Ready for a breather....

I know that I am. I've not finished my shopping yet, but I'm ready for a breather. Today I've got to venture out into the world and do some shopping. Last minute gifts, stocking stuffers, crowds, rude people, hot cocoa, crazy drivers, candy canes, more rude people, spiked egg nog (lots of spiked egg nog) more crowds. Yes, I think this is how the day's going to be. Why is there so many people out there who insist on not being nice. Just yesterday I was at the grocery store and there was a "traffic jam" at the end of an isle. There was a sweet little old lady who was not sure where she was going, I was waiting for her to go first - because that's the type of person I am, and this lady came from behind me and cut in front of the lady and me. The poor woman looked scared or stunned, I'm not sure which ~ and then I let her go. I just turned to my hubby and said I guess what she needed to do was more important than being polite. Sometimes the season does not bring out the best in people.

Enough now, I'm off my soapbox.

I wanted to show you something that I made a while back. I'm sure that I posted it, but right now I can't seem to find it. It is a gift card holder. Now, I know that this one is for a birthday but you can use it for Christmas, just decorate it accordingly.

This is just a simple envelope. I folded it in half and taped the outer edges on the left side to hold the gift card in place - and the right side I just decorated with a sentiment panel. This set happens to be a TAC set called Wild West. It's one of my favorites! Before you add the image panel to the front of the card lay down a piece of ribbon to tie the gift holder closed with. So simple that you can make one in just a couple of minutes!!

I will be back tomorrow to show you some more goodies.

Have a great day!
Hugs,
