K.I.S.S. especially when it comes to the holidays!
Christmas is literally right around the corner. It's a good time of year to follow the "Keep It Simple (Stupid)" principle. I find it's about this time when I start to wrap gifts and realize my gifts are missing a label. I like to make sure the right person gets the right gift from under the tree but for some reason I always forget about this small detail until the last minute. My solution? Gift tags! Simple, right?

Christmas tags for your gifts are so easy to make and I highly recommend that if your'e short on time and won't be able to get/make a Christmas card a gift tag is a great substitute. Being a perfectionist sometimes I have to remind myself that it's okay! The recipient of my gift will not miss the card if I put as much care and attention into the gift and the tag. And I can write the same sentiments as I would int he card. Plus, it takes me less time to design a gift tag and I get more bang for my buck because it's so affordable. Gift tags don't use much paper or supplies at all!

I was going to post some pictures of gift tags I'm using this year and then I saw some gift tags on Jeanette Lynton's (the founder of Close To My Heart) blog. Her talents far exceed mine so I'll show you some of hers. Aren't they great?!



Now that I think about it, next year I might even offer a class on gift tags. Why not?
