DIY: Christmas Gift Bag

Well I am back again. Yah!!! I love blogging. Today at work we are doing Secret Santa. I ran around like crazy last night and this morning getting the gift together. Getting gifts for Gwen was difficult.  This person is not easy to shop for. The other problem was that I wanted to get her jewelry, however jewelry at Belk can be expensive. Thank God it was on sale (Yes!). I also got some chocolate and other candy for her as well.

Here is the cute bag that I put the gift in.

   

Here are the supplies you will need:

• 1 piece of green paper
• 1 piece of red paper
• 1 piece of brown paper
•  scissors
•  glue stick
•  leftover gift bag (or a really cheap one)
•  gold ribbon
•  tissue paper (red & white)

I had a leftover gift bag that I had saved from a gift that I had received (you should always do this in case you are short on cash or you just don't have time to get one). I had green, brown, and red paper. I got silhouettes of a Christmas tree and reindeer. I semi traced/semi free drew the Christmas tree and reindeer. I free drew the holly berries and leaves and folded the little brown piece of paper into a tag.

The Order I Completed This In:

1. Get Supplies
2. Print Out Christmas Tree & Reindeer
3. Trace/free draw holly, reindeer, and Christmas tree
4. Cut Everything Out
5. Glue
6. Put Little Tag together
7. Attach tag to bag
8. Let glue dry
9. Put gift and tissue paper in bag

Done! This took me only 30 minutes to get the bag together.

This shouldn't cost that much and you will have paper left over for other projects as well. If you want to you can even do this in bright pinks, greens, and blues. If you can put links of those pictures, if you do. I would love to know what all of you have

It's been over a Year!

For everyone who has no idea what I am taking about, last month on May 12, 2011 was the one year anniverseray of this blog. For me that is amazing because I have a hard time sticking to a project once I have started it. I started this blog really nervous as to what I was going to say, write,etc. I had no idea what I was doing when I started out, but in only one year it has evolved and grown.

From May 12, 2010-May I have created 62 posts! And so far for this year(up to today) I have written 36 posts. that's more then May12- Dec 31, 2010.

I am very proud of myself

Well Enjoy Kool & the Gang

French Phrase of the Day!

I have had a wonderful idea. I just got a little pull-away calendar and on it it has French phrases of the day. I am taking French in college and I want to improve greatly so I will share this with all of you so that I can become better.

Not only will I have french phrases on there, but I will also talk about different facts and data about French history, different places, and anything else french related.

Here at my other blog is where I have started this:

I hope you all enjoy! Bonne journée! (Good day!)

Catching up on Book Reviews

I have been quite busy these past few months. As a result I have only been able to finish reading books and not actually write the reviews for them. I would space out the reviews, but I don't know when I will be able to next and I do not want to procrastinate on this. Otherwise I will get behind, feel guilty and get back into a pattern where I feel terrible and awful and etc.

So I will probably writing more than one post a day, just to get it out of the way. I know that sounds bad, but I do just want to get it done.

Merry Christmas!!

I will be taking a few days to break from posting on here, I know I was away before and did not post, but I want to relax for the holidays. If I do post I will be surprised but nevertheless

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas!!!
