2013 Christmas Tags distributed and great deal on pearlized cardstock on Cyber Monday - today!!!!

Hello Friends,
Well I did it!  The first annual "gift of tags" to each of my family members went off with a wonderful response!!!  I think next year I will actually have to make more for some of the extended family members too!

This year I created 14 different sets of tags though a couple sets did not get photographed and posted to my blog.   I then filled a clear cello bag with one of each type of tag for each of my 6 siblings as well as my parents which I distributed at our family Thanksgiving get together.  I thought you might like to see a picture of all of the tags that were placed in the bags this year:


I sure have enjoyed creating tags for my family!  It was a gift that was very much appreciated by everyone which really warmed my heart!  And it was a lovely way to give thanks to all of my family who have supported Tim and I through some very tough times the past couple years.  What a true blessing our family and friends are - I am so very grateful!

I am now working on some tag gifts for my girlfriends that will be coming over for a cookie exchange party during December.  I hope to give them a few each too to use for their Christmas gifts this year.  So stay tuned for a few more posts with Christmas tags in them! LOL!

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful Holiday season!  I know I am.....the outside lights are up thanks to some lovely help from my sister and niece on the day after Thanksgiving and I am starting work on the inside of my home now.

  6. They are just lovely! So many different styles too! I love the idea of gifting them! My Jane Austen Group is holding the annual Christmas get together Saturday, so I think I will make some tags too! Thanks for the idea! My friends are from Poland so we will be making perogis together. It is always fun and mine always turn out funny looking, but tasty!

  13. I love your idea of giving tags as Thanksgiving gifts. And, all of your designs are wonderful. I think my favorite is the WM one with the house--didn't Claire highlight that one, too? I am right now making tag sets for teacher gifts. They can be quite addicting, I am finding.
