Valentines Goodie Bag

I know I might be a bit ahead of myself but holidays sure do sneak up on us.  I had some time in my craft room last night and I whipped up this little goodie bag for Valentines day!  I used this months sketch from The Paper Bakery for my inspiration!  It was just perfect my bag!

I am not sure which lucky love will get this bag but its sure to be filled with lots of sweet treats! 

Thanks for stopping by!

My love of paper bags and a question for my crafty friends!

I just love paper bags of any size.  The kraft color is so appealing to me and so versatile.  I spent sometimes with a crafting with a friend on Friday night and I made a few new gift bags!

My question that I need an HONEST answer to:

Would people buy these if I sold sets of gift /goodie bags possibly with a coordinating card or tag?

Opinions please!!!

These little lunch sacks make a great treat bag to send someone special a little something special!

I embossed bags for the first time - LOVE IT!  I cut them down to a smaller size because everything is cutter in a smaller size :)

This one is my favorite!  A bag for the season!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look and if you left me some feedback to my question, I really appreciate it!!!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins I made for a fun girls night. I have always wanted to have tooth-pic banners in my cupcakes!

Our tree..... does not look like this anymore.  Bauer (our dog) thinks the decorations were put on to keep him occupied while we are at work. So only the top part of our tree is now decorated.

LOVE my front door!!!!!

I cant get enough bristle trees!

Zenger Family Thanksgiving.

Gift Banners

Well, its official I am addicted to making banners :)  I am running out of ideas for making banners for myself (at least for piratical purposes) so I decided to make a few as Christmas gifts! 

 

This is not exactly a banner but more of a sign but who is counting.  I made this sign for my sons teacher! I just LOVE it!  I used 2 sheets of heavy cardboard and glued them together to give make it sturdy.  I used the the Hometown Summer collection from Pink Paislee to make this sign. I just adore these little kids.  

These two banners were made for some special little girls that are friends of our family.  It was really fun to go all girly on some banners! 

Its not to late if you need a quick crafty gift someone special! 

Happy Crafting!
