How do you pack up your Christmas goodies to put under the tree?
Over at Unstampabelles we want to know how you pack your Christmas presents so those small (and not so small) fingers cannot feel the present or those eyes cannot peek!
Lately I have been using carry bags.
They are easy to pack and easy to take home
You can get some lovely ones quite cheaply
You can recycle them
AND you can pretty up the free ones you get from the shops!
That's what I did for the challenge at Unstampabelles - Week One!
Not only did I recycle a big carry bag but I also got to use up old 12 x 12 Christmas papers from SU!
There was no cutting involved today
Recipe:
2 sheets of 12 x 12 card
One large bag
Bits and bob's from the Christmas stash.......
Here is the back of the bag!
Just to tidy up the bag and hide the name of the business
Here is the front - a bit more decorative
Not only is the bag recycled but the sentiment is an old Christmas card sent to us last year
In addition to the foliage, there is ribbon and a bell
Recycled from a present of chocolate last year
A close-up of the deco's
Hope you are now inspired to get something made
It will be handy in six week's time!
Look what I found on my camera today when I went to download the photo's for this post!
Hettie (Granddaughter) was home for a week last week and she and her boyfriend came for dinner one night - they came downstairs to get the kitten out from behind the cupboard - where he hides when he is scared!
Dylan must have taken it then on my camera.
My craft space is so messy and dirty but you can see one corner of it here.
Weasley hides behind the white cupboards.........
The red buoy is now in the water indicating where our mooring is - I was given the job of painting on the numbers! Hope they last!
The white boxes are mostly dies and embossing folders

Great recycling, and the bag came out so beautiful and elegant!
Your craft room seems very big, if that is only a corner of it!
Poor Weasley, no place is safe when young people is at his home! LOL :D
