Good morning! I’m on the move this morning having gotten up about 5:30 am. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know why other than one of the pups came in whining. I’ve had one pot of coffee, starting on the second and I’m in the studio. Pretty amazing for me these days!
I actually started today’s Tag 7 of T!m’s 
12 Tags of Christmas last night. I applied the stickles around 10 pm, and decided they needed to dry overnight so I turned off the lights, headed upstairs and finished the tag this morning. Here’s T!m’s Tag 7.
I decided to put the sentiment on a separate tag, and added some luscious silk May Arts Ribbon. To highlight Santa’s beard and hat, I added some white Tulip Puffy Paint. The tag is outlined with Gold paint and then I took an old toothbrush, dabbed it in the gold paint and splattered both the tag and sentiment panel.

As I write this, I was reminded of what my cousin and I used to call Santa. For one of us it was Ho Ho and the other was Sin Cardy. I forget now which was which, but my mother tells the story that we got into an argument one day about who was right and who was wrong.
That’s it for now! Here’s hoping you have a fabulous day (even if there is snow where you are – none here and yes the neighbor’s tree is still standing) and thanks for stopping in! Speaking of the neighbor’s tree . . . I decided that because I’m hoping it will fall so that I can redecorate, etc., it won’t. That’s how my luck runs!
Hi there, just a note to say that I love your Tim tags. And I really appreciate your style of writing, it always makes me laugh!
Have a nice day.

Oh my goodness isn’t he gorgeous!!! I just love the look of the little imagine tag hanging at the top, it so sets it off. Are you really putting these luscious tags on gifts??? That’s like getting a gift in a gift. Off to look at the others you’ve made since I haven’t been here for a few days!
Great Tag! WOW
