My husband has a large family and we take turns hosting a Christmas get together. When it's our turn to host, I usually handcraft something for each family. Of course, being a procrastinator, it can make for a hectic holiday, but it's definitely worth the effort.
Thanks for sharing this adorable bag. I most love making my daughter gifts (she just loves the things I create for her).
Thanks for sharing your project. Beautiful. I can see a homemade set of greeting cards going in a bag like this for my Mom and Mom in law. Both love my homemade cards and I keep them stocked up not only for Christmas but for all occasions.

Wow, what a gorgeous bag! I used to love making handmade gifts for my Mom because more than anyone, she always appreciated the effort and creativity involved. Sadly, she's gone now. I still make handmade gifts, but they're never received with the amount of enthusiasm and appreciation.

I've been a bit slack in the making of holiday gifts... don't even make Christmas cards (I know, awful card maker that I am). Cookies? Does that count?
I love making gifts for as many as I can, with the help of my daughters! We make a list and a schedule at the end of Aug. and get going... so much anticipation this way. I love that we truly consider the one receiving.
Love this gift bag - it's simple yet gorgeous!
Everyone on my list gets something handcrafted from me - either a card, gift tag, gift box or gift bag. It is quite a bit of work but I love every minute of it!
I love to make holiday cards for my family. My granddaughter has saved every card I've made her!
