So I am admitting this out loud. At our house the tree goes up on November 1st...but just lights. We decorate for Christmas on Thanksgiving. And the presents go under the tree on Dec 1st. Can you tell how long I LOVE to drag out Christmas?
So with that many days to look at presents I really love to have them wrapped up cute, and a tag is the perfect way to finish off a gift. I used these tags. And then stamps ind inkers.
How about a holiday layout?
Just a simple one. Add one of the tags that you made for your holiday gifts. Add a card, An envelope from this kit, and some felt buttons.
There are so many concerts and holiday events to attend this season. I just happen to be lucky enough that my children give me all of the opportunity that I need for holiday music. Here is my second oldest daughter playing the cello for the High School Choir concert. It was breathtaking. She gave up the cello a year ago and has not touched it in over 7 months. The director asked if she could accompany the piano for one of the songs, and she said "SURE" She then FINALLY picked the cello up 3 days before the concert and it was so beautiful I cried. You know what...here it is you can watch it :) It was taken with my husbands phone so it is not the best quality, but I will share anyway :) She is a freshman this year.
Jamie your layout is awesome!

Your daughter playing the cello is beautiful. Encourage her to pick that instrument back up. There are just NOT enough real musicians anymore!!! My hubby is a musician (electric bass) and leads our church worship band, the Music Minister is always looking for young people who play an instrument to come to the church and play, to get them the positive feedback they need to continue. Good job!
