I have never made tags before. I actually never even knew about them. But . . . I am in love with making tags!! I heard about them when browsing blogs. Karla's Cottage is hosting a Valentine Tag Swap and while I did not participate, I have been inspired to create some of my own. I am going to make a book of six tags, so I am not yet finished, but I am so excited and wanted to share my newest creation. Now remember this is my first time making tags, but I don't think they're too bad. These will be for my mother for Valentine's Day. As she is my sweet mother, she loves anything I do - ah, there is nothing like a mother's love.
Here are the fronts . . .
And here are the backs . . .
I need to put holes in the top as I covered those up and I need to finish two more, but I am very happy with my results. What I really enjoy about this new craft is that you can be as creative as you want in the relatively small space you have to work with. I need to find additional embellishments, but I had such fun with what I had on hand. I will share the finished product, hopefully tomorrow night.

Hi Joyce!
Great job on the tags! They turned out beautiful. It's so fun to try different things and be creative.
Good job on not gaining! Sometimes that's half the battle, to NOT gain! It's such a struggle but I'm starting to feel better. I know it's going to be a long road to get back to what I think is a healthy weight for me but it WILL be worth it! WE can do it!!
Hugs, sherry
Oh Joyce ~ they're beautiful. You're so very crafty! I love making tags too!

Joyce, they are wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Love your pretty tags! Aren't they fun? I like using up the little bits and pieces to make tags. Thanks for checking up on me - I've been a lazy blogger, but not a lazy crafter. Can't wait to mail your package off. It's almost done!

JOYCE,
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BANNER FOR YOUR BLOG...LOVE IT.
I JUST FOUND YOUR BLOG WHILE VISITING BLOGS. I AM NEW TO THE BLOGGING WORLD BUT HAVE MET SOME AWESOME WOMEN.
LITTLE LADY LACIE IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
LITTLE BABY BELLA...IS BELLA A SHEEP DOG???? I DON'T KNOW SHE JUST REMINDS ME OF ONE ALTHOUGH SHE IS QUITE SMALL IF SHE WAS A SHEEP DOG.
YOUR VALENTINE TAGS ARE BEAUTIFUL...HOW HAPPY YOUR MOTHER WILL BE.
I WOULD BE HONORED IF YOU STOPPED BY MY HUMBLE BLOG.

I like the idea of being creative in a small space. You're inspiring me. I just have to try to hold this feeling until I get back to Hawaii.
