I bet you all are scurrying around getting ready for the big day. Can it really be this time of the year already? It seems so far away all year and then rushes towards me in the end...
That said, I am sorry this wee gift is coming to you so late. I thought it was a great idea when I saw others sharing such treats. So, I made some especially for you. What are they? Why, free funny little gift tags! They look like this...
All you have to do to open a printable PDF version is to click HERE.
I printed some of my own from the PDF file to make sure they worked. Starting from left to right, I used fancy card stock, regular card stock and plain old paper. So, as you can see, they will be cute whether you have time to get some card stock or not.
Punch a hole in a corner, add twine or butchers string or ribbon, and voila. Or you can just stick them on to your package with tape. I cut some of mine out with wavy scissors...
I am sorry I was so slow in getting you these free Happy Holiday tags!!! I hope you can still use them!!
I will be back once more before I go out of town for the holidays!! See you soon!! I am under piles of craziness! How about you??
Fabuloso!! I love these, especially the mushroom! I am done wrapping for this year but I am going to print a whole stack of these for my christmas wrap box for next year! Happy Holidays! xo, suzy

Oh how sweet! I may have to plead with the printer to let me have these printed out...it's so very snotty sometimes! OR, I could go to my mother's and use hers...it's so much nicer! Thank you for such a wonderful giftie!!

I have printed some out and they are absolutely perfect. You are amazing! By the way, I always thought that little photo at the top of your page was just some model. Duh, now I know, and I've been looking at all of your pictures.
Thank you for these perfect little gift tags!

So I click on Blind Divine for some musical inspiration, because you had put me onto Bat for Lashes which is constantly playing in the car btw...the kids love it too! LOL
And lo, there is a Valencia in the group.
Pray tell, could this be a relative? If so, I will go immediately to buy and support your family! ;D
