December 2009

I have moved my posts from an old blog to this one and I have moved one month at a time.....I have been blogging far too long to post each one on a separate day. Enjoy the below post for the month mentioned in the tag line.

Nope, this is for me.....to you, the gift of a last minute idea.... and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.

Use your stash tags

So I missed getting a post out yesterday because I was working on making some custom tags for my gifts for Christmas this year.  You get TWO today..yay.  I will warn you right now we do NOT have a lot of this material in the store available for sale...something similar yes, but the EXACT item...NO!

I used leftovers and scraps on the whole thing...what a wonderful way to use up your stuff.....to make room for NEW goodies!!!

Merry Christmas all shiny and bright

This one was hard to photograph so forgive me.  It is sunny here and the papers are MirriCard, so shiny and sunny make for a horrible glare.
