charities. Link is above. Ditto the comments about no overhead.
thanks, everyone, for the references! this has been super helpful for me.
Awesome labels! This will force me to fork out for printer ink. Love those envelopes too.
Yay, I love labels but I have little design talent. Thanks for sharing.

Americares and Doctors Without Borders were my choice.

Thank you for sharing these lovely labels!
You cant go wrong with donating to the Redross.org.
Love these – thanks!
I’m writing an eZine article for Ella PUblishing and would love to include one of these photos and a link to your blog for these labels. Would that be ok? Please email me with an answer!
Wow! What great labels! Thanks for sharing them!
Hey – When I came across this Printable I thought, “Wow wouldn’t it be a nice gift If I used these to make personalized Return Address Labels for my family”… You wouldn’t have any ideas on how to get these into Open Office/Word and then write in the blank spaces?? Or is there an easier way that I just don’t know about.
I’D APPRECIATE ANY IDEAS. :)
Hi Adriane,
Thanks for stopping by! We must think alike. I originally worked on making address-label size labels to make some as a gift for my SIL. But I did it in a page layout software. I know you can insert this as a picture in a Word document, but then the trick would be making sure it’s still sized right and getting a table over the pic. I’m not Word-savvy enough to know if I can do that. But I will think about learning to make an editable pdf. That might be the thing to do.
If you get this working in Word, I’d love to hear!

Thanks so much! Love that they fit on address labels. :) Kirsten
I stumbled across your blog yesterday – thanks Pinterest! – and fell in LOVE with all your happy mail ideas AND these labels. I put together four “quick” happy mail “packages” to mail out and bought Avery labels to use. Unfortunately, I can’t get these labels to print on them appropriately. I tried for about an hour on my Mac and then I switched to my Dad’s PC thinking it was a platform issue, but after an hour here, I still have nofavorable outcome. =(
I think the issue is that they’re PDFs and unless I shell out $100 for Adobe Acrobat, I can’t edit them to even add a margin to make sure they print on the label. So, next time, please offer an image as well! Because they WON’T import to MS Word as a picture if they’re in PDF form.
I would love to use these for our client choice pantry to mark re-packaged bulk foods for families in need. They are perfect. If you are still looking for a donation outlet. We would love to have you on board as a partner donator for the hungry of Northwest Oklahoma. We are a non-profit offering a store like atmosphere promoting healthy choices. Clients take what they will make and choose what they will use in their own kitchens. Thanks for creating a great template! loavesandfishesnwok.org Linda Executive Director
Thank you so much!
