Holiday Wine Tags

I've been such a busy bee lately and totally in the mood for this holiday season.

On a recent my mom and I crafted up these tags for wine bottles. You can also put them on bottles of olive oil.

We created a variety of them that I have in the Cards and Tags section of the shop now.

I'm also going to be including one as a gift with purchases over $20 from now till the new year.

Do you get snow for Christmas? I'm so hoping we do. Just a little. :)

Hot Cocoa Gift Packs

The kids will be getting out of school soon for their holiday vacation. Before they're off they like to give a little something special to their teachers and school bus drivers. I love this idea I found through Pintrest and have added my own little alterations to these Hot Cocoa Gift Pocket Cards.



We got carried away making them this past week and so they're are some available in the shop made up and ready to ship here. 

Due to the cost of shipping, you have your choice to receive them with or without the hot cocoa packet already in them.



I can't wait for the kids to share these with teachers, school bus drivers, and even their friends.

They're even great for a little something to share with your co-workers anytime of the year.

It's getting close to Christmas, now, are you ready?

Christmas Card Tag Gift Card Holders

I've been in a holly jolly mood this Christmas and I've been working on some new designs.
These are tag cards that I've added an extra piece to with tabs that you can slide a gift card inside.
There is still plenty of space to write on the inside  left flap of the card with your greetings and on the outside there is a place on many of them to write your "To and From".

They're great for those gift cards you're giving this season. They're designed so you can hang them on the tree, attach them to a gift, or just give them as a card.




I've already sold out of the red and green glittered ones and am working on getting some new ones made up again. I love the way these ice blue ones came out.





I'm really excited about how these have turned out.

Tell me, is your holiday shopping all done yet?
Are gift cards on your list for giving this year?

It's that time again of not knowing what to give the person who has everything or wanting to give something that is little, but goes a long way.

This week I've added several new designs to my coupon books for the holidays. Including a new designed of Kraft coupons and instead of using 24 lb paper for the coupons, I've replaced the coupons with card stock.

You now have the option right when ordering for blank coupons or to have them personalized. And as always I'm happy to personalize the front cover with the receiver's name.

Here are a few of the new designs that are now available in the shop.

This is the HO HO print Coupon Books that you can find here in the shop. 

These ones are Christmas Present themed which can also be personalized inside to work for those December birthdays. You can check them out here. 

This snowflake print is also available in black and white. Not only for Christmas, but may Valentine's in the red print and also those winter birthdays. What do you think? It's available here.

If you're looking to stick them in stockings or give them this Christmas be sure to order before December 18th!

Victoria Secret Inspired Lingerie Guest Book Album

This week's new design, you may have seen in the shop, but I don't think I've shared it with you all yet. This comes from a Victoria Secret inspired Bridal Shower request.

It's hard to see by the photo, the cover is using some new metallic cover stock I've recently added to my cover supplies. This one is plum purple. I've used some glitter embossed designer paper to accent the name card and the top of the lingerie.

With the evenings getting darker here in the fall I have to rely more on the ceiling lightening in my basement studio rather than the sunlight from the windows. My photo box was packed away a few months ago in anticipation of selling our home-- of which still hasn't happened and we've seen some great houses with wonderful spaces for my new studio slip away because our house hasn't sold yet.

So I hope you'll bear with me through some of my dark photos right now as we hope and pray for someone to come buy our house and are able to transition to a new space.

Hopefully, this close up is a better photo. Can you see the shimmer of the metallic?

This guest book is made to order, so you get choice of cover color, and your inside page design.

You can order it here.

Next week is Thanksgiving. We're staying home and enjoying some good ole family time together for the day and some good food. My husband cooks a mean turkey dinner, if I do say myself. I, of course, am in charge of the dessert this year. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a pumpkin pie in our house.

Are you staying in this year or going out?

Either way, have a warm and happy gathering.
