Valentine Creation ~

I was able to find a few minutes to create a little something for Valentines day. I am really hung up on hang tags, so here are a few that I made. I listed a few in my Etsy shop so come on over and check them out.

It is snowing here today...a very light airy snow, but don't let that fool you. We are under a winter storm warning and are supposed to receive from 6-10 inches of snow with blowing and drifting so I guess I will stay in for the rest of the day. I ran uptown this AM and the roads were already getting slick...snow wasn't supposed to start until 3 pm and it was snowing this morning at 10 am! Winter is here with a vengence. This poem describes Michigan to a T !

It's winter in Michigan,And the gentle breezes blow. Seventy miles an hour, At twenty-five below. Oh, how I love Michigan,When the snow's up to your butt. You take a breath of winter, And your nose gets frozen shut. Yes, the weather here is wonderful, So I guess I'll hang around. I could never leave Michigan,'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!

New Handmade Hang Tags

I just added a few more tags to my Etsy store yesterday. I am loving these two new stamped images and Christmas will be here before we know it. I can't believe it it October already. I usually have a lot of my Christmas shopping done by now and I don't have anything. I guess I better get busy. LOL Enjoy!

Victorian Christmas Ornament

I wish my camera had better close up features because you can't really tell how cute this tag is. I created this today using a free image from Dawn over at The Feathered Nest (http://the-feathered-nest.blogspot.com/) and I thought it turned out so cute. I can see several of these on a tree decorated in vintage style. You probably can't tell from the pictures, but there is glass glitter on part of this tag and it just sparkles. I also used a vintage Merry Christmas out of an old Christmas card. I will be listing this in my Etsy store and will be making more with different images. Have a blessed day!

I was playing around with my vintage patterns one day and came up with this original design and I really like how they turned out. I have sold several of them on my Etsy site so be sure and check them out if you like vintage sewing items. Have a wonderful day filled with unexpected blessings! Sandi
