Unfortunately, I am the only one in my whole family who does anything homemade--guess my genes did not reach anyone else. Thanks for sharing your great tags. Love them and so wish I had that cartridge. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
Your tags on your bags are simply adorable!
My favorite handmade gift ever has to be the woven baby cradle that my Mom made for us when I was pregnant with our first son. It is a family heirloom that will be cherished and passed down for many years to come.
Happy Holidays!

So so cute! I started making toffee with my mom growing up and then started making it on my own once I moved out. It is one of my favorite (as long as it goes well) holiday traditions. ;)
Your packaging is adorable! I think I may be scrap-lifting this because I haven't been able to come up with any ideas for packaging this year on my own.
TFS!
Those tags are beautiful! I really need to get some inspiration for I am making tags tonight! My favorite home made gifts where those made from my children in school. They are all grown and have children of their own now and I still cherish them...every one of them!
Merry Christmas to you and Yours!

My favorite Homemade gift is the quilt my grandma made me. It is very old and thread bare now, but I still love it!!
Those tags are adorable!! The best homemade gift I ever received was a blanket knitted by my mom. I have had it for years and still use it today. Even though she is no longer with us, the blanket always makes me smile because I think of her when I use it.
