Your tape transfers turned out great. I can't wait to see the finished items! I don think I will have time to make gifts this year. I have already made (most) of my cards and mailed them really early. You'll understand when you get yours. :)Cindy McMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786235605189409252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-65119852802903367812014-11-26T12:42:04.391-06:002014-11-26T12:42:04.391-06:00I've never done transfers.

Handmade gifts have a special charm that's personal. :) I've been helping Leah with a Christmas project for all Ian's grandparents and great grandparents. We make our Christmas cards every year. This year Leah will be finishing them up...very simple. I haven't been in good physical shape and she's busy with the baby--so very simple this year. :) <br />I'm glad I finally was able to post yesterday. Happy Belated T-Day! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-45247154678664542252014-11-26T08:30:53.670-06:002014-11-26T08:30:53.670-06:00your Transfers look soooo very good! your Transfers look soooo very good! johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236665096059653348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-89045788117133856852014-11-26T02:29:59.974-06:002014-11-26T02:29:59.974-06:00I'm popping in after reading TwinkleToes lovel...I'm popping in after reading TwinkleToes lovely T posting.<br />I've no idea what the transfers are but I look forward to seeing more.<br />Lynn :)Lynn Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683485991861662348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-24516411728715340352014-11-25T23:30:34.792-06:002014-11-25T23:30:34.792-06:00WOW!

Will share it next week. <br />Also, was going to say same thing as Susan (ariel) above, the DLP doesn't have to have drawings in it, you choose whatever way you want to do the prompts they give you. I have thought all year this would be a good project for you, the imagination and supplies you have are amazing and endless in my opinion. I am thinking of joining it next year and not using a planner but just a journal with the prompts only in it. Hope you will reconsider and join us. <br /><br />Also, wishing you a HAPPPPY THANKSGIVING friend, enjoy the day and the yummy food. I know your as thankful for so much just as I am too. I'm so thankful for your friendship and all you inspire me with and your kind words. Always happy coming here and visiting and the community here. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing so much with us. <br />Love and Hugs, Dawn dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-38269479422656260312014-11-25T18:07:20.913-06:002014-11-25T18:07:20.913-06:00Elizabeth I forgot to mention this that DLP is not...Elizabeth I forgot to mention this that DLP is not for serious artists. There is lot of fun playing with paints, stamps and stencils. Basically that is what it is-:) You even can sign up for their online classes, this years' classes are pretty affordable, not sure how they have planned it for next year though. So do think about it. We all can have fun<br />HugsArielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06138762723840260827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-7118894857834826142014-11-25T17:06:56.509-06:002014-11-25T17:06:56.509-06:00Love the transfers, Elizabeth!

Older family members don't like to exchange. And i'am the only one who does anything crafty... Because of that i don't kill myself to get something ready for Christmas. If i have something to give i give and if i don't i don't. I've just finished a Halloween project...lol My crafting is lost in its own little world and pays no attention to the time... lol Hugs!debjinxxxygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349344319328467284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-1745469513404997232014-11-25T10:13:09.792-06:002014-11-25T10:13:09.792-06:00Brilliant! of course I love the textures of all t...Brilliant! of course I love the textures of all the fabrics you've combined and especially the lace...you managed the transfers so well! adore the birds...happy T day...which this week stands for Thanksgiving! hope you have a cozy holiday with loved ones and enjoy your week! ♥Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-26920715320244367982014-11-25T10:12:22.842-06:002014-11-25T10:12:22.842-06:00Well, I'm late again!!!

I can never get mine to turn out that well, it might have something to do with patience, or the lack of them....grin<br /><br />I used to, when I did tons of sewing, give only homemade gifts. Now, not so much, they (the adults)usually get them more for birthdays, if I can come up with a good idea. Christmas is the handmade cards, that they all EXPECT, and feel disappointed if they don't get them. I do miss giving, and getting handmade gifts.<br /><br />I've started on my Christmas list, and had the main gifts for all the GKs taken care of, only to find out I bought the same thing for Taylor that Santa is bringing. OHY! Thanks goodness there is still time to return it and get the "other" thing I was thinking about. Those parents can sure spoil Grandma's fun....LOL<br /><br />Hope you and Bluebeard have a wonderful Thanksgiving.Krishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573573810959229149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-28613354938916285702014-11-25T08:08:05.187-06:002014-11-25T08:08:05.187-06:00fab ideafab ideaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-71559431654665957612014-11-25T07:27:22.514-06:002014-11-25T07:27:22.514-06:00Wonderful!

Recipe mixes and plants mostly, but I never got a single thank you note, so I switched to store-bought seasonal candles. I didn't get thank you notes for those either, tho lol. Now we just give gift cards to child relations who still live at home with parents.

You always have good ideas and homemade gifts are the best!!<br /><br />I don't even want to think about gifts yet, not my favorite part of Christmas. My mom is pretty good about giving me something homemade which I always want. I had hoped to make homemade cards this year but will try again for next year. <br />I would love to send happy mail your way for Christmas or afterwards. Here's my email if you'd like to. rikm@adelphia.net<br /><br />I'm linked up and ready to make the rounds tomorrow between errands and chores. It's my last day before the kids are home on break.
