Mine are not on the way. Mine sometimes even end up going out close to or even after Christmas. I confess.

I heard a Plurk friend exclaiming that she’d already received a card from an uber-organized Martha type. I guarantee it wasn’t me. In fact, I just cut up last year’s cards a week ago! With the help of a few fun craft scissors and a basket full of holiday and birthday cards, I can create gift tags and little decorative pieces for gift wrap. Some cards will yield not just one, but several cute tags.

Martha Stewart doesn’t live here. Nope. Never has, never will. But I’ll tell you this: I haven’t purchased gift tags since we were married 25 years ago. It’s too much fun (and green and frugal)to do it this way!
