Hey friends! I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving and are gearing up for a Merry Christmas—or however you celebrate this magical season! Hubby and I spent Thanksgiving at our daughter and son-in-law’s, and we had such a blast playing What Do You Meme?. It was a night full of laughs and memories we’ll cherish.
How about you? What did your Thanksgiving look like? I hope it was everything you wished for—peaceful, joyful, and filled with love!

Adorable Christmas Pocket Tags
💖I’m beyond excited to share something that’s incredibly close to my heart—a project I crafted back in November 2021! It’s a delightful mix of vintage treasures and modern imagery, blended together to create a design that’s as cohesive as it is charming. I even designed the pocket tag completely from scratch (yes, I’m that hands-on!). To ensure everything was just right, I printed it all out to check the fit—and let me tell you, it was worth every minute of effort.
Although I lost the original video during a laptop mishap (RIP video), I couldn’t resist relisting these in the shop, and I’m thrilled they’ve been such a hit!
If you’re on the hunt for adorable stocking stuffers with a vintage twist that will bring a smile to a loved one’s face, you’ve got to check these out. They’re perfect for tucking in cash or other little surprises once assembled—talk about multitasking magic!
