Have a Blessed Day~

I hope you have a Blessed Day!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.....

Wrap Up Day For the Ho-Ho-Ho Blog Hop~

Today is the final day of the wonderful Ho-Ho-Ho Blog Hop!

I hope you have found lots of inspiration to kick-start your
holiday creations!

Thanks to Carol and Madame Samm
for pulling us all together as we hop along!!

You can go back and look at the beautiful works by clicking on the Hop Buttons!

Since today, the last day, is my turn,  I thought... Let's Wrap It Up!! Everyone loves a pretty package, and a smart, useful, pretty package is a gift that  keeps on giving... A pillowcase is perfect for those larger or odd-shaped gifts, and it is something that everyone uses. Tie it up with a pretty ribbon and it is ready to go under the tree!

A gift bag with a sewn casing and drawstring could hold smaller items,

although they can be made any size.

The bags work great for traveling, holding shoes or storage...

You can decorate the bag with a simple holiday motif,

make it scrappy, or from bleached muslin to store a stocking or quilt.

Or, how about a festive little zippered bag?

You can never have too many bags with zippers..

fabulous organizational tools!

Noodlehead has directions for some spiffy open-wide zippered pouches.

Zippered bags can come in all sizes and shapes.

Michelle Patterns has wonderfully simple directions for the two larger

Dumpling Bags.

Wouldn't it be sweet to find them nestled in the branches,

filled with treats or little poems?

They are easy to make...the tiny one is 1" smaller than her smallest pattern.

How about a basket to fill with goodies?

A Spoonful of Sugar has a great tutorial for gathered baskets.

She also has directions for three different sizes!

Thanks to this hop I have some wrappings ready...

Now this elf needs to get working on their stuffings, 

because, although it was an amazing 70' F when I took these photos
at 9PM

(in August near Nome that is qUiTe a surprise),

we know that white stuff will be flying before we are ready for it!!

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night.....
