I finally joined pinterest.  Lotsa fun and a great way to have all my fave inspirational pics in one place.

I have only made three boards so far, but check it out.

::HANDMADE HOLIDAYS:::

Have you checked out all the great links for handmade holiday ideas?  I am sure pinterest has a ton of them.  I don't pin, so I wouldn't know.  I am still old school.

This year I am trying go handmade on the wrapping.  I also wanted to make some new ornaments for our tree as well as make some for family that will be visiting soon.

This year I am choosing to use brown kraft paper as the wrapping and embelish with some simple ribbon or yarn.  I have been finding some really cool tags to add to these gifts.  Here are a few links to some lovely tags that these bloggers have made as a freebie.

I have fallen in love with all the lovely clay tags I have seen on etsy.  So many pretty and unique tags.  My all time faves are from Jami over at http://www.freckledlaundry.com/
Check out this post and you will know what I mean.

If you would like to make some of your own this year as well pop on over to Craft Snob blog.  Allison of http://www.littleloveliesbyallison.com/ shares a step-by-step tutorial with pictures.

Until then, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!Pin It Now!
