Christmas Tags!

Inspired by the fabulous Lisa Stenz (here) I sat down to make some Christmas tags! These were so much fun! I failed to photograph the backside of them - but I used the open circle design and the tiny "to" and "from" stamps so the tags can be properly addressed! I decided that a dozen was a nice number to give to someone - so I set about making a box to hold a dozen tags. That turned out easier than I thought it would be - guess all that practice with chocolate nuggets is paying off! ;-)

Yesterday was quiet at work so I was glad to leave when the time came (I'd much rather be busy!). I went straight to my church where one of the young men was being presented with his Eagle Scout award. What a beautiful ceremony they created for him! I've been to others and his was the most inspiring I've ever seen. It's always interesting to realize who in the group is also an Eagle Scout - men I've known for years, but never knew this little bit about them! I enjoyed it tremendously - even if I was up to my elbows in making and serving the punch. By the way - that punch was delicious! Here's the recipe I'd been handed to use:

1 can limeade (thawed but not diluted)
1/2 can lemonade (thawed but not diluted)
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups water
2 liters of Gingerale (Wait! I may have put 4 liters in the bowls - no wonder we ran out so quickly! Is the big plastic bottle 1 liter or 2 liters? I guess I thought they were 1 liter and used 2 for each bowl! YIKES!)

The good news is that there was JUST the right amount of punch for the group (about 1/4 of a bowl left over) and everyone loved it!

Umm. Sharli here, still being silly!
