ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea, thanks for sharing! I appreciate your time!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas gift of all time was from my baby sister when she was around 10 years old. She made me an Americana themed mini quilt to hang on the wall or put on the back of the couch. (she had help from my mom of course) But I always remember how excited she was to share her talent to me. I still have the quilt and love getting it out to display around the 4th.
Thanks again for doing this blog hop for us!

Brilliant idea to have a card keeper. Hugs, Fran
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!! I love the look of it!! :) I think my favorite Christmas gift (so many to choose from) would have to be my camera. It's hard though, because my husband always surprises me!! ALWAYS!!! It seems like each year just gets better and better, especially with our little ones. Thanks for a chance! I've wanted to get some Tim Holtz product; I've heard wonderful things. Thanks again for the chance but mostly for sharing your talent and creativity!! :)

ReplyDeleteThough I'm late since this is Monday, I figured I'd better send a comment anyway since that was part of the rules. I have snailmail at home, so it takes my computer forever to hop and complete these. Loved your idea of the card book and the interesting tips, thank you
