Last minute Christmas ideas

It's almost "panic" time, if you're like me and still have some last minute holiday stuff to wrap up. 

It will get done, one way or another, won't it? 

I hope each of you have a relaxing, beautiful, stress-free holiday. 

Last Christmas we were in the middle of a swirling snowstorm ~ gusty winds, frigid temperatures ~ the whole nine yards.  This year, it's supposed to be in the 50's.  So much more my style! 

If you are wrapping gifts today and need a last minute gift tag, check out the ones I made using my old birding field guide.  (My Dad told me to throw it out when he gave me a new one but of course, I couldn't do that!)

Also, if you have a stamp set available you could stamp your way into a fellow nature-lovers heart by making this sweet set:

My Mom got one of these on a package, she might like the tag as much as what's inside! (but I hope not)

If you're in need of a quick gift, for an unexpected guest, you could whip up a cocoa or tea mix and put it in a recylced glass jar like I did below. 

The container above was a Sweet Leaf Tea bottle that I ran thru my dishwasher then instead of keeping the lid, I inserted a cork in its place.  Tie on a quick tag and you're set! 

The tags and the cocoa mix were all featured in the December 2010 Crafts 'N Things magazine.  The card at the top was just for fun. 

Now I better get in motion so I can enjoy the day tomorrow!  See you after Christmas!  Have a good one...
