The Last Christmas Present...

Good Late Evening Internet Friends.

I had planned on getting to bed early this evening, however, remembered it is garbage day.   Getting the garbage out for me includes emptying and washing all trash/rubbish cans, vacuuming all floors and then washing them with the Swiffer so that I can throw out the cleaning pad (no sense in having a used cleaning pad sitting around), getting the recycling organized and finally washing the dog kennel and the dog blankets.

While the dog blankets were drying I finished threading loose ends into my son's teachers Christmas present:

TAH DAH.

Then I very carefully wrapped it in tissue paper and boxed it up and wrapped it.  But, it needed a tag.  Hmmmm, Christmas tags are all used up and at this hour of night even I am not digging out paper crafting supplies.  So, I used one of the trees from my Christmas card silhouettes and attached a bit of trim and twine and:

TAH DAH again!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Secret Santa Week!

It's Secret Santa Week this week at work. I somehow forgot to take a picture on Monday of the Christmas tin filled with Cherry Slice that I made for my Secret Santa!!  Today I have a wrapped gift (it is from The Body Shop), and my craft is the label kit that I got from Stampin' Up a while ago, but seemed too busy to get around to making the tags.

So, here is my present:

Hope she likes it!

Christmas Gift Tags

While wrapping presents the other evening I decided that I should have at least some home made gift tags to go on my purchased and home made Christmas presents.  However, it was 2235 hours and I was tired, so I thought about how I could make quick and easy tags.  A look in my cupboard found the Warmest of Wishes Stamp set from the Holiday Mini (one of the things I love about being a hobbyist is that I can get all of this stuff without having to host a party - heehehehehehee).  So I opened up the package, used garden green and stamped the image on a piece of whisper white card stock that I had scored at 2.5" with my Simply Scored tool.  I then used the label punch to punch these out being careful not to go through both layers at the edge, then used a piece of white bakers twine through the center to make the hanger.  I used the tree from the Jolly Bingo Bits set on the inside as none of my to and from labels fit inside this (hmmmmmm - might have to invest in some of these).  Now, what do these look like on the presents?   Well, unfortunately, I forgot to photo the tags on the presents prior to putting the presents in the box for the post (DOH!).  Hope this inspires your own creativity...
