simm-ply. ha-a-ving.

i have the feeling i'm going to blink and then christmas will be here. i blinked in september and now it's middle november. anyway. i am a horrible gift giver and i get really stressed out about what to buy people for christmas. (sorry in advance, you people.) i ordered some christmas tags on etsy the other day and they were something like 6 bucks and i got 30 handmade tags and they came like this:

a personal note, cute envelope, beautiful product, a few freebie tags, a red bow...

all i'm saying is, it was such a pleasant transaction. you may get a really lame gift this year, but it will have impeccable presentation. this i promise.

Please, bring on the lame. Which it's not. It's exactly what I hope for.

Is the above comment from your mother some kind of secret, cryptic code message? If so, cool! I do not understand...but maybe it's supposed to be that way.

cute tags! no link?

And I love love the gifts you got our family last year! Thoughtful, handmade and wonderful. Don't stress, you deserve more credit than you're giving yourself.

thanks, guys. val, i'm not sure you're ready for the code...

sar, the link is hidden. it is on the word "etsy." the shop is "story by mia." she has cute stuff! including two of the calendars i want.

Valerie,
Funny girl. I just said, please . . give me this so- called "lame" gift because I really like it. Which makes it not lame at all! It's highly desired. I write lots of notes and give lots of gifts, so I'm always running out of tags/cards. amye

I don't think any of us are ready for the secret code.

Maybe you could just order these tags for everyone you're giving gifts to?

Love the tags! I just might have to get some of those myself!
