Umm... I think I just got my craft-on !!
I do like creative things, but usually on a larger scale, like, ah, painting the living room. This little project was at the other end of the spectrum & not my usual forte. The alphabet set from Emily got my crafty juices flowing (artsy-crafty, not evil-crafty) and the new Paper Source Nashville store tipped me over the edge with their wall of pretty stamps & colored paper. They really ARE a source of all things paper.
I thought it was time to get Porter Rd in the Christmas spirit, so I took my peppermint tea & poopey-nugget looking chocolate treats to settle-in for some delicate creativity, making my own gift tags.
I realize it's a simple place to start with my crafting endeavors, nothing more complicated than inking & stamping.. Preeetty sure kids in kindergarten are doing the same thing right this minute, with half a potato & some craft paper.
BUT, it's a start! And I'm liking how pretty they look, & that the ink went where it should & not all over my fingers & the table (bet you can't claim THAT, kindy kids?!)
Let the season of Christmas begin!
