little old tradition

If you know the Soard family well....then you know about our special Christmas wrapping.....

From as early as I can remember Santa/Mom.Dad/Aunt.Uncle/Grandma.pa presented our gifts in fabric bags.  This was pre-gift bag era and my family was apparently progressive in 'green' giving!!  So every year we'd pull out the huge box of homemade multi-fabric/multi-sized fabric bags and WRAP away.  It was SOOO fun and easy and it was always a blast for me to see who got the white fabric with red roosters embossed on it bag for a present (sounds like a perfect holiday pattern-right?!)!  Anyway, I have always thought why did we ONLY do the fabric bag for Christmas?.......

While Tracy and I were shopping at IKEA one afternoon, I laid my eyes on this adorable SALE print-- had to purchase!! I went to town last week on my mom's trusty sewing machine and oh do I love what came out!!!

Bless my mother for aiding in this mini-project! I just have been loving these little bags full of love!  The adorable labels are from Sweetwater, given to me as a Christmas gift from my Uncle....aren't they just tooooo great!

Can't wait to see what lovelies come out of these for the rest of my life......
