Good Morning World!! 

I am sitting here with my first cup of coffee not wanting to work today... I do hate split days off!!  But I also have something fun to share with you all.. A blast from the past.

Do you have one of these??? Yep that bag of parts is part from Christmas past????

Well them you can make some fun Tags the double as ornaments to share... I use them as tags and even on my tree, I swap them also.. I love these they are simple, easy to make and use up all those scraps...

First you have to cut the pieces which include   one - 3" square,  one - 2 1/4 square and  two - 1 3/4 x 3/4" rectangle.

Next distress and ink the edges of the rectangles with I have use a finger nail file, distresser tool, scissors and even a sanding block pictured here..after you rough up the edges ink them lightly.

you then layer them adhere the with a good adhesive... a wet quick dry glue works well... hint to much glue will make them to distort when dry. Now Decorate add a hanger and you have a small but beautiful work of art you can use as a tag that doubles as an ornament. 

after all your pieces are adhered decorate as you wish..

Have a happy day!!!

This table cloth is amazing it fits my table. :)

I have to show off some junk or trash what ever you call it.. I have worked for a large retailer for almost 5 yrs and have drug home so much "trash" over the years.. My husband call me crazy, but then he is amazed when I bring some creation out of my evil scrapbooking lab... My happiest moment to date is when I finished a dress form I made out of a large cardboard tube from a plastic wrap roll.

To make this story short it has antique lace, parts off an old wedding dress, a wooded wheel, candle cup some broken jewelry, flowers and a lot of love. I hope you love her.

It all started here saved this from the trash..
