Deck the Halls With Handmade Cards 3 EASY IDEAS YOU CAN MAKE WITH KIDS!

Sending Christmas cards is a great way to tell people you’re thinking of them during the holiday season. However, like everything lately, buying enough Christmas cards for your loved ones is expensive. Store-bought cards can also feel too stiff and formal for our friends and family. That’s why you should consider making Christmas cards this holiday season! It is more cost-effective and a great way to give your cards a personal touch that lets friends and family know you care. The best part is that making holiday cards doesn’t have to be laborious or stressful — it’s quick, easy, and fun!

strips of the washi tape, starting with a longer piece (about 2—3 inches), and place it horizontally across the card near the bottom. Then, build upward using gradually smaller pieces of tape to make a triangle — and that’s it! You’ve successfully created a washi tape tree! You can also draw a tree stump under the longest strip or a star on top. Handprint Cards This Christmas card variation is a favorite for kids to make and family members to receive. Have your child place their hand on the blank card stock and trace their hand with a pencil. Then, cut out the shape of their hand using scissors. Finally, with the cut-out hand facing down (fingers to the ground), have your child decorate it as if it were a tree, drawing ornaments, lights, candy canes, or other decorations. Pipe Cleaner Cards For this card, you need green pipe cleaners and gold stars (like the ones you’d earn in school). Simply twist a pipe cleaner into a tree shape using a zig-zag pattern to form the widest branches at the bottom to the smallest boughs at the top. Glue the pipe cleaner to the card. Finish with a gold star as a tree topper!

WHEN ROAD TRIPS GO WRONG What to Keep in Mind When Traveling Out of State

This is it — the time you’ve been waiting for. You planned and packed, and it’s time to set out with your family on that long-awaited road trip. Unfortunately, as we all know, sometimes the road trip you’ve been looking forward to can take a left turn when an unexpected accident happens. An accident that occurs at any time is not ideal. But if you’re in an accident on the road while out of state, you should be aware of a few things.

the time of the accident. Your rights to compensation or damages still continue, whether your accident is within or outside the state where you live. In general, when determining the legal jurisdiction of your accident, you will bring suit in the state where the accident occurred or where the driver who is at fault lives. Of course, some situations may involve multiple drivers, all living in various states. In that case, a lawsuit can be brought in any of the states of residence involved. Another factor to remember is jurisdiction involving an accident with a semi-truck or tractor-trailer. In those cases, you can sue in the state where the company that owns the truck is incorporated or does most of its business.

In most cases, you can’t sue within the state where you live unless the defendant also lives there. The reason is that the lawsuit needs to be governed in the state where the accident occurred. One thing to keep in mind is that if you carry auto insurance in your state of residence, you are insured nationwide. That’s because almost all car insurance policies sold in the United States provide you and your family coverage no matter which state you’re in during an accident.
