Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas – it is certainly my favourite time of year. Sadly the decorations are all packed away now for another year. It is funny, but as soon as Christmas is over, I am usually energised to pack everything away and then the relaxing summer holiday period can begin!
We have a large number of Capricorns in our extended family so we are now focusing on all the birthdays we have in the coming weeks. Apparently “Capricorns are classy, practical, reliable and thoughtful. Powerful ambition combined with an excellent work ethic increase their likelihood of success.” I am not sure if I believe in astrology but no doubt my DH and Sarah would agree with these characteristics!
Sarah and I spent an enjoyable afternoon today playing with some supplies that we received from our newest sponsor, Cute Tape. We made up some gift tags and wrapping paper for the upcoming birthdays using some new stamps and Japanese Masking Tape.
I *heart* the Doily Stamp – I can see it will be getting lots of use. If you love Japanese Washi Tape, cute stamps, packaging supplies, and Japanese stationery items, check out Cute Tape.
Delightful as always! Happy New Year!! I made those key fob ribbon things – everyone loves them – so thank you!!
Lovely work, dear girls!! May your new year be full of creative so that you will enchant us always more and more!! Love!! Bela
Gorgeous wrapping, yes, we have those pesky December-January birthdays too, so i have to buy two lots of gifts for lots of family. Handy on the postage though, love Posie
That is some lovely wrapping! I am glad to hear you had a lovely Christmas 🙂
We have 3 birthdays in December and 2 in January in our immediate family – it really makes this time of year extremely busy. But also fun!
Since I saw the stamps on tags you make, I am saving stamps that are too nice to throw away. One day I will hope to make tags with them!
Good luck with all the birthdays!
Couldn’t agree more , being a Capricorn myself 🙂
OOo i just received a doily stamp very much like that one, it sure does look nice.
xx
You always have such wonderful ideas. Good luck with the present making.
Oooh yes…loving that doily stamp! Happy birthday to Sarah and “your DH” …hope they have a wonderful celebration! I have another “Christmas” to do yet, so my decorations are hanging around a bit longer yet 🙂
Yay for Capricorns! My sister is a true Capricorn so it’s fun to hear about those in your family too. Looks like you two are having fun making adorable packaging goodies! Time to pack my Christmas decorations away too. Happy New Year to you!
being born in January, I would agree with that description 😉
Love what you did with the doily stamp!
Happy Birthday to DH and Sarah, I am sure you will celebrate in style.
I wonder which new stamp has caught my eye…
Love Janelle xx
I love the doily stamp too – it is excellent. It reminds me of spirograph and looks great for birthdays but great for Christmas too! 🙂 Good choice! x
Very cute tags Lisa. And is it my imagination, or are those twine spools getting smaller LOL???
