Brenda...I got my many tags today!!! Oh, I wish I could post pictures but my computer won't let me. It is dying on me! So, if you took pictures please post them for me. They are so adorable. The Snowman, Sled and The Holly Berries were my very favorite ones. You did
an awesome job! And I feel so blessed to get them! Thanks Sister!

my tags went out in yesterday's mail...so sorry they are late...life got in the way and it wasn't nice! back on track now and sending best wishes!
now that i have snet them i have to share- i had fun making them once i got started-tho it was funny! couldn't find glue- so i cut open an old bottle of elmer's and used a toothpick! hey-it worked in gradeschool! couldn't find my paper punch for one hole so used my three ring punch! had to keep hiding the tags in the micro when i wasn't around so my great dane didn't eat them...he's been eating everything that isn't nailed down!
since i never gor into scrapping and paper crafts much, my supplies were limited and my stash is still not found from our move--so it was fun scrounging--now i dunno if i should commit to any other swaps ever? or start NOW for next Christmas/holiday!!!
anyhow- they are in the mail!hugs!!!!

Vickie, thanks for letting me know. I have that stuff! Haven't used it in a while so I sort of forgot about it. I have been playing with different things to use as snow in papercraft......I think that is the most dimensional and photographs well too. Can't believe I forgot about it lol.

Catherine,
I used Snow-Tex by DecoArt to make the dimensional snow. It is fun and easy, just requires a little extra time to dry. You can make hair or anything with it and color can be added to it also.

I mailed my 2 partners their tags on Monday after my 8 year old step nephew helped me out. He did all the works with my help except using the scissors. He is physically challenged and took him awhile do this with me. When ya'll get your cards and tags you will see what he did.He wrote the sayings on back of the envelope. Mostly glue and glitter inside..LOL..His parents doesn't let him do alot of stuff at home but when he comes here..we get into a mess..lol..ya should see the cookies we make..mmmm..
Love me like I am. farmgirl #801

Monica! Thank you SO much for ALL of the lovely tags you sent me! You spoiled me rotten - but I really, really loved it! LOL! I apologize for the delay in the acknowledgment - we were in the midst of funeral stuff and I wanted to open it once everything was over. You are an extremely creative and talented lady! I will post pictures asap... Please just know that I really, really, really love everything, and really, really, really appreciate all the work you put into this wonderful set of tags! You're the best! Hugs - Nini
