Just trying to finish things up around here... wrapping gifts and also cleaning the house since we'll have my family here on Christmas Day. The grocery store was mayhem today, as was Target's parking lot, but thankfully most people were smiling. Love people that are smiling. ;-)
Making gift tags is about as crafty as I could get for our gifts this year. I used the Nikki Sivils' Gingerbread Land collection for my letter stickers. I hand-cut my trees, stacked 2 of them on my hand-cut tag, machine-stitched it down the middle, then added a small folded piece of ribbon to the top & adhered it with a staple...
... same process here, only this time I used a large snowflake punch & stacked 2 of those...
Notice how lazy I am at changing the thread on the sewing machine? They all got green thread. LOL
Also, just wanted to share this version of Ave Maria that put tears in my eyes the first time I heard it the other day. What doesn't put tears in my eyes these days? I have issues... like hormonal... LOL
This is my last post for the week, so I'd just like to wish you all a very MERRY Christmas! Enjoy your time with family & friends this weekend & make sweet memories. And thank you SO much for always leaving such kind and funny comments. You all keep me smiling, for sure!
XOXO...
Those tags are ADORABLE!! And haven't heard that song... off to check it out!! Have a very Merry Christmas!! :):):):):):):):):)

Hey Deana, just up playing Santa Claus tonight - and using the new laptop that Santa has already brought - but Alison doesn't know about yet. Is that wrong?! HA!!
I hope you guys have a lovely Christmas. Take care.
