getting crafty again!
The old me is slowly returning.
I’ve spent a lot of time cleaning tonight, wrapping gifts, cooking (lots and lots of potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner) and most recently making gift tags.
You see, I have all of these bath salts I wanted to give as gifts for Christmas (and I have a ton more to make). I made them before the move and started putting them into smaller bottles tonight. I need to make so much more, and think I can do that on Thursday. This past weekend (in between concerts, video editing and sleeping) I came up with the idea to make gift tags. I got a super-cool stamp last month that has different sayings, several of which are “hand crafted” or “just for you, from…” kind of sayings. Very useful. I borrowed a tag punch from my mom, stamped the tags, added the holes (with a very nice tool from Martha Stewart called the “screw punch”) and I have these 5 tags in just a few minutes! In fact, it’s taken me longer to type this than it took to make the tags. Unfortunately for most people, I’ve already used the standard gift tags I got on clearance last year.
Fortunately for my blog readers, I had a camera on my desk and I took the photos:
My mom will be proud.
You know…you honestly amaze me with all you do! When do you sleep? I just totally missed out on the craft gene. I cant make anything that I could give as gifts.
Sounds like you’re getting settled into the house and back into routines.
Wait til you see my bottles of bath salts in all of their glory. I need to take a picture of those together this afternoon. The bottles are cute š
And in case you haven’t noticed…I don’t sleep. Ever.
Ohhh is that it? Lack of sleep? Boy does that explain a lot (giggle)
Yes post pics….please!
I have new ones on MySpace.
