Whats in your bucket....

I LOVE to shop the dollar store.  You can find such fun 'things' there to wrap gifts in.  These little buckets make 6 cookies look like so much more.  Add a darling easy tag and you are set!

A little Gift wrap.....


Gift wrap doesn't have to cost a lot.  These sacks were $1 for a pkg of 10 in the Target dollar spot.  I used some scraps of City Sidewalk paper, and some twine.  So about a .15 gift wrap.

Just Bag it!!

 It is easy to give a fun yet inexpensive gift to co workers, neighbors, friends and teachers.  Fill a little bag, make a quick little bag topper and you have a fun gift.  Can be as big or as little, as fancy or as simple as you desire.  The gift doesn't need to be big, just a thought to know you are thinking of them.

Mix it up Christmas card



 These two cards are exactly the same, but a little different!  The cuts and pieces used are identical.  The each just use different papers, and different stamps for the focal point.  So much you can do with one idea.  Just Mix it up a bit.   Top card uses the OH DEER paper and the lower card uses the City Sidewalks paper.  Top uses Gold shimmer trim while the lower card uses silver shimmer trim.
