Bundle of Large Tags

Hey guys. Today is the last post of 2017 and what a wild ride this year has been!

I mentioned in Tuesday's blog that I had made quite a few Christmas gift tags this year so I wanted to share the rest of them with you today. I have quite a few of them so I hope you like them.

I forgot to mention in Tuesday's post but each tag is backed with a piece of coordinating, solid colored cardstock (because the markers I used for coloring bled through to the back of the tag) and stamped with 'To' and 'From'. Also, a big plus is that I was able to use up a couple of spools of bakers twine that I have had in my stash for quite a while, though you probably wouldn't be able to tell if you looked at all that I have left.

Final question guys- What are you doing for New Years?

-I will most likely do the same thing that I did last year, which is to stay home and watch a movie and then watch the ball drop somewhere on TV. Nothing too exciting here I'm afraid. Hopefully, you all have better plans than I do. 

Bundle of Small Tags

Good morning my friends, I hope that you had a very Merry Christmas. I had a pretty low key Christmas this year since both my mom and I have been sick and we have not had much time to buy gifts and decorate the tree. We ultimately decided to postpone Christmas until we are feeling better and then we can do something extra special.

Early on in the month I made quite a few gift tags so that I could use them on my gifts that I was giving this month. I made quite a few so I am going to split them up and show you some today and the rest on Friday.

For today I am going to start off small, with the smaller sized tags. I used a lot of different stamps and inks, and I hand colored quite a few of them. Some I even jazzed up with a little bit of glitter.

Let me know which tag is your favorite of this set.

What is your best holiday memory?

-When I was young I used to love when Santa (aka my parents) would do a treasure hunt on Christmas morning. Often times it was done because the present was to big to wrap, but to me it was an added adventure. I would unwrap one of my gifts and all the box would contain was a piece of paper with either directions or a riddle that lead to another place in the house. There I would find another note and then another until finally waiting at the end (usually in the basement) would be an awesome present. Like the year that I got the McDonald's drive up window or the year I got the Fisher-Price Car to drive around in. It is funny, but now that I am older, the hunt is what I remember more than the gifts waiting at the end.
