Southern Scraps

Welcome to the Etsygreeting Holiday blog hop! If you've arrived here by chance, and want to visit the whole hop, see the directions at the end.  One of my favorite holiday traditions is to make homemade goodies and give them in repurposed decorated containers. I use my craft and scrapbook supplies to alter nut tins, gatorade containers, jars, you name it. Here's a nut tin I recently altered with paper, Mod Podge, and ribbon.

BIRTHDAY BONANZA EVENT: FROM FEB. 21-25, PURCHASE ANY THREE CARDS FROM MY SHOP AND RECEIVE A FOURTH ONE FREE. CONVO ME WITH YOUR CHOICE OF FREE CARDS. (Free card must be of equal or lesser value than your most expensive of the three purchases.) ALL CARDS IN THE BIRTHDAY AND ALL OCCASION SECTIONS QUALIFY TOWARDS YOUR PURCHASE. STOCK UP ON THOSE BIRTHDAY CARDS NOW SO THEY'LL BE ON HAND FOR THE LAST MINUTE. You know birthdays sometimes slip up on us or the kids forget to tell you they got an invitation to a party. Just keep a few cards on hand and you'll be prepared. A handmade card says you care even more and they'll never guess it was a last minute thought. Here are a few of the designs available. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Did you get some unexpected gifts this Christmas? Did someone do something nice for your over the recent holidays? Now is the time to say thank you and what better way than with a handmade greeting card!

The latest Etsygreetings endeavor is a project called Mission Soldier Support. Participating team members are sending a minimum of five cards each overseas to an Air Support Battalion. These are blank cards that the soldiers can send home to loved ones. You can help too by purchasing a card to send. I'm sending five, won't you help make it ten? I just added this one to my shop with this project in mind.
