Holiday Gift Tags

Who knew?

Shouldn't have been surprised.

This same technique for making holiday cards

(see previous posts here and here)

works for gift tags, too.

Not surprising, but it's easy to whip up quite a few gift tags

in a short time by cutting small green triangles and card stock,

and gluing one to the other.

I hope that all of you are at least this far in your

Christmas gift-giving! Gift tags are always the last thing I think of. Don't usually remember to buy any, so am left making my own when I finally get into the throes of gift-wrapping!

Holiday Quilters' Poem

‘Twas one holiday eve,

Through a window I spied

An ambitious quilter

Who was fit to be tied.

Stacked all around

Were her projects galore:

Wall hangings, quilts,

Hand-sewn stockings and more.

She rushed to and fro

Not a moment to spare,

As batting and fiberfill

Flew through the air.

Pinning and basting

And stitching so fast

She tied her knots tight,

So the presents would last.

When finally dawn

Showed its face in the east,

All the presents were finished

And all action had ceased.

I heard when she hollered

With a grin ear to ear,

“Have a wonderful holiday,

And a happy new year!”
