Handmade Chritmas Gift Tags

Some of the Christmas gift tags I have been making this week.

I used original vintage Christmas postcards (early 1900s), scanned vintage postcards, rhinestones, ribbons, vintage lace, German die cuts, and vintage music sheets. The new papers and ribbons were:

~ May Arts Pinstripe Green/Red/White (wonderful ribbon!)

~ Deja Views Christmas Wishes Big Dots

~ Deja Views Geometric

~ Mistletoe Holly Leaf Foil

I will be listing these lovelies this week in my Etsy store.

I hope you have a great day!

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such kind words.

October Blog Give Away

Fall is here! I really enjoy the fall weather...walks in the afternoon to see all of the changing colors and fall/Halloween decorations for the homes. This is a time to take it slow and enjoy all sights and sounds of the changing season.

I believe it is never too early for start some planning for the Christmas holiday season. There are some already Christmas shopping. I am having a blog give away for October offering some wonderful pages of inspiration and ideas. Maybe a little planning now will allow you to enjoy the Christmas holiday season.

GOOD LUCK!

I haven't forgotten about an earlier post where I shared a photo of vintage finds. Some of these goodies will be in a November blog give away. I just haven't found all the items I am looking for this give away. I really want an ALL vintage blue theme for this offering. So please be patient with me while I search for new items!

Hope you have a wonderful week!
