christmas tags...

i went to hobby lobby yesterday.  i swear...not even halloween and it looks like someone threw up christmas in there!  and i know it's been like that for weeks already!  crazy.  sherri hosts an annual christmas tag swap.  it's fun seeing all the different ways people make gift tags.  and apparently i'm one of the few that doesn't use them.  i like to keep them while almost everyone else actually puts them on gifts.  my theme was christmas trees.  this is what i made.  i think i'm going to make more, in a smaller version, and actually use them this year!

hello spring...

i love that as i'm writing this blog post, it's 6pm and the sun is just beginning to set. and when i get to work in the morning (in about 12 1/2 hours), the sun will just be coming up. know what that means? spring is coming!! this card fits into the theme of spring. i made a dozen of these for someone at work (for her card club, isn't that a hoot?)
