CHRISTMAS  BOTTLE  TAGS TUTORIAL Here is one of the items which sold out fast at the craft fair I participated in Nov 10 [see earlier post]. I was told by my friend Maria, a fab crafter in her own right, t o do these but I didn't really think I needed to make that many - boy was I wrong!

Hi Crafters! Here I am getting a start on Christmas projects!  One of my chosen themes to run with this year is the snowflake as I love them!  Pure and white, they add a touch of the true holiday spirit in my opinion.
