I have to tell you the truth:  I don’t shop after Thanksgiving.  I am a Crowd Curmudgeon:  detest crowds, detest pushing, detest waiting in line.  Today I’ll be at my son’s Eagle Project taking photos, and if the stars line up, I’ll head out to Cheryl’s in the afternoon for some stampin’ fun.  Shopping and giving are still on my list – just not today.

When I do shop, and have a gift to give, what better way to present it than in a hand-stamped gift bag?

Don’t you love this color combination?  Crystal and I were looking for something that said holiday but was not the traditional red and green and we came up with Concord Crush and Pear Pizazz – with a little Gold, Suede and Kraft Crumb Cake on the side.   And that Sounding Joy stamp set…oh my goodness!  I have used it for so many projects and loved the results every time.  It’s in the Holiday Mini catalog – do you have yours yet?
