This weekend when Rhys and I went to the malls I couldn’t get over the change in the air even over a few days. December is here and it’s amazing how much people are preparing for the season! I do have to confess something to you. I’m done 99% of my Christmas shopping... yes I am one of those early season shoppers... the kind that shops all year round for the best prices (it’s a sad sad world sometimes). So this weekend after I wrapped about half of my presents I realized that I didn’t have any name tags yet!
This year I didn’t want the conventional name tags, I wanted something special... something that when the gift was given would give a warm and fuzzy (a term my high school teacher used that stuck with me the rest of my life!). So I decided I could make my own tags! With pictures that remind that person of the good times we’ve had (giving them... yes you guessed it! A warm and fuzzy too!).
I simply purchased some card stock from Michaels, and printed some prints of black and white photos from Wal-Mart for a total price of 7.80 cents! (this gave me way to many picture! What to do with all the spares?)
I simply cut out a tag like shape:
Then applied some glue (stick form works the best.... plus you can relive that childhood innocence again!) and stick those pictures on the tags any which way you want!
For this amazing final touch look that simply does send a warm feeling right to the core! In my family Christmas was as much about the wrapping and the anticipation as it was about opening the gift... let’s keep the spirit of friendship and hope alive this holiday season!
