More on Handmade Tags

Thought I'd show before and after photos of a few items I've made into tags! Didn't take a photo of the book first, but the pig tags are from a children's book called Pigsty!
Monopoly properties turn into these cool two-sided tags.

This is a music journal, used to do lessons.

These are the tags that I made from the journal.

This is a pad of paper I picked up at a flea market! It looks like it was used for car appraisals!

I love how they came out! They'd be prefect for pricing items for garage sales, flea markets, shops, shows and to write a short message to customers!

You can see other tags in my shop: www.RunsWithScissors4.Etsy.com I'd be happy to do custom orders for you!

Garden Flowers!

I love this time of the year! All the colors to be seen. Here's just a few of my flowers.Isn't this fun? It starts out as a tight bud and then pops open! Kids love these because you can squeeze them to help them open! This is what it looks like once it pops open.

These are new to me this year and I'm in love! Great to bring into the house as cut flowers, they really last long and the ones that weren't open, did open while in the house!

The photos don't do them justice! You should see the insides of them!

This one shocked me! It's way too early for these but this one was ready! Just a beautiful calla lily!

Thrifting, AGAIN?

I tried not to stop, I really did. Had lunch with my Mother today and there's two thrift shops on the way. I told myself I have enough stuff, don't stop, don't do it, no. I finally settled on a compromise with myself and stopped at one shop.

One of the first things I saw was a Fiesta teapot in yellow. Oh my, my heart skipped a beat. Paddles, STAT! Unfortunately, it was broken in two spots. But just look at what followed me home! This little pig came to my house! I know you want it, don't you?
