Oh you made my day...I have been holding on to some of the cutest images for sometime and the fact that I have loads of paper itching to be cut doesn't hurt. Place my name on that sweet list....I would love to make do with what I have and hold on to it until it is too cute to send. This won't cost a dime except postage for me. Thanks E...Smiles...Renee

Michele said...

I would love to play along too. I have been in many tag swaps, but I'm not familiar with how yours works. How many tags do we make and are they all made the same?

Hi Elizabeth!!
OMG!! I am jumping up and down for joy, well at least in my heart I am!! Please include me!! I can not wait!! I have the cricut and I have several cartridges and am willing to do cuts for anyone that would like them. I have some cardstock stashed but if they want certain colors they can mail it to me and I will be glad to cut for them. I will make a list of my cricut cartridges and post it on my blog sidebar in the near future so if anyone wants anything, just ask! That is what friends are for!!!
Thank you so much.!! Say a prayer for me tonight and tomorrow morning. I go in the morning at 7 for the placement of the trial run of the nerve stimulator thingie for my back. I am just a little nervous. It is cool and damp and raining here today so I am feeling it in my back and leg!!! I hate PAIN!!!
Thank you so much for letting me join!! I am soo excited. I am excited about the ATC size tags super duper cuteness.
Hugs,
Lynn

Thank you.

Jennifer said...

I've never been in a tag swap before but please sign me up. How many do we send?

Linda Ruthie said...

Oh, Elizabeth, I know I said I shouldn't, but how can I resist making little vintage Christmas tags? I can't! If you have a space for me, I'd be so happy.
I think the red and white string you are looking for is called bakers twine. I've seen it for sale on Etsy. My local market ties their pie boxes with it and I always save it for crafts.

If you have room, I would love to join in your swap. Sounds like so much fun! How many do we send in? I suppose you don't know yet, right? Hah!

Nan said...

Well E. my friend maybe I should stretch myself and do this 20 tag exchange. Last year I was too afraid. I have some darling new Christmas paper too I want to use. I get so nervous trying to be cute as the next person and I'm not quite that cute you know!!
I'm going to try however, maybe go to the print shop in town and have my images printed up that way I'm not so good with my printer doing them. Nan

Debby said...

I'd love to be included if you still have room. It was fun last year. I like the little tags this year.

what a happy post! I can't wait to see what you all do! Hmmm... Maybe someone would want to trade some tags for a garland.

Hi Elizabeth,
I am reading your blog for the first time. I am so amazed at the interest in things vintage...it so reminds me of my childhood!!
But I have a question...what is this about tags and the purpose behind making them? This is one area of crafting that is foreign to me, so I am interested in learning more.
BTW, your blog is so darn cute!! :)

She'sSewPretty said...

Well shoot! Am I too late? I was just working on my Happy Homemaker tags and was thinking I needed to do a Christmas tag.

Scrap for Joy said...

I haven't been "visiting" recently because I'm frantically getting ready for a big craft show. Of course I'm up for your tag swap. By now, it's a tradition!
Thanks for holding a place for me.
xoxo
