'Anything but a card'
I thought I woud have a go at making a gift box., so I found a you tube video which showed me in simple terms how to make a box. I felt so pleased with myself to do something out of my comfort zone as boxes scare me. I used a freebie crafters companion paper and a freebie bauble die to make a tag.

What are you all up to over the weekend? I'm hoping to do some more Christmas cards, I've done quite abit Christmas shopping so far-mainly online due to still getting over my bad chest-6 weeks its taken. The good news is I've got my voice virtually back-whoopee.... 
The bad news is I fell over our dog hunter and hurt my ribs... whoops. Hubby picked me up from the floor. Gosh I wish I bounced like children tend to. 
Oh well onwards and upwards.
Take care everyone and thank you again for popping by and being so supportive.
