Today we are sharing another gifty idea. This time a decorated gift bag with coordinating tag by Deb Saaranen.

Gift baskets are always a big hit year round, but at Christmas they come out in full force, and for good reason. Deb created a gift basket today with bird lovers in mind; however, the jars in this basket could be filled with whatever it is your gift recipient might appreciate. This is such a […]

Christmas tags are so much fun to make, so quick and easy, and you feel such a sense of accomplishment as you can crank so many out with such little efffort. Personally, I love to come up with one tag design and make dozens of them, or as many as I need, for the season. […]
