Christmas in September - Free Printable -The Only Thing Better than Having you for a Mom

It is getting harder for me to post Christmas ideas here on Full of Great Ideas because my family has been known to visit my blog to see what I have been up to. Well, I hope my stern warnings a few weeks ago will be listened to, otherwise there will be no surprises on Christmas day.

I recently saw a wood plaque with the saying “The only thing better than having you for a Mom is my children having you for a Grandma.” I pinned it thinking I love the saying and could make something with vinyl cut with my Cricut. After I spent an hour trying to design it I grew more and more frustrated and thought there had to be a better (i.e. easier) way.

So I went back to my favorite program, Microsoft Publisher, to design the quote. Here is what I came up with.

This is a basic 8x10 file and each row of text is in its own text box, so they can be manipulated independently.  In case you are curious the following are the free fonts I used to make this:

• The only thing  - Alex Brush font
• Better than – Gabriola font
• Having you for a -Before the rain font
• Mom- JT Hidden Vines font
•  Is out children-Mutlu font
•  Having you for a- Janda Elegant Handwriting font
• Grandma- JT Hidden Vines font

I thought I would give you all an early Christmas gift too and offer this as a free download. I have created the file for Grandma, Oma, and Nanna (Update I have added: Nonni, Nonna, GiGi, Yia Yia, Grammy, Gram, Yani, Mimi, Nema, Nanny, Nana, Nonna, Meme, Queenie.....the list is now really long ).  

To download the file, first leave me a comment (not required but I love the feedback),  right click on the image you like and open in a new window. Once open, right click on it again and select ‘Save as’. Save it to a place you will remember. Then send the JPEG to your favorite photo printer! As my kids say...Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. I have uploaded a high resolution image that is large enough to be printed as an 8x10. It might print clearly as a larger image but I have not tested it out.

I hate saying it, but please use this only for personal use. I don’t sell the items I make (this would probably cost $15ish on Etsy) but that doesn’t mean I want someone else to sell it either :)

So here are all the images you can download.Here is the one for Grandmas:

The list of images was getting really long, so I truncated the post. So please Click ' Read more' below to see the rest of the images you can download.
For all you Dutch (like me) and German kids out there, here is an Oma one:

And finally the Nanna image.

I hope some of you can save a few dollars this Christmas with this frugal gift idea. I honestly believe you could print and frame this for around $10. Really you could do it for $3 if you buy a Dollar Store frame and spend $2 to print it. Not a bad price for a cute Christmas gift.

Let me know what you think,
