Christmas Tags

So I can't just do things simply and buy name tags for Christmas gifts. It's just too generic! :) So here are some of my home-made name tags:



This one is for our neice Autumn (it's actually her birthday gift) and has Autumn spelled out in hot glue with sequence stuck on.



For my mother in-law, just two peices of paper and hot glue-gunned sequences.



My father-in law, using paper squares and stick-on letters

For our nephew, 2 peices of paper and a glitter glue border



My brother, round piece of paper and stick-on letters



For my mom (from my dad...decorated by me) paper snowman with the scarf made of extra coordinating wrapping paper, and buttons that spell out Lisa

Another one for my mom (again from my dad)



For our other nephew, using hot glue and sequence



My brother-in-law's (paper squares and stick-on letters)




And a few pictures of our FIRST tree!



All lit up!

The Start of Something New

We'll see how this goes. I think I'll be posting pictures and recipes or ideas and designs of things I want to make or have made. Since I don't have much elso to say, I'll end it, short and sweet, with this from Emily Dickinson:

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.


Could you imagine the change in the world if everyone lived by her words??
