NOT Bacon!

If you haven't ever used a crocheted or knitted dish cloth you don't know what you are missing. They are really easy to make.

Christmas gift tagsI made these 25

I made these 25 gift tags because I was wrapping gifts to take to Thanks Giving for our AR family

Here I combined some mini ornaments I bought some years back on clearance with the paper elements I made.

I just think these are cute.

I hand wrote on the backs of most To: & From:
