Sorry for the delay in updating my blog. Steve and I went to Hawaii on a short vacation and it’s taken me over a week to get back into full swing.
The holidays are underway at my house. You know how Kristy Banks made me a mantel scarf for the Halloween season? Check out the one she sewed for Christmas:
Also I just purchased the painting of Mary and Joseph with a shepherd boy looking on to display on the mantel. Love the perspective of the child in this painting.
So look what I’ve been making today! Tags that double as ornaments:
My pal, Marci Leishman, hooked me on to the free artwork and the idea of tags and ornaments. Of course you need the Perfect Layers tool to create it. Check out how cute they look on presents:
You can go here for the the free artwork:

I promise to write again real soon! Hoping this is the most wonderful time of the year for you and you are taking time out for you! (Sage and I have been reading a Christmas story every night together.)
Love, Lisa
