Found a hand written version of this at my stepdaughter’s place over the holidays and couldn’t resist the opportunity to glam it up for her!

Hot off the hook!
Did you guess what it was?!
This beautiful axolotl was made from a pattern by KatieKittyCraft on Etsy.
It’s a surprise present for my daughter so mums the word ok?

Wrapping presents is fun, right?!

Imagining how great they look under the Christmas tree and how excited the recipient feels when they receive that beautifully wrapped gift, wondering what could possibly be inside.

So I have a question for you - do you:
* buy ready-made tags that match the paper?
* buy ready-made tags in bulk?
* buy printable ones?
* or go all in and hand-make them yourself?

In the past, we've had a mixture of ready-made for the ease of wrapping a lot of presents for small children. Then one year I had underestimated how many we would need and run out! 😩 Luckily my craft stash saved the day with a tag and star hole-punch and gold card!

Recently I discovered printable items on Etsy, where the DIY and great design combine. But found that there were no Video Gamer items that would suit my son. So, decided to make my own! 😀

Here's the link to my shop in case you'd like to check the gift tags out. Holiday cards, wall art and other items to follow.

How do you like to get organised?

Bullet journal?

Desk diary?

Online calendar?

If you prefer to write things down, like me, there’s a printable one for the New Year in my Etsy store. It features a pretty photo of a daisy I took in the spring. It’s reasonably priced at £2.96.

More options are in the pipeline, message me for a personalised project.

Feedback would be great so please let me know what you think.

Latest commission! Took plenty of time to make.

Since the pattern was £20 on Etsy, thought I’d have a go and making it up myself.

What do you think?

Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful Dads out there especially mine and my hubby 💕

Grateful for my amazing step-daughter Lauren as she bought the ole man a curry leaving me time for sewing! So I’m adding a lining into this denim bag.
