Christmas Gift Tags



I made me some Christmas gift tags today!  They are out of the sample paint strips you get at paint stores.  The tag is a punch and the different size snowflakes are too.  So I just punched out and glued together with a glue stick.  I decorated both sides, but left enough room on at least one side to write  or stamp "To and From."  I have not decided what kind of ribbon or string to put in them yet.  I'm thinking some of the jute or cross-stitch floss.  Some pumpkin latte and a few girlfriends over ....this would be a fun night, don't you think?

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...
